I’ve tried new foods, experienced different traditions, met some amazing people and gone on some incredible adventures to some amazing places. I've learned to step back and enjoy life and nature a bit more. In the U.S., we often work, work, work, and are in a rush from one place to another. Here in Slovenia, however, life is much more laid back and people make it a point to spend a little leisure time each day. I think that this practice is very beneficial and helps you put life in perspective. Regardless of which place you visit or culture that you interact with, there is always something beneficial to be learned from the experience. All you have to do is put yourself out there and experience it. You won’t regret it.
