We aren’t really ones for cheesy pink hearts and teddy bears here at Greenheart Travel, but with Valentine’s Day (ahem, Single’s Awareness Day), making February’s focus on all types of love, we did get to talking about how much we are passionate about exploring new countries and cultures.
Traveling to some place you’ve never been has all the makings for a love affair. There is the rush and excitement of getting to know a new neighborhood. The butterflies and nerves of learning to communicate with the locals, the bliss of understanding a simple phrase, the frustration of not knowing how to read a menu, the longing of the next adventure, and the moment you want to shout to the world that you have given your heart to travel.
Learn the language of love on a summer language course in France, show your compassion on a volunteer trip with your friends, forever change your academic career on a high school program abroad or find yourself in a long-term relationship with travel when you apply to teach abroad in one of our amazing destinations around the world. We hope that the blogs we feature daily will inspire you act on your passion for exploration, and that instead of trying to subdue your daydreams for the safety of the routine, you get a little reckless this month and embrace that beautiful wanderlust.
“Travel is like love, mostly because it’s a heightened state of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, undimmed by familiarity and ready to be transformed. That is why the best trips, like the best love affairs, never really end.”Pico Iyer
