Since age of 20, I travelled abroad frequently, and several countries of those countries have become my second home.
My first trip was to toscany, where I stayed for about 20 days. This experience changed everything. until then, I had place great importance on values entirely on my experiences in Japan.
The accommodation I stayed in was inconvenient. Firstly, there were no electrical appliances whatsoever, such as pendant lights, toasters, microwaves. Furthermore,water was not particularly clean.
50km approx from firenze in the country side, the area is known as "Colle". I still adore this place.
I shall never forget how I wondered for nearly two hours that time.
I asked many people for the correct route to my accommodation, but there were too few houses for residents to ask, and I finally arrived only after a long period of wandering.
Trip is always our teacher in life. It shows us how mistaken our perceptions of the world and our perspectives are, and how narrow our horizons truly are.
How ever, it also reveals just how much kindness humanity hidden away.
Since learning about it from people living outside our comfort zone, I have come to value human nature and character more than ability or background.
