I beg young people to travel. If you dont have a passport, get one. Take a summer, get a backpack and go to Delhi, go to Saigon, go to Bangkok, go to Kenya. Have your mind blown. Eat interesting food. Dig some interesting people. Have an adventure. Be careful. Come back and youre going to see your country differently, youre going to see your president differently, no matter who it is. Music, culture, food, water. Your showers will become shorter. Youre going to get a sense of what globalization looks like. Its not what Tom Friedman writes about; Im sorry. Youre going to see that global climate change is very real. And that for some people, their day consists of walking 12 miles for four buckets of water. And so there are lessons that you cant get out of a book that are waiting for you at the other end of that flight. A lot of people-Americans and Europeans-come back and go, Ohhhhh. And the light bulb goes on. Henry Rollins
