“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views on men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one corner of the earth all one’s lifetime” – Mark Twain

*disclaimer: I know many many people who travel and have traveled much more than I. This is just my own personal experience and story, I’m not making claims over anyone. I believe that traveling has more to do with your perspective on the culture you’re visiting than the amount of countries you’ve visited.
I admire your disclaimer. Too often it seems like people are simply in a race to add as many countries to their list as possible.
as someone who has never left the country, the mark twain quote has always caused me ssome cognitive dissonance. so i am grateful for your words on the power of visiting other places and the effect it has on who you are and who you want to be. i travel vicariously through others… for now.
Stumbled upon your site and am living vicariously through your perspective… Just want to say thanks for taking the time and effort for journaling your thoughts. Trust me when I tell you this… 20 years from now, you’ll thank yourself for doing it.
wonderful! I absolutely love your blog. Enjoy Africa, it’s my favorite continent.
I am Brazilian and wonder when and if you’ve planned to be in my country… If you have it on your planns, let me know and I will be happy to share some tips and friends with you
I have not nor do I have plans to but would certainly love to visit your country someday. Thank you!
You ought to travel to Sri Lanka..Such a great island…and the most amazing food..! I promise you won’t regret it! I am from there and I would be happy to show you around if you ever decide to visit!

“Travels | A Well Traveled Woman” ended up being
a terrific post. In case it owned alot more photos this would definitely be possibly even much better.
Thanks ,Jerri
thank you for this small journey on your website – love travelling and understand.
Bekah, I am leaving for Nepal on Thursday and in part it is thanks to you. The opportunity came up shortly after I started following your blog and was inspired by your sense of travel and love for the mountains. Thanks for the boost I needed to take this amazing journey through the Himalayas!

Oh wow!! Nepal is top of my list right now. Have an amazing journey!
I was wondering where you have been in Greece and what your impressions were? I lived in Crete for a year- an incredible place…
Hi Bekah,
Your blog helps me travel even though I am stuck on my tiny island of Singapore. I followed your tumblr before reading your blog. Its such a getaway for my head after a hectic day of work. Thanks! God bless you and your family.
Hi Bekah, just found your blog and love it! May I ask what type of camera you use? Wonderful photography!
Thank you! I use my iphone mostly but on occasion a canon rebel.

Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Chrome. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon. Thank
Thanks for letting me know! Ill see what I can do
