This travel quote struck me deeply the moment I read it. I mulled it over and over in my head, repeating it to friends and waiting to hear their thoughts.
Don’t tell me how educated you are, tell me how much you traveled. -Mohammed
As someone who has spent more of her life in an educational institution than out of one, I’d like to think that formal education has some hefty value. But at the same time, nothing has moved me to change my habits and lifestyle in the way that the lessons I learned traveling did. I think perhaps the best education is one that combines traditional knowledge with the self-discovery and world-awareness that travel brings.
What do you think?
