Seeing new places, studying ancient sites, exploring natural wonders are great but more than anything, it is the contact with locals that I treasure the most. I am lucky enough to be invited home often and have kept in touch for years, with those I met. Couch surfing is yet another way to meet locals as well as other travelers, especially in countries where accommodation is thin on the ground.

Tales, both tall and short of travels. Learning about their cultures and sharing my own.
