Dear Taichung Happiers,

Time for an upgrade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDXWUBIUi88

What is the nature of travel? Food, culture, festival......., what do we truly travel for? Taichung Happiers’ best friend Albert Einstein never traveled “alone”--“Our task must be to free ourselves… by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.” And our host Queena has taken travel in more than an impulse buy. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to join us in sharing everyone’s moments of true travel inspiration.

How conscious are you as a traveler? What value can we create while explaining to a 7-year-old child what a border is and why your character is more important than your origin? Merve Karaman, an admirable advocate of Culture Intelligence, endorses traveling and storytelling to diminish psychological borders and establish connections. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOH5u4tn2mg This heartfelt speech is a crystal echo of French essayist and critic Marcel Proust’s humble ambition. “The only real voyage consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes; in seeing the universe through the eyes of another, one hundred others-in seeing the hundred universes that each of them sees.” Now, my dear friends, let us test our Cultural Intelligence before rushing to the airport. http://www.global-dynamics.com/cultural-intelligence/take-the-cq-quiz

How to exercise the good taste in our ability to feel the desire for choice in travel? This City Cat is an ambassador to chances. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b65DWvTyTJc Receiving the 1992 Nobel Prize in Literature, Saint Lucia poet and playwright Derek Walcott simply yet powerfully put “I read; I travel; I become.” Your departure is demanded by your reading inspiration—your travel memories motivate you to read further—what is more delicious for summer than a freshwater Library? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsbZsjXj8iA If you love all the magic and mystery of the Libraries, you see the twins named Reading and Traveling. http://bookriot.com/2013/10/14/reading-as-traveling/ Choose a theme for your destination list! In pursuit of cultural curiosity, author and speaker Chip Conley traveled for Festivals around the world for the opportunities to be spiritually transformed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsrrbu4HeVY Imagine you’ve attended these festivals, what reading can match this transcendence?

How to define Balanced Happiness for your journey? What is another name of Traveling but embracing empathy, humanity, and diversity? What is the source of life lessons but viewpoints from diverse cultures? An open heart is remarkably rewarding for our travel; meanwhile, reading is the most effective way to encourage empathy. In the graphic novel about immigration, The Arrival, award-winning author Shaun Tan illustrated cultural and language barriers and trusted in readers to think with sincerity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAMaEUBuF98

“No Difference” by Shel Silverstein

Small as a peanut
Big as a giant,
We're all the same size
When we turn off the light.

Red black or orange,
Yellow or white
We all look the same
When we turn off the light.

So maybe the way
To make everything right
Is for God to just reach out
And turn off the light!

The primary purpose to travel for English writer, philosopher, and humanist Aldous Huxley (26 July 1894 – 22 November 1963) is “to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.” Well, it doesn’t clash about the role travel plays as our way of learning at all. Most importantly, an added bonus for travel is actually our hidden talents surface again. Here is bonus of the bonus. Ta Da! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XvrOTOJvtk Join us. Thanks.





With Gratitude,
Jasmine
