“Education is a social process. Education is growth. Education is not a preparation for life; education is life itself.”
John Dewey (1859-1952) American philosopher and psychologist

Travel is essential to the soul.

While many people all over the world take vacations (or holidays) during different times of the year, for me, vacation time is going on right now. We often take trips around Christmas and New Year as well as Spring break, but most of my life, since starting school; I've associated the summer in the US with vacation. That feeling was reinforced by having a daughter of my own.
