You truly are never too old! The world is vast and there are millions of people across it living very different lives - I want to see, feel, hear, smell and touch these extraordinary places! I want to meet people, to hear their histories, their stories - the exciting, the mundane and the everyday - and open my mind to other people's realities, as much as they may also choose to learn about me. This mutual exchange offers the chance for so much learning...” ANGELA WRIGHT Senior Travel Consultant angelaw@enchantingtravels.com “I have always believed in the Hindu philosophy Vasudev Kutumbhakam - the world is one family. We are all connected to each other. Basic human emotions like love, happiness and sadness span across humankind and that is what makes me believe that I am similar to a lot of people on this planet. That’s what I experience when I travel. It gives such immense perspective of life and humbles me. I was traveling in the northeastern states of India where I learned about the Khasi community, a matriarchal society where the youngest daughter of the family becomes the heir. I couldn’t believe that I was in my own country where patriarchy is the norm. I often introspect and realize that there are much more amazing communities. Some communities have faced many hardships yet in spite of it, they are here, as thriving and growing societies.” AKSHAY MAGGU Travel Consultant akshay@enchantingtravels.com "Traveling gives everyone a fresher perspective. If planned in the right way, traveling can be about so much more than just crossing places off your bucket list. Seeing new landscapes, observing people of a different culture and associating their views with their roots broadens horizons and sheds some light into why people are so different from one another. If there’s one single thing on this list that can impact the world greatly, it’s the agreeableness factor. Not to say we all need to organically hold the same views, but we should at a minimum, have the compassion to understand another’s."
