Travelling is about bonding, acquiring memories and seizing teachable moments.

With the birth of technology, the world is so much closer. America looks almost next door to us, Bali is a stone’s throw away, China and the great wall beckon, Rome is romantic and Paris pretty. It beckons us in magazines, on television, in documentaries, advertisements and the Internet. Everyone wants a bit of travel and living.
