My Intro to Foreign Travel

I have always loved to travel but for much of my life I only travelled in the US and never considered foreign travel. It was just easier to stay within my comfort zone. However, some years ago, a business colleague and very good friend of mine, Dr. Gopal, finally convinced me that I needed to see some of the rest of the world and experience different cultures. He argued that there was much to learn and that it would broaden my perspective on life in general. He finally convinced me to journey to France for a business meeting and then, a little later, to travel to India. Each of these trips was laced with some healthy doses of sightseeing as well as heavy exposure to the local cultures. I must say that I became hooked and have loved foreign travel ever since. It is truly amazing how much your perspectives change, broaden and mature as you immerse yourself in other cultures. Thanks Doc! I am in your debt for patiently persuading me to take the plunge.
