Travel.

Travel whenever you can. Go to places you are curious about. Life is too short to not explore the world around you. #IntellectualCuriosity. 

“You might not choose the place where you are born, but you may decide where you want to live.”

The idea here is that living in another country will help you question your own behaviour. Are you doing “this” and “that” because the social environment around you “stress” you do behave that way or do you intrinsically enjoy doing it. Are you really this “type” of person? What if we put you in a totally new environment where no one knows you, will you live differently?

“So why are self-discerning reflections more likely to happen when living abroad? Well, when people live in their home country, they are often surrounded by others who mostly behave in similar ways, so they are not compelled to question whether their own behaviours reflect their core values or the values of the culture in which they are embedded. In contrast, when living abroad, our data found that people’s exposure to novel cultural values and norms prompts them to repeatedly engage with their own values and beliefs, which are then either discarded or strengthened.”
