Traveling plays a vital part of Amelia’s outlook on life. Her travel journals reflect some of her favorite experiences in life. She believes that we learn more about the world and ourselves when we visit other countries and learn to appreciate other cultures. Much like reading, we expand our minds by learning about other perspectives and walks of life.
