When I travel, I’m always fascinated by how people live in their environments. People-watching abroad often shows me that my assumptions about other cultures are often wrong until I experience them firsthand. Immersing myself in different cultures has taught me to find commonalities, respect differences, and identify what truly matters to me.
During my recent trip to the Congo, the overwhelming sense of community left a lasting impression. From dawn until late at night, the streets were alive with people gathering, businesses thriving, and a sense of connection that was palpable.
