Overseas travel is a popular activity which has a large social aspect. It is organic and interpersonal; a place leaves a mark on us and we leave our own mark on a place and its people. These influence experiences and stories which we proceed to share with friends and other travellers. Through studies, it has been demonstrated that these experiences can be beneficial to improving harmony and the appreciation of other cultures.
