Well said. In terms of furnishings our one-sided few of the world, the media has played a very important part. For example, people from this side of the world feel when they get to first world countries all their problems will be solved because of the things they see on television or movies, which is not the case. I too want to leave my country to another for better opportunities but I'm fully aware of the fact that no one has it easy, respective of where you come from or the color of your skin. People still struggle in first world countries. In fact, society is even more demanding than ours. Here you can get away with almost anything, but that's not the case here.
I believe travelers to be very open-minded people because they've experienced, first and, different cultures and know things for their true worth. That's will I want to someday travel around the world, see the world through my open eye and I hope next year will be a quantum leap towards that goal

I think most first world countries have a face they show the rest of the world, but keep hidden the same problems that many other countries face. I know some people believe that America is everything glamorous that they see on adverts for products. I've no idea how Europe is viewed, but I now know Australia isn't all like Crocodile Dundee! Lol!
Something we forget is that western currencies may have a higher value than others, but the cost of living is much higher, so while it buys more elsewhere, in its own country it doesn't go far.
I'd be interested to know what the value my account earnings would mean for you where you are. What does an average $15 per week mean for you?
