It’s such a simple little word, but it’s a simple little word that can completely change everything.

Before I left on my adventure, I was a research fiend. I talked to anyone and everyone about traveling and reading blogs became my not so guilty pleasure. A co-worker of mine shared her niece’s blog (The Fernweh Wolf), which I highly recommend, and I read a post about how saying ‘Yes’ is one of the best things you can do while traveling. I didn’t really get it at first, but after traveling, I completely understand.

You might not think much of it, but a simple ‘Yes’ could mean you get to discover a new place you had never heard of, and therefore wasn’t even on your radar.

I’m going to keep this one short and sweet, because it’s simple. Be open-minded. When someone offers you a weird local food, eat it. If someone asks you to wake up at 3 am to go watch the sunset, say yes and do it.

Just….say YES! And your opportunities will become endless.
