IF THERE’S ANYTHING WE’VE LEARNED IN RECENT YEARS, IT’S THAT IT’S A small world after all. After a pandemic pause, travel has rebounded, and people are appreciating it like never before. The empathy and sense of community we have as global travelers—guests in other peoples’ homes—is stronger than ever, making wanderlust not just a privilege, but a powerful act as well. Whether it’s a road trip not far from our own backyards or a major getaway across an ocean, as much as we gain from immersing ourselves in a different place, we also forge new connections showing the common ties of humankind.
