While I haven’t been to Italy or Korea, I have had the opportunity to speak with local folks who have, and there’s one thing they all have in common – once they’ve traveled to another country and experienced a different way of living, enjoyed meeting locals and found a plethora of places they’d like to see again or experience for the first time, they have the “travel bug” and are already thinking about possible future travels.

Even if you don’t have a passport or the current time or resources for this kind of traveling, you can live vicariously through reading about it our most recent issue of Franklin Living magazine. Whether that inspires you to work on planning an overseas trip of your own or simply to consider new experiences closer to home, there’s plenty to spark your imagination and plant a creative seed for contemplating new adventures, both large and small.
