When I read “Why Germany?” by Vania M, I totally agreed. Going to a country you know nothing about can be scary or boring or completely weird, but once you get there, you learn things you wouldn’t ever think you’d know, and see incredible places and things. Being exposed to many cultures is so important because of the differences.

Vania, you’re very lucky to have gone to Germany— and it’s great that you loved it! A lot of Americans are oblivious to the fact that there’s a whole world out there, not just U.S.A.! I loved this little article, and I hope others will realize that everyone should travel and absorb all the different cultures and customs.
