> " You can read and read and read, and still, you are always surprised when you actually encounter these experiences in real life. It's just a different experience that you cannot get from studying, watching videos or reading books or articles.

> " I encourage all of my students to go experience the world. It is so big, and we only live once, so we should all go out and experience as many parts of it as we can. To travel and speak with people of that region, it is another way of learning.
