Expand your horizons

Today I want to encourage you to try new things and expand your horizons. Now, I obviously don’t know what that looks like for your individually, but I believe it is important to always introduce new things into your life.

For example, when I travel I love to experience the culture of the town I am in. And that goes for when I am abroad and when I am within the states. No matter where you go the place you are in has something special to offer you.

When Josh and I were on the cruise with Nerium last year, one of the days was docked in Nassau, Bahamas. Since it was a free day to do whatever we wanted, we decided to explore the town. We literally walked all over. We got to see the homes of the people who live there, go in and out of the shops (which were geared for tourists, but have their own charm), and we got to see the “Queens Staircase.”

That day was by far my favorite of the whole trip. And we capped it off by cooling off at the beach and then bar hopped the whole way back to the ship where we chatted with locals and got to hear about the Bahamas from them. It was so fun!

And if I am being honest, Josh and I probably would never have chosen on our own to go to the Bahamas, but I am so glad that we were gifted that amazing trip! It fueled our desire to explore this world we live in and see new things.

Now obviously traveling abroad may not be for you, and even if it is, it’s costly and not something you can do whenever you want. But you can still expand your horizons, even locally. Josh and I also make an effort to try new cuisines. When we first got together neither of us would have ever given sushi a try, and now we order it every once in a while when we want something different.

So go forth and try something new! You never know what you will discover about yourself!
