Journeying with Purpose: Why Travel Matters
Travel isn't just about seeing new places-it's about seeing with new eyes. Standing on a Turkish rooftop watching a whirling dervish, I witnessed a powerful metaphor for meaningful travel: one foot anchored in community while the other steps around acknowledging the divine in all creation. This balance between rootedness and exploration captures what Rick Steves champions-travel that transforms us. Unlike typical vacations focused on attractions and comfort, purposeful travel challenges us to cross cultural divides and return home with fresh perspectives. In our polarized world, this approach offers something desperately needed: the ability to understand different viewpoints without abandoning our own values. Like medieval court jesters who mixed with common people and told uncomfortable truths to kings without punishment, travelers can gather insights from places where people live differently and bring back valuable perspectives that challenge our assumptions. Whether visiting Denmark (where high taxes come with high satisfaction) or Iran (where some willingly trade freedoms for religious governance), the rewards of travel only materialize when we open ourselves to different ways of seeing the world.
