This has to be the best piece of advice anyone could give their children. The world is so big and full of beauty. There is much more to be seen the 50 states. My family was stationed in Germany for 4 years and every day since we’ve been back in the U.S. I wish we could have stayed a little longer.

You have just made me a better person and a better mother by reading your beautiful letter. Thank you. I read many blogs and never ever comment, but I feel compelled to let you know how much I appreciated reading your words right now. They were a gift to me and they will be even more so to your beautiful daughters.

Fantastic letter, Rashmi. Beautifully put, and incredibly true. I’ve never had the desire to travel, I’ve never felt wanderlust and love to be at home, but you make me want to go out and learn more about other cultures, remind and continue to teach my kids that there is a big, big world out there, and for myself, to step out of my own comfort zone. So glad that I am a part of this with you.

You know that I just want to grab a coffee and sit and spend a day talking and talking with you Rashmi? Everything that you say relates to the reasons I travel with my kids – because it opens the mind when it opens the eyes. If we started talking about travel i think we’d never stop :) thank you for sharing my travel blog too – the passion to travel is as great as the passion to capture it…

Rashmi, you may as well have been writing this to me and many other American moms just as much as your daughters — such wise words here! I must admit that I have not yet ventured out of the US (yikes!), but do hope to someday. I hope to instill a love of travel in my children. As you said, it is so important that our children can understand and appreciate what it truly means to be a global citizen. Such important words! xoxo
