TOP 20 REASONS TO TRAVEL

Did you know that Americans are now starting to travel abroad and that the number of passport holders has increased by 35% according to a study conducted in 2015? It has bee suggested that the reasons Americans do not travel are due to time, money, work, fear of leaving the US, language barriers, and mostly for the fear of the unknown. I have had the luxury to travel to over 40 countries, and it is still surprising to hear from people from the states that have never been on an airplane and dare to explore other countries.
