THIS is why we travel! I am so happy you curated these voices that remind us of the real gift that comes from taking ourselves "out of our comfort zone", as you put it. As I was thinking about my year of travel, all of my peak moment stories had to do with connections to people met and stories heard. They were not about the hotel, food or view. It seems very obvious that we humans are built for human connection.

Thanks to all the contributors for such a wonderful collection of profound moments, all with a unifying thread of wanderlust and exploration...You are all my people! Yolanda/Alex, any plans for a Yolo Journal in-person event (like Monocle does)?? Would be amazing to bring this like-minded community together someday!
