Dale Adams and Ron Cisneros explore why travel matters beyond just relaxation. From shifting cultural perspectives and humanizing "the other" to gaining a deeper appreciation for home, they share personal stories from Spain, Iceland, Argentina, Germany, Antarctica, and beyond. Whether you're crossing an ocean or just the next county over, travel can challenge your assumptions, mature your worldview, and remind you what makes home special.
