INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIA

There are many benefits to travel, but one of the more important for me is learning how to appreciate the "Here And Now". When you are sitting outside of a cafe in Innsbruck having lunch, you have real difficulty worrying about your job back in Tracy, California, USA. Your mind is on the present and thinking about potential problems 8,000 miles away doesn't do you much good. Besides, you are having to remember your college German so you can order your food. When I get over an hour from home, I can relax much more and enjoy the present. If I were to get phone call, I'd have to say "I'm sorry, I can't come and help you just now. I am too far away." Traveling gives you a more realistic sense of space and time. It also gives you a sense of your real importance.
