I travel because I’d rather look back on life and say ‘I did that’ instead of ‘if only I had.’

Travel and volunteering invite action over hesitation. You learn by showing up, lending a hand, trying a new skill, and letting a place teach you. The memories that stick are the ones you earned by saying yes. If a project or journey calls to you, take the small step that moves it forward. Later, you will be glad you did.
