I noticed something: People who have traveled a lot tend to judge less. Not because they became nicer, but because they've seen too many versions of what's "normal." In one country, it's normal to eat with your hands. In another, it's normal to stay quiet at the table. In a third, it's normal to hug strangers. When you've seen 30 different versions of "the right way," you stop believing yours is the only one. Travel doesn't just teach geography. It teaches tolerance. ART OF POETS
