A
B
A
And
I'm
really
excited
about
the
three
of
them
being
here,
because
tonight
we
are
going
to
really
dig
deep
and
two
exploring
the
world
and
broaden
broadening
your
perspective,
especially
when
it
comes
to
traveling
and
when
I
think
about
traveling
I,
always
say
to
myself:
geez
I
love
going
different
places,
but
the
three
individuals
you
see
right
here
on
this
panel.
They
really
really
travel
the
world
and
we're
gonna.
Have
some
gonna
get
dig
a
little
bit
deep
on
some
of
these
conversations
or
how
they
became
experts?
A
Because
to
me
they
are
definitely
experts
and
I
learned
a
lot
from
the
three
of
them
and
I
will
hope
that
you
are
willing
and
open
to
learn
as
well.
So
what
I
would
like
from
the
panelists
I
would
love
for
the
three
of
you
to
introduce
yourself.
Tell
the
audience
a
little
bit
about
yourself
who
you
are
and
maybe
something
that
you
know
that
you
really
want
to
share
something
important
about
yourself
and
how
you
got
to
the
point
where
you
are
today.

Hi
everybody,
my
name
is
Kat
goulart
I
am
39
years
old
and
I
live
in
New
London
Connecticut
I
am
I,
actually
retired.
At
a
pretty
early
age,
I
had
a
bail
bond
business
that
was
scattered
across
the
country.
We
had
all
different
offices,
and
so
I
initially
started
traveling
for
work
purposes
and
the
more
I
saw
the
more
I
wanted
to
say
and
so
I've
been
self-employed
since
I've
been
23
years
old
and
I
will
be
self-employed
until
the
day
that
I
die,
because
I
need
the
time
to
travel.
C
D
Map
dual
rock
mine,
I've,
been
Muhammad
I,
also
go
by
the
name
of
Dream
Chaser
number
one.
So
can
you
say
that
again,
please
drinking
Jason
number
one,
and
so
basically
traveling
is
a
part
of
Dream
Chaser.
Now
you
know
I
want
to
see
the
world
see
how
different
cultures
different
different
people
and
so
I
mean
I'm
sure.
There's
all
these
great
questions
so
we'll
get
to
that
later.
That's
a.
E
Hi
I'm
Lindsay
Thompson
I'm
from
Hartford
Connecticut,
originally
from
Minnesota,
so
part
of
my
traveling
brought
me
out
here.
I'm
a
principal
up
in
Hartford
and
I
started
as
a
teacher,
and
the
joke
is
always
that
teachers
are
teachers
because
of
three
reasons:
June
July
in
August,
which
would
lead
to
the
opportunity
to
travel.
A
Thank
you
very
much
so
when
I
think
of
the
three
of
you,
you
know
what
comes
to
my
mind,
cuz,
a
lot
of
people,
they
always
say
well,
I,
don't
want
to
be
on
the
plane.
I
can't
fly
it's
too
much,
I'm,
afraid
of
heights
I'm
getting
on
the
train,
I
see
trains
always
crashing
and
in
accidents,
and
you
know
I,
just
I
feel
comfortable
just
being
in
my
neighborhood
in
my
community
I
want
when
I
look
at
the
three
of
you
who
inspired
you
to
travel,
you
know.
When
did
you
have
that
turning
point?
D
The
real
the
I
used
to
always
travel
around
the
United
States,
you
know,
I
go
to
my
family
is
from
Mississippi,
so
we
would
drive
from
Connecticut
or
New
York
to
Mississippi.
You
stopped
in
all
the
different
places,
but
the
thing
that
really
made
me
want
to
travel.
The
world
is
I,
had
kidney
failure,
and
so
I
had
kidney
failure
for
like
two
and
a
half
years,
and
when
I
had
kidney
failure,
my
brother's
they
went
to
Brazil
and
I,
couldn't
go
to
Brazil
because
of
my
kidneys
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
D
D
Places,
but
that's
really
what
inspired
me
to
travel
I
mean
for
for
somebody
in
my
family,
my
buddy,
all
three
of
my
brothers
went
to
Brazil
at
the
same
time,
and
so
it's
kind
of
like
I
missed
out
on
something,
and
so
since
then
I
probably
traveled
as
much
as
all
three
of
them
put
together
ten
times
like
you
know,
so
it's
just
so
you
know
inspired
me
to
say
you
know,
there's
a
lot
a
lot
more
out
there
in
the
world
of
see.
Oh
yeah.
C
My
parents
were
who
inspired
me
to
travel,
I
and,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
because
they
never
went
anywhere.
They
still
don't
go
anywhere.
They
are
very,
very
happy
to
stay
at
home
and
you
know
see
what
we
have
here
and
they
grew
up
very
traditionally
and
they
they
live
where
their
parents
lived
and
their
parents
lived,
were
their
parents
lived
and
we
didn't
go
anywhere
as
a
kid.
We
didn't
have
much
money,
even
if
we
did
we
probably
still
looking
at
going
anywhere.
C
So
we
got
a
free
trip
to
Disney
World
in
Florida
and
when
I
saw
really
I
know
it
sounds
ridiculous,
but
when
I
saw
how
exciting
it
could
be
to
be
away
from
home
and
the
bustle
in
the
airport-
and
you
know
even
even
just
the
ride-
oh
we
got
up
in
the
middle
of
the
night
and
we're
driving
somewhere,
fun
and
and
I
was
hooked
and
I
have
had
wanderlust
ever
since.
So
awesome.
E
E
I
was
very
far
away
from
homes,
probably
the
first
time
I
was
ever
away
from
my
parents
that
long
and
it
was
okay,
I
survived
the
plane,
ride,
I
got
back,
and
then,
after
that
experience,
we
as
friends,
really
talked
about
it
a
lot.
But
then
I
started
talking
with
my
grandparents,
but
I
hadn't
known
my
mom's
mother
and
father
had
traveled
quite
a
bit
because
they
just
never
talked
about
it.
E
A
lot
with
the
grandchildren
and
so
I
just
got
to
learn
a
lot
more
from
them
and
what
it
inspired
them
to
travel
around,
really
mostly
United
States,
but
I.
Think
that
trip
just
kind
of
I
guess
pulled
the
band-aid
off
in
a
way
that
one
traveler
thought
my
parents
but
being
on
a
plane
for
the
first
time
being
off
our
way.
Everything
worked
out.
Really
well
so
was
why
not
continue
to
keep
pursuing
different
things
and
then
just
talking
with
other
people.
E
A
C
C
It's
one
of
my
favorite
things
to
do
whether
I'm
home
or
whether
I'm
somewhere
new,
is
just
to
go
for
a
drive
and
kind
of
surrender
to
the
experience
and
find
what
you
find
and
so
I
landed
in
Mineola.
And
it
is
this
you
know,
of
course
it's
Texas.
So
it's
a
little
two-bit
town
and
it's
got
the
the
crossroads
in
the
middle
and
they
did
an
amazing
amazing
job
of
preserving
history.
They
had
the
hitches
for
the
horses
still
in
the
road
and
the
old
post,
to
hook
everything
up
to.
C
They
had
antique
stores
and-
and
it
was
this-
this
beautiful
blend
of
really
old
buildings
and
then
modern
architecture,
and
it
really
inspired
me
because
I'm
on
my
city's
Economic
Development
Commission
and
we're
kind
of
struggling
now
developmentally
in
New
London
with
how
we
can
move
forward
and
I.
Had
this
lightbulb
moment
that
wait
a
minute.
B
D
D
More
but
Machu
Picchu
is
I.
Think
the
for
me
was
the
best
place.
I've
been
because
to
get
there
you
so
we
went
to
Peru
and
we
were
in
like
the
city
and
then
the
next
day
we
went
to
where
Machu
Picchu
is
so
we
had
to
take
a
plane
from
the
capital
to
Machu
Picchu
and
when
you
get
to
the
place,
you
have
to
take
a
you
take
a
truck.
So
we
stayed
the
night
at
this
beautiful
hotel.
D
D
People
actually
hiked
to
the
top
of
the
mountain,
but
it
was
a
long
ride
in
a
bus,
and
so
we
get
to
the
top
of
the
mountain
and
it's
like
it's
a
whole
community
at
the
top
of
this
mountain,
so
think
of
all
Machu
Picchu.
What
is
interesting
is
that
you
know
when,
when
the
Europeans
came
into
Peru
they
never
they
would
have
never
found
the
the.
What
is
it.
Mayans
are
the
Aztec
one
of
the
Indian
tribes.
They
would
have
never
found
them
because
you
couldn't
see
on
top
of
this
mountain.
D
They
were
so
high
up
and
so
the
only
reason
they
found
him
it.
The
only
reason
why
that
culture
ended
was
because
one
of
the
Indians
had
gone
out
to
get
some
food
or
go
get
something
and
they
came
back
and
they
had
gotten
sick,
and
so
they
killed
everybody,
and
so
the
only
time
they
found
that
culture
when
they
had
planes
to
go
over
it
so
like.
Basically,
it
was
unknown
until
they
a
plane
went
over
and
they
said.
D
Oh
snap,
look
at
that
on
top
of
that
mountain,
so
that
and
then
so
it's
a
place
where
you're
up
there
and
you
look
out
and
you
just
like
kind
of
say
like
it's
amazing.
It
was
just
amazing
the
view
the
waited
it
looks.
The
the
I
mean
the
fact
that
there
are
like
llamas
up
there
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
It's
like
you
know
so
pretty
awesome
place.
That's
fascinating!
Now,
I
got
right
down
to
seven
one.
A
E
Interesting
trip
that
I
took
was
after
Hurricane,
Katrina
had
hit
New
Orleans,
and
so
it
wasn't
a
vacation
trip,
but
it
was
one
that
we
had
taken
with
service
in
mind
of
being
able
to
help
not
even
rebuild
but
help
clean
up
after
the
hurricane
had
gone
through
and
I
would
say.
It
was
most
interesting
because
and
all
my
traveling
there's
been
some
sort
of
element
of
really
getting
to
know
the
community
I
think
that's
really
important
and
not
just
being
a
tourist
and
I
don't
like
to
stand
out
as
a
tourist.
E
That's
probably
like
insecurities
that
I
try
to
avoid
so
I
get
to
know
the
other
things
that
are
happening,
but
just
getting
to
know
the
families
and
talking
with
families
when
you
were
coming
to
their
their
homes,
which
they
didn't
live
in
anymore,
but
for
them
to
describe
like
what
actually
happened,
how
their
family
was
safe
and
then
to
get
to
the
home
and
try
to
break
everything
down
to
get
to
to
a
place
that
they
could
rebuild.
It
was
really
humbling
because
I
think,
as
I
was
fairly
young
at
the
time.
E
In
order
for
that
to
happen,
and
then
just
the
ton
of
time
that
kids
lost
in
schools
and
that
community's
lost
was
just
really
I
was
heartbreaking
but
helpful
for
me
I
think
to
learn
at
that
young
age,
this
resiliency
and
hope
and
get
it
to
get
to
see
it
firsthand
and
it
was
fun.
I
mean
we
lived
in
like
an
abandoned
hotel
and
it
was
really
gross
and
like
no
running
water,
and
so
it
was
an
experience
that
we
were
really
pushed
to.
Maybe
outside
of
I
know
outside
my
comfort
zone.
E
But
then
living
with
other
people
who
are
tired
and
you're
working
all
day
was
a
transformative
experience.
For
me
to
say
the
least.
We
were
only
down
there
for
six
days,
so
there
there
were
a
lot
more
people.
Obviously
families
that
are
still
affected
by
it
but
I
would
say,
is
most
interesting
just
in
the
things
that
really
changed.
My
perspective.
B
A
C
Right,
yeah
well
believe
it
or
not.
I
used
to
actually
be
a
very
quiet
shy
person
well
into
my
early
20s
I
was
the
person
that
was
happy
to
you,
know,
play
on
my
phone
or
or
stick
my
nose
in
the
book
and
and
not
ever
speak
to
anyone
and
I.
Also
something
you
should
know.
I
get
a
little
bit
of
anxiety,
riding
middle
seat,
I'm
6
feet
tall,
I'm
kind
of
a
big
kid,
so
I
don't
like
to
ride
in
the
middle,
and
so
there
was
this
one
particular
trip.
C
I
was
on
pretty
early
on
in
my
career,
I
got
stuck
in
the
middle
of
the
seat
and
there
was
no
amount
of
whining
or
trying
to
you
know
course,
my
way
into
an
upgrade,
or
you
know,
flashing
anything
that
was
gonna
do
any
good
and
so
middle
seat.
It
was,
and
so
I
and
and
I
got
stuck
between
two
of
the
most
amazing
people.
I've
ever
met
and
I
didn't
want
to
have
a
conversation.
The
only
reason
I
did
is
because
for
as
not
small
as
I
am
they
were
very
large.
C
I
had
a
big
old
farm
boy
on
one
side
of
me
and
a
guy
from
Hawaii
on
the
other
side
of
me
and
I.
Had
all
my
arms
folded
in
and
I
felt,
like
I
was
five
years
old.
They
were
gigantic
and
the
only
thing
we
could
do
was
just
make
jokes
about
it.
Like
hey
three
big
kids
together.
What
are
you
gonna
do
and
we
are
still
friends
to
this
day
we
still
made.
C
You
know
and
and
and
doing
more
things
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
you
know
I
was
running
for
office
and
running
my
own
company
and
I'm
involved
with
this
amazing
amazing
community
outreach
group-
and
we
do
some
really
really
good
work
and
my
life
is
completely
different
now
and
it
may
not
have
been
if
I
didn't
get
stuck
in
that
stupid
middle
seat.
So
for
me
it
really.
You
know,
travel
has
transformed
me
and
it's
taught
me
to
you,
know,
step
outside
my
comfort
zone
and
I.
D
That
one
of
the
things
that
I
that
I
take
away
from
traveling
is
like
leadership
in
the
sense
of
you,
get
more
respect
for
people
and
then
in
the
lives
that
they
have
to
leave
baby.
They
live
I,
think
that
when
you
live
in
America
you
kind
of
take
for
granted
kind
of
basically
everything
you
know
you
say
running
water,
I'm
gonna
go
get
something
to
eat.
All
these
things
are
like
right
at
your
fingertips,
and
so
I
think
you
know
when
you
travel
out
into
the
world,
I
mean
I.
D
If
we
pull
up
on
this
village
and
all
these
people
with
these
little
kids
are
running
up
and
they
want
these
cookies,
they
were,
and-
and
so,
if
you,
what
you
realize,
though,
is
that
every
day
they
bring
a
group
by
these
this
little
group
of
kids,
but
these
cookies,
so
they
had
candy,
they
had
cookies,
but
the
kids
really
wanted
to
cook
cookies,
and
so
it
may.
It
was
one
of
the
saddest
days
because
you
imagine,
like
all
these
guys-
and
you
see
them
like.
D
D
D
So
so
it
just
keeps
you
on
your
toes
and
remind
you
that
you
can't
take
your
life
for
granted
and
you
got
to
also
respect
the
lives
that
other
people
have
out
and
I
think
that's
important,
because
sometimes
we
become
you
know
like
I,
don't
know
it's
a
ungrateful
American,
but
it's
like
doing.
We
just
assume.
You
know
we're
we're
we're
we're
gonna
be
accepted
everywhere.
We
go
and
I
think
that
when
you
see
different
people's
situations
it
just
kind
of
humbles
you
a
little
bit
some.
E
E
Little
nerve-wracking
anyways
you're,
staying
with
a
family,
you
don't
know
they
just
have
been
deemed
safe
and
friendly
for
you
to
stay
with,
but
I
remember.
There
was
a
one
family
when
we
were
in
England
I,
don't
remember
the
city.
Parents
are
both
professors
and
their
nine-year-old
would
listen
to
history
on
tape
at
night.
All
the
time
like
very,
very
smart
kid
and
probably
cuz
he's
listening
history,
but
smart
in
the
sense
of
he
was
like
incredibly
perceptive.
E
So
he's
part
of
you
know
we're
teenagers
and
we're
just
talking
he's
listening
to
everything,
even
though
we
don't
think
he's
paying
attention
and
one
of
the
other
girls.
My
group
kept
saying
like.
Oh
that's,
weird,
that's
weird
too
everything
that
was
just
a
little
bit
different
and
it
just
kept
going
and
going.
But
for
us
I
mean
I
was
a
word.
You
say
all
the
time:
it's
a
teenager,
so
it
wasn't
I,
don't
know
I
didn't
I
didn't
catch
up
on
to
it,
but
was
nine
year
old.
He
said
weird.
E
Is
that
what
you
mean
like
something's
different,
and
it
was
really
convicting,
I
think
at
that
point
she
was
really
embarrassed
because
realizing
like
weird
is
not
necessarily
the
same
as
different.
It's
different
and
then
something's
not
quite
right
about
it
or
I'm,
uncomfortable
with
it
being
different
and
for
the
rest
of
the
trip
that
was
probably
I.
E
Think
maybe
our
like
third
or
fourth
day
there
I
didn't
hear
her
say
it
that
much
and
now
we're
a
little
more
tuned
into
that
word,
but
it
was
convicting
in
the
sense,
though,
we
were
seeing
everything
being
different
from
where
we
were
because
it
wasn't
the
same.
You
know
soda
didn't
look
the
same
or
they
had
coca-cola,
but
it
did
not
taste
the
same
anymore,
and
that
was
weird.
E
You
know,
McDonald's
was
weird
and
we
were
trying
to
fit
these
things
in
all
the
different
cities
you
wanted
to
to
fit
back
into
this
mold
that
we
had
in
the
United
States
and
him
saying
that
started
to
make
me
think
a
little
bit
more.
Obviously,
as
a
teenager,
you
don't
learn
that
lesson
completely,
but
it
stuck
with
me
throughout
the
time.
E
You
may
say:
oh
that's
weird,
but
really
it's
that's
different,
but
does
that
spur
you
to
understand
and
to
learn
more
because
it
can
not
only
just
enrich
what
your
experience
is,
but
you
may
choose
now
to
change
the
way
you
do
something
because
it
makes
more
sense.
You
can
connect
to
a
meaning
or
a
purpose
that
you
learned
outside
of
your
own
kind
of
tradition
or
comfort
and
so
anywhere
I've
gone.
You
know
whether
again
in
the
United
States
or
outside,
there's
always
things
that
are
different
and
so
choosing
to
engage
in
it.
E
E
They
think-
and
they
perceive
about
the
world
very
differently,
and
that's
because
we've
all
had
different
experiences
and
as
adults,
we're
supposed
to
know
more.
We
believe
we
do,
but
if
I
would
engage
in
a
conversation
with
the
student
and
try
to
understand
more
and
pose
it
in
that
way,
one
they're
more
confident
because
they
know
their
story
better
than
I
do,
but
they
can
teach
me
a
lot
more
and
that's
the
same
way.
I
try
to
position
myself
with
my
staff
I
work
with
now
to
is
just
to
understand
more.
B
E
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
sharing
that
in
America.
You
know
we're
very
fascinated
with
race
class
sexism
and
when
you
look
at
our
society
now,
especially
with
the
administration,
that's
an
office
now
we
see
a
lot
of
focus
on
race
class
and
sexism
and
words
are
just
you
know
flying
everywhere
on
different
things.
A
You
know
when
it
comes
to
that
history
that
legacy
that
we've
had
in
our
nation
and
when
I
think
about
you
know
the
baggage
that
we
carry
sometimes
as
an
American
citizen
when
we
go
to
other
places
and
I
think
about
your
travels
and
how
you
all
have
traveled.
But
many
people
have
a
different
perception
of
what
American
is
when
I
travel,
they
always
say:
I
thought
all
Americans
were
white
with
blue
eyes
and
blonde
hair.
A
You
know,
and
so,
when
I,
when
I
look
at
you
and
you're
all
different
and
you
know
different
shades
and
you
know-
and
you
have
a
lot
to
bring
to
the
table
and
Abdul
says
something
there.
You
know
earlier.
He
said
you
know,
respect
the
lives
that
other
people
have
and
you
know
and
accept
it.
You
know.
So
you
can
understand
that
wherever
you
go,
you
know
you
have
to
respect
other
people
and
their
cultures
and
their
customs.
Have
you
ever
been
treated
differently
based
off
of
your
race,
your
class
and
your
gender?
A
When
you
walk
when
you
have
been
to
another
country,
because
the
reason
why
I'm
asking
that
question
when
I
went
to
Puerto,
Rico
and
I
was
in
Puerto
Rico
for
two
months,
I
was
the
first
time
I
was
I,
didn't
feel
like
a
black
man.
I
didn't
have
race
was
not
really
something
I
had
to
think
about
right
away
when
I
walked
in
a
room.
So
as
I
sit
here
now
and
I,
look
at
the
three
of
you
who
are
leaders
and
who
our
respect
has
that
ever
had
the
quote.
A
D
I
mean
I'm,
always
aware,
you
know,
I'm,
always
weird,
that
I'm
black
I'm
always
aware
that
I
mean
when
you
go
to
different
places.
I
think
that,
like
you,
you
get
treated
differently
because
a
lot
of
times
the
people
that
you're
interacting
with
are
like
in
service
of
you
yeah.
So
like
they're,
they're
trying
they
know
you're
cheery
or
that's
American,
you
just
we
start
talking
today,
I'm
trying
to
work
for
that
tip.
You
know
all
different
things
like
that,
and
so
I
think
that
but
I'll
tell
you
what
time
I
was
at
home.
D
I
was
in
Dominican
Republic,
another
time
we
went
to
a
cockfight
right
and
so
we're
at
the
cockfight,
and
this
is
like
culturally,
is
there
because
this
is
what
they're
doing,
but,
but
it
was
like
one
of
very
few
times.
I
was
scared
because
we
were
at
the
fight
and
all
the
attention
was
on
us.
Oh
wow,.
B
D
We
were
out
in
the
community,
and
it
was
to
the
point
where,
like
I
heard,
the
guy
work
that
we
were
there.
It
was
like
it's
time
for
us
to
go
because
it
was
too
much
like
we
were
at
a
place,
looks
like
a
it's
like
a
casino
in
a
sense
right,
but
the
instead
of
it
being
playing
workings
table
games
is
chickens
each
other.
That's
the
hope.
So,
but
but
it's
like
you
know,
people
were
drinking.
D
Pee
was
the
same
kind
of
atmosphere
in
a
sense,
and
so
people
were
very
aware
that
we
kind
of
were
tourists
and
it
wasn't
a
place
where
they
had
to
be
nice.
It
wasn't
a
place
where
they
were
they
weren't,
pandering
to
us
all
right.
So
it
was
like
we
were
in
their
environment.
It
was
the
thing
that
was
interesting.
D
One
of
the
one
of
the
guys
from
the
resort
had
invited
us
to
go
there
and
at
the
resort
he
had
on
like
a
bow
tie,
bow
tie
book
right
like
put
together
and
at
this
place,
yeah
like
his
eyes,
were
crazy.
It
was
like
cuz,
he
was
so
fired
up
about
the
fight,
alright,
and
so
you
know
we
made
the
decision
to
leave
and
I
just
felt
like
it
was
at
one
time
where
I
just
felt
like
be
an
American.
D
A
D
B
D
It's
kind
of
like
one
of
those
things
where
I
don't
think
you
should
cut
yourself
off
to
the
world,
but
I
think
you
have
to
be
aware
of
your
surroundings
right.
You
know.
If
you
go
to
certain
places,
maybe
like
when
we
were
in
the
artists
time.
We
all
said:
okay,
we're
gonna
stay
on
the
resort,
because
we
don't
because
we're
not
sure
I,
don't
drink
or
anything
like
that.
Anyways,
but
I
just
feel
like
certain
times.
D
You
have
to
be
smart,
I
mean
oftentimes,
we've
going
on
trips
a
lot
a
lot
of
times.
Our
tribe
will
always
try
with
my
wife
or
I
travel
with
a
larger
group
of
people
and
so
I'm
responsible
for
the
people
that
I
invited
to
come
I'm
responsible
for
my
wife
right
in
a
sense,
and
so
we
don't
want
to
put
ourselves
in
danger.
You
know
so
we
try
to
do
like
you
know
we
do
some
exploring
because
it's
no
fun
to
just
say:
I'm,
gonna,
I
went
to
this
place
and
I
was
gonna
resort.
D
C
C
B
A
C
My
I
grew
up
with
a
fear
of
going
to
Brazil
because
my
great
uncle
was
president
of
Brazil
in
the
60s
and
he
was
ousted
by
coup.
So
wasn't
a
good,
not
a
good
time,
to
have
the
last
name
goulart
in
Brazil,
then,
and
so
my
father
had
me
convinced
that
if
I
ever
went
to
Brazil,
they
were
gonna,
throw
me
in
debtors,
prison
for
back
taxes
and
and
all
kinds
of
other
stuff.
Well,
it
turns
out
that's
not
really
how
the
world
works
and
you.
C
All
kinds
of
stuff,
and-
and
that's
that
is
on
my
to
go
list
because
it's
beautiful
country
have
relatives
I've,
never
met
there.
So
I'm
excited
to
go.
So
that's
that's
my
little
digression
but
but
my
you
know
so
I,
because
my
father
is
a
little
darker.
My
mom's
lighter
and
very
much
so
I
I
look
different
different
times
of
the
year.
It's
summertime
now
so
I'm
very
dark.
C
I
liked
to
wander
then
as
much
as
I
do
now,
so
we
wandered
out
of
the
resort
and
were
you
know,
walking
down
the
street
like
big,
dumb
idiots
and
not
paying
attention
and
I
did
not
have
my
head
on
that
swivel
and
one
of
us
had
a
purse
go
missing
and
I,
don't
think
it
had
anything
to
do
with
anything
other
than
we
looked.
We
looked
different,
you
could
look
at
us
and
you
know
we're
all
wearing
our
sneakers
and
we
all
had
backpacks
and
cameras
around
our
neck
and
liqueurs.
B
C
B
C
You
know,
but
I
would
say
in
general,
I
think
people
of
the
world
are
kind.
We
are
all
really
truly
the
same.
We
all
want
to
be
nice
to
each
other,
because
we
want
people
to
be
nice
to
us.
We
want
to
be
loved,
we
want
to
be
accepted
and
so
I
think
by
and
large
the
overwhelming
majority
of
people
will
be
nice
to
other
people,
regardless
of
what
we
look
like
and
jerks
are
jerks
in
any
country.
So
it
doesn't
matter
what
their
skin
tone
is.
A
E
E
Friends,
French,
but
I
haven't
had
that
experience,
but
I
also
have
been
traveling
out
of
the
country,
have
traveled,
primarily
the
European
or
predominantly
you
know,
white
country.
So
it's
not
I
guess
I
haven't
sensed
that
same
experience
where
maybe
it
would
be
a
little
bit
different
and
I
think
traditionally
it's
coming
from
being
a
woman
as
well.
Traditionally
those
roles
are
very
similar
to
maybe
how
those
roles
are
perceived
in
the
United
States,
so
I,
don't
I,
haven't
felt
treated
different
in
that
way.
Pick.
B
A
Interesting
yeah,
so
when
I
think
about
your
stories,
you
know
the
three
of
you
share
stories
of
international
traveling
and
I
know
some
of
the
audience.
You
know
members
who
are
probably
the
viewers
listening
right
now,
they're,
probably
saying
themselves
well:
I
can't
really
afford
it
right
now.
I
got
my
bills.
I
got
my
my
children,
you
know
the
schools
coming
back,
I
gotta
for
that
and
I
got
my
mortgage.
I
gotta
pay
I'm.
You
know
my
car
no
and
I
got.
A
You
know,
loans,
student
loans,
you
know,
I,
have
a
lot
of
bills
and
as
I
sit
here,
you
know
I
hear
this
from
friends.
Colleagues,
family
members
all
the
time.
So
what
tips
or
resources
would
you
have
for
people
when
it
comes
to
traveling?
So
it's
inexpensive,
and
would
you
recommend
that
they
travel
in
a
large
group
or
a
small
group
or
just
and/or
individually?
A
A
You
know
it's
really
tough
for
me
financially
right
now
that
sounds
great
I
would
love
to
go
to
Machu
Picchu
I
would
love
to
go
right
now,
I'm,
standing,
Resort
I
would
love
to
go
to
France,
but
I
just
cannot
afford
it
my
past,
for
it
that's
$200,
that's
a
lot
of
money
for
me
right
now.
What
tips
would
you
have
for
those
individuals.
E
A
E
I
mean
do
your
research
right
so
over
the
fourth
I
went
to
DC
and
I.
Didn't
really
want
to
spend
a
lot
of
money
and
I
was
kind
of
an
impromptu
trip
too.
So
it
wasn't
like
an
opportunity
to
have
been
saving.
You
know
money
over
time
and
so
I
think
use
your
resources
like
one
it's
in
your
phone,
you
can
google
anything
and
there's
so
many
websites
out
there.
Some
are
good.
Some
are
not.
Some
are
somewhat
helpful.
E
So
if
you
want
to
go
on
a
cruise
or
you
want
to
go
on
a
larger
vacation,
trying
to
figure
out
how
much
it's
going
to
cost,
but
then
you
know
save
for
it
if
you're
someone
that
needs
to
save
for
it
for
two
years,
do
that
for
two
years
and
maybe
take
a
little
trip
in
between.
So
you
don't
feel
like
you're
having
to
wait
for
such
a
long
time.
B
E
Think
that's
helpful
also,
if
you're
really
out
to
be
adventurous.
Bool
Google
has
a
flight
website
too,
so
you
can
just
search
like
even
if
it's
the
dates-
and
you
know
how
long
you're
gonna
go
and
about
how
much
you
want
to
spend
on
flights.
They'll
show
you
a
map
of
the
United
States
and
the
world,
and
you
can
find
out
what
like
where's,
the
cheapest
ticket
price
or,
if
you're
willing
to
spend
a
little
bit
more,
and
this
is
the
region
of
the
world
you
like
to
travel
to
her.
E
This
is
a
region
of
the
United
States.
You
might
just
like
go
somewhere
that
you
want
to
have
anticipated.
Maybe
you
go
to
Cincinnati
or
Cleveland
and
that
wasn't
on
your
top-five
list.
But
then
you
do
the
research
about
interesting
things
to
do
within
your
city,
and
then
you
find
out
a
lot
more
about
it.
E
But
I
think
for
myself
in
doing
that,
just
even
within
the
United
States
I've
learned
a
lot
more
history
that
we're
not
you're
not
taught
all
the
history
of
the
United
States
and
the
history
of
people
here,
but
through
that
travel
and
you're
able
to
learn
a
lot
more
so
I
think
those
sites
are
helpful
and
then
use
your
friends
or
coworkers
ask
some
where
they
go.
How
do
they
get
their
tickets?
A
Thank
you
for
sharing
it
and
I'm
duel.
I
know
you
travel
in
large
groups,
so
you
have
these.
These
big
adventurous
journey
trips
that
you
take.
If
you
like,
dr-
and
I
know
you
got
a
couple
other
ideas,
the
next
couple
of
years,
you
know
is
it
affordable.
Is
it?
Is
it
something
that
people
can
do
if
they
book
and
they
maybe
travel
or
this
is.
D
What
I
think
this
is,
I
think,
about
anybody
who
wants
to
travel
right.
I
think
that
most
people
that
say
they
can't
travel
because
it's
too
expensive
they're
lying
because
most
people
go
out
to
lunch
every
day.
Most
people
buy
shoes
and
get
new
purses
and
go
buy,
suits
and-
and
so
it's
priorities
right.
It's
like
what
do
I
really
want
to
do
and
I
mean
people
that
they
like
to
go
to
the
club
and
they
buy
a
bottle
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff
right.
D
D
Like
my
brother,
my
brother
met
his
wife
in
Brazil
Wow,
and
so
it's
kind
of
like
one
of
those
things
where
I
believe
that
sometimes
you
need
a
friend
or
somebody
like.
If
you
know
somebody
in
your
group,
that's
doing
something
it
makes
you
say
like
well.
If
he
can
do
it,
and
so,
like
so
iswhat
I
thought
my
brother
and
my
brothers
went
and
I'm
like
the
oldest,
so
I'm
kind
of
like
and
so
now,
I
feel
like
home.
You
know
and
and
and
I
think
the
trips
that
we
do
like
you
know.
D
Last
year
we
went
to
Colombia
right,
and
you
know,
and
so
like
this
year,
we're
going
to
Costa
Rica,
and
so
some
of
the
guys
that
went
on
a
trip
had
never
been
out
of
the
country,
so
I
going
on
a
trip.
What
it
does
is
it
you're
gonna,
be
with
a
group,
you're
gonna
be
what
people
that
have
traveled
before
and
so
and
I
think.
Another
great
thing
to
do
is
go
on
a
cruise,
because.
B
D
C
C
B
B
C
Then
go
drink
and
go
dancing
and
also
I
I
liked
those
intimate
smaller
experiences
that
you
get
sometimes
with
two
or
three
people,
but
also
two
I
would
say:
I
guess
if
I
wanted
to
catch
phrase,
it
don't
be
afraid
of
riding
in
the
middle
seat.
So
it
may
not
be
your
perfect
ticket.
You
might
have
to
fly
out
of
a
little
bit
further
Airport
it.
You
might
have
a
connection
or
maybe
even
two
connections
in
order
to
keep
the
flight
affordable.
B
C
Don't
be
afraid
to
step
outside
your
comfort
zone
and
do
those
things
because
you
might
have
a
really
awesome
experience
and
maybe
it's
a
pain
in
the
vine
and
don't
do
it
next
time,
but
but
maybe
you
really
really
like
it
and
and
as
far
as
like
a
straight
up
travel
tip
brand
loyalty
for
me,
I
have
found
is,
is
sometimes
you
know
you
might
spend
an
extra.
You
know
ten
fifteen
dollars
on
that
hotel
room
to
stay
with
Hilton
versus
Marriott
and
I'm,
not
endorsing
one
over
the
other.
B
C
Use
you
will
build
up
points
much
much
more
quickly,
that
you
can
redeem
for
free
things
than
if
you're
spreading
it
around
for
whoever's
cheapest,
and
sometimes
it
is
about
that
exact
bottom
line,
and
you
know
that
that
$20
is
going
to
you
put
gas
in
the
rental
car
for
the
few
days
while
you're
there
right,
you
know,
but
but
really
be
judicious
with
where
you
spend
your
money
as
well,
because
those
loyalty
points
you
know,
I
mean
to
get
a
free
hotel
room.
That's
a
big
deal.
B
C
B
B
E
E
I
think
those
things
are
important
and
just
asking
around
asking
people
who
who
I
think
who
are
working
at
the
places
versus
people
are
also
tourists
around
you
there
about,
maybe
not
gonna,
know
but
I
think
another
thing
I,
don't
know
if
you
gonna
ask
this
question,
but
just
really
knowing
like
what
Katz
said.
Do
you
like
to
travel
in
large
groups
of
people
or
do
you
not
because
there's
lots
of
packages
and
different
things?
E
I
had
friends
that
just
went
to
Europe
and
they
decided
because
she
was
a
huge
planner,
but
it
was
stressing
her
out
to
plan
all
these
little
details
and
parts
of
the
trip.
So
she
started
looking
for
a
group
traveling
that
group
travel
group.
That
would
essentially
do
the
same
types
of
things
so
that
stress
of
all
the
detail,
things
were
kind
of
out,
but
they
still
had
the
room
during
the
days
to
explore
other
components
that
they
wanted
to
see
or
other
things
they
wanted
to
see.
E
But
that
was
helpful
for
them
to
find
that
and
then
they
enjoyed
that
time
with
the
other
people.
But
other
people
don't
like
to
travel
with
large
groups
and
when
you're
in
a
big
group
of
people-
and
you
have
to
do
kind
of
what
the
group
does,
that
can
be
really
challenging,
especially
if
you're
more
of
an
independent
person
who,
like
so
I've,
done
that
research
ahead
of
time
and
has
other
things.
I
want
to
do.
I.
A
A
In
the
DRN
you
know,
I
go
to
the
hotel
and
I'm
at
the
hotel
and
I'm
feeling
good
I'm
feeling
comfortable,
but
I
want
to
explore
because
I
watched
this
show-
and
you
know
now-
I
feel
comfortable
to
explore
so
I
go
to
I
speak
to
one
of
those.
You
know
individuals
that
work
there
and
I
say:
hey
you
know.
Can
you
show
me
exactly?
You
know
where
is
a
good
place
to
eat
around
here
and
they
say
yeah
I
want
to
connect
you
to
my
buddy
and
my
buddies.
Gonna.
A
B
A
And
if
you
are
in
the
dangerous
situation
before,
because
something
can
happen
and
I'm
not
saying
that
people
should
avoid
asking
questions
or
anything
like
that,
but
what
are
some
other
tips
you
can
help?
You
know
people
navigate
through
those
situations,
those
those
situations
are
occurring
when
people
are
traveling,
so
you.
D
Oh
yeah
yeah
agree
with
you
and
it
you
got
to
keep
your
head
on
a
swivel.
You
got
to
be
smarter.
Later
I
mean
it's
really.
It's
really
like
I
feel
like
like
everybody,
has
a
sixth
sense
mm-hmm,
and
so
it's
like
you.
We
wanted
to
go
to
the
cockfight,
but
it's
just
once
we
got
there.
We
just
said
this
is
no
I,
don't
feel
safe
right
now,
and
so,
when
I
minute
I
don't
feel
safe.
D
I'm
like
telling
the
rest
of
the
people
we
gotta
go
I'm,
not
I,
don't
know
you
guys
might
feel
safe,
but
I
don't
feel
safe,
so
we're
leaving
and
so
I
think
that
often
times
you
know
it's
just
being
aware
of
your
environment.
Sometimes
you
I
mean
trust.
Me
I've
been
in
many
places
where
we
were
literally
in
the
community
with
the
people
and
the
people
were
great
and
and
then
I
feel,
like
that's
some
of
the
best
experience
a
lot
of
times.
D
B
D
Feel,
like
you
know
like
sometimes
the
trip
is
like
you,
you
want
to
see
something
new,
something
different.
You
know
and
we
went
to
Costa
Rica
one
time
and
then
we
went.
We
went
to
like
a
hike
to
the
waterfall
and
it's
a
beautiful
waterfall.
Like
that's
the
picture,
you
want
to
take,
not
the
one
in
your
your
your
villa.
It's.
D
So
I
just
feel
like
you
know,
then
there
should
be
an
interest
in
really
experiencing
the
culture
and
the
people
and
stuff,
but
I
think
that
you
always
and
even
if
it's
not
like
somebody's
gonna
attack,
you
they
they
might
steal
your
purse.
It's
a
real
headache
to
have
to
get
a
new
purse,
get
a
new
passport,
get
a
new
wallet,
and
so
that's
what
you're
really
trying
to
avoid
I
mean
I,
know
that,
like
you
said
every
day
in
America
things
happen.
Okay,
good
and
I.
D
Think
that
that's
the
other
piece
to
remember
is
that
things
have
things
happen
here,
a
lot
more
than
some
of
these
other
countries.
You
know
it's
like
major
news
when
it's
happening
over
there,
because
typically
they
the
countries
want
us
to
come
to
them,
especially
like
the
Caribbean
and
all
those
different
places,
because
that's
we're
like
we
make
their
economy,
and
so
it's
like
they're,
not
trying
to
hurt
anybody,
because
if
you
make
it
where
people
don't
feel
safe
to
come,
then
that
kills
everything
that
your
honor
works,
so
I
I.
Think
mostly
you
know.
D
A
That's
well
said:
yeah
and
Cass
says
something
earlier.
She
said,
don't
be
afraid
to
step
out
of
your
comfort
zone
and
when
I
think
about
that
I
think
about
you
know
all
of
you
and
where
do
you
what's
the
next
place
you
see
yourself
traveling
to
and
why
the
next
place
that
you
really
see
yourself
going.
You
know
by
the
end
of
2019,
you
know
a
place
that
you
really
really
want
to
go.
I'm.
D
A
C
C
Brazil,
for
me,
is
really
where
I
want
to
go
and
I
would
love
to
do
that
as
soon
as
possible.
There's
really
a
lot
going
on
down
there
and
we've
got
a
lot
going
on
here
and
it
is
a
place.
I
have
always
wanted
to
go.
I
have
some
my
fourth
or
fifth
distant
cousin
that
I
talk
to
all
the
time.
He
speaks
no
English
and
I
speak
very
little.
Portuguese
cuz
I
was
a
bad
granddaughter
and
did
not
let
my
grandmother.
C
And
but
I
want
to
meet
him
and
I
want
I
want
to
meet
this
family
that
I've
never
met
and
see
all
the
things
I've
never
seen
and
see
one
of
the
seven
wonders
of
the
world
that
is
right,
but
I
want
to
see
things
not
through
my
TV,
not
on
my
phone
I
want
to
see
with
my
eyes
and
remember:
oh
that's
where
I
want
to
go.
Thank
you.
C
E
Like
to
go,
I
haven't
been
to
any
of
the
islands
in
the
Caribbean,
so
I
think
that's
where
thank
you
for
the
end
of
the
year,
maybe
as
it
gets
towards
the
end
of
the
year
and
it's
colder
to
be
able
to
go
down
there.
Hurricane
season
is
done,
but
that's
somewhere
that
I'd
like
to
go
I
heard.
Dr,
is
really
nice.
A
So
you
know,
as
we
close
out
you
know,
because
we
were
coming
to
the
closing
of
this.
You
know
in
this
panel
discussion
and
I'm.
Looking
at
the
three
of
you
right
now
and
I
know
you
are
avid
travelers,
you
know,
that's,
that's
your
passion,
that's
your
desire!
So
when
I
think
about
the
next
five,
you
did
five
years.
You
know
because
each
one
of
you
have
your
goals.
A
You
know
where
are
some
places
that
you
definitely
want
to
travel
in
the
next
five
years
and
also,
if
you
can
leave
the
listeners,
there's
something
that
you
live
by
as
well
like
something
that's
deeply
deep-seated
within
your
heart
that
you
continue
to
push
forward.
Like
me,
you
said
earlier,
you
know,
don't
be
afraid
to
step
out
of
your
comfort
zone.
E
A
D
Machu
Picchu
in
Peru
I've
been
there
Chichen
Itza
in
Mexico
I've
been
there.
I
haven't
been
to
the
Coliseum
and
roll
I
haven't
been
to
Christ
Redeemer
in
Brazil,
I
haven't
been
in
etosha
Mahal
in
India
I've
been
to
the
Great
Wall
of
China.
I
will
tell
people
the
best
pizza
I've
ever
had
in
my
life,
the
best
behind
and
China.
It
was
a
China
if
you
eat
Chinese
food
for
seven
days
straight
yeah.
D
The
last
place
is
Petra
in
Jordan
and
that's
it.
If
you
go
to
Petra
in
Jordan,
yeah
do
not
go
to
the
monastery.
You
see
the
Treasury
go
back.
Just
remember,
I
said
that's
a
little!
That's
the
tribal
hit!
Ten,
oh
and
then
my
advice,
of
course,
is
never
stop
dreaming.
You
got
to
you
got
to
chase
your
dreams.
D
C
C
Letters
from
when
my
grandfather
was
off
to
war
in
World
War,
two
over
in
Europe
and
in
all
the
letters
he
would
say
where
he
was
and
what
he
was
doing
and
he
had
they
they
were
I
mean
bring
you
to
tears,
beautiful,
and
so,
when
I
read
this
I
sort
of
had
me
the
snap
decision
in
my
mind,
if
I
want
to
go
to
all
these
places,
I
want
to.
You
know
that
not
maybe
find
the
exact
fence
post
that
my
grandfather
sat
against
and
you
know
to
see
goats
out
in
the
field.
C
But
you
know
to
kind
of
relive
that
experience.
I
thought
would
be
really
really
awesome
and
a
nice
tribute
to
them.
So
I
want
to
go
to
you
know,
maybe
places
they've
been
before,
but
the
you
know
the
cities
that
are
on
there
and
there
were
some
cities
in
France
and
Germany
and
I'm
said
Europe
in
England
and
Italy
and
Portugal
because
he's
from
there
and
it
just
was.
C
C
C
The
universe
will
serve
you,
what
it
serves
you,
and
so,
if
you
get
stuck
in
the
middle
seat
or
you
get
grounded
on,
you
know,
because
of
a
thunderstorm
and
an
airport
somewhere,
enjoy
the
experience
and
step
out
of
a
tree
a
step
out
of
your
comfort
zone.
Talk
to
the
stranger
next
to
you,
smile
at
the
child
that
is
screaming
its
head
off
and
driving
you
crazy,
because
maybe
they
just
need
someone
to
be
nice,
so
really
just
surrender
to
that
experience
enjoy
where
you're
at
and
I
think
well
in
general.
A
Much
I
just
want
to
say,
I
think
the
three
of
you
for
dedicating
your
time.
I
have
a
lot
of
respect
for
the
three
of
you
and
you
have
inspired
me
tonight
to
want
to
continue
to
step
out
of
my
comfort
zone
and
continue
traveling
as
well
and
I
also
wanted
to
say.
Thank
you
to
my
mom
as
well,
because
my
mother
inspired
me
to
do
this.
This
particular
discussion
because
I
remember
when
I
was
younger.
When
I
was
like
eight
years
old,
my
mom
used
to
say:
okay,
Kevin
and
Kaitlyn.
A
That's
my
brother
and
she
would
say
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
money,
but
let's
get
in
the
car
and
we're
gonna
just
drive
in
New
York
and
we
wouldn't
go
to
New
York
and
we
wouldn't
have
any
money
or
anything,
but
we
would
just
walk
around
and
she
to
say
you
have
to
look
around
and
enjoy
it.
Because
you
see
life
is
a
lot
different,
not
everyone
lives,
the
same
way
and
those
experiences,
and
that
exposure
helped
me
to
appreciate
people
and
help
me
to
appreciate
different
communities
as
well.
A
So
when
I
sit
here
and
I
stand
here
today
and
I
think
about
what
all
the
