Chelsie Leathers, Thailand
“While studying halfway across the world, I rode elephants, spoke new languages, explored caves, wandered high mountains and allowed myself to get lost. Thailand was not designed to make me comfortable, it was molded to make its own people comfortable. By abandoning this comfort zone, I was able to immerse myself in global political systems, and international ways of living. I left a student, and returned a storyteller. It was then that I realized that adventure is the best way to learn.”
