Eu tenho viajado pelo mundo. Em resumo, eu gosto dessas experiências. Enquanto algumas pessoas gostam de estabilidade, prefiro enfrentar os riscos do desconhecido.

Além disso, as viagens ampliam as perspectivas nos colocando em contato com outras maneiras de viver. Da mesma forma, nos colocamos em contato com nossos próprios desejos e limites, nos empurrando para frente.

Apesar das viagens exigirem algum investimento, eu sou a favor. Ao gastar dinheiro viajando, você também está investindo no seu futuro.
