I wish I could travel abroad more myself. Heck there are whole states in the US I have never been too.

I was lucky enough to study abroad in the UK for about 6months back in the 80's. That was GREAT because you had the time to not only do some traveling, but actually sit in class with people who were not Americans and get to know them and what made them tick. Seeing natural and manmade wonders is fun and exciting, but it pales compared to interacting with people who have different(sometimes radically different) points of view and to do that on their 'turf' not mine.

There were only a few of us studying abroad in those days, now it is a requirement for your degree at my alma mater. That's a good thing.
