What's it like at the beginning? Walking fresh into new culture brings out our inner kindergartner. You're not sure what to eat, what to say, where to find water, how to get home. You generally can't express yourself and when you speak there's a good chance others won't understand. It doesn't take long to develop basic skills, however, I believe this is when our minds are the most open. Travel invites this expansion, and I'm excited.
Machu Picchu. I love how the clouds are just as eye-catching as the ancient stone.
