Sheldon and Shae at the Batu Caves<\/p><\/div>\n

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

All barriers came down for me in 2009 when I was sitting on a bus headed toward the Batu Caves in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. \u00a0I was seated next to a Muslim guy about my age who was speaking in broken English \u00a0Even though he was raised as a Muslim and I had been raised as a Mormon, I realized that many of our teachings were the same.<\/p>\n

Although there is still a dispute as to whether Isaac or Ishmael claimed the birthright, in the end we both had been taught to follow high levels of integrity and character. \u00a0He talked about the avoidance of alcohol, wearing modest clothing, and living a chaste life were all teachings he had received as a youth.<\/p>\n

Sometimes living in America you get the idea that Muslim=Taliban. \u00a0Never had I been so narrow minded personally, but those people exist. \u00a0Living in “one little corner of the Earth” doesn’t allow for open-mindedness unless you travel. \u00a0I love travel because it opens my view and helps me to see more clearly.<\/p>\n

Service Travel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Expedia recently released a few touching videos about why people love traveling and how it has affected their lives. \u00a0The marketing campaign’s goals are to motivate people to travel and find their purpose, passion, love, calling, curiosity, etc. \u00a0The videos will warm your soul as you see how travel can truly change people.<\/p>\n
