Q&A with Shelley at Latitude

I was recently interviewed by Latitude, a travel site aimed at sharing culturally-aware stories with passion, positivity and professionalism that inspires you to explore the world with an open mind. This interview was published on the site — you can read it here.

It shares thoughts on the pull of travel, safety issues, how to really experience the culture of a place in a deeper way, and why travel is important for human understanding.

Travel has certainly taught me much about other cultures, beliefs and people in the world — but most of all, it’s taught me more about myself than anything else in my life experiences.
