We are alive to experience, learn, and give back. Put more positive vibes and energy into the universe and push the boundaries of what we "know". Embrace every experience and learn from it. Find humor in everyday life. Sometimes the most wretched travel moments make the best/ funniest stories later on! Give more than you take. When in nature, leave only footprints and take only photos. Live every day to the fullest. Don't be afraid to talk with new people. That's the essence of travel. Be safe, but take risks too! Rar!!!!

My parents taught me never to show up empty handed. I always bring a gift or treat my host to a meal or drinks. If you need help with something, and it's within my ability, consider it done. I also clean up after myself.
