One of today's clients told me that his family would love to travel abroad, but it’s too expensive. The current rules around compulsory schooling in Sweden push prices through the roof during school breaks.
I don’t have children myself, but I said what I genuinely believe: traveling is deeply educational. He wholeheartedly agreed.
Of course, schooling is important, but sometimes rules can become a little too rigid. With the technology we have today, you’d think flexibility would be easier to achieve.
Some of my strongest childhood memories are from travelling with my family. Discovering new places, meeting people from different cultures, hearing new languages, and witnessing unfamiliar traditions. Two weeks in Morocco taught me more about life than a whole school term back home.
Those early experiences shaped me. They taught me adaptability, cultural awareness, and problem-solving in ways a classroom never could.
Traveling is learning, both about yourself and others.
The world is a great teacher.
