Notes: It's Saturday and I don't have to be anywhere! I am in the midst of planning for a business trip to Dubai and am very excited to learn about yet another culture.
In all of my conversations with my host sponsor who will accompany me on my trip, he has spent considerable time reassuring me that the people of Dubai and Saudi Arabia are really kind people and that I should not necessarily believe everything that I read! My host was quick to remind me that 'they have places like Chicago' too, but we will not be visiting those places' he quipped!
This put everything into perspective.....especially when I learned that my host, when traveling in downtown Iowa, checked with the front desk at the hotel to determine if it was safe to walk outside! Really?? This is Des Moines, the safest place on the planet, I chuckled.
I think the lesson I am reflecting on is that fear is common when places we visit are unknown or when we fail to study other cultures or understand the differences.... And there are truly scary places everywhere....However, most of the places we visit, the cultures we experience and the treks that we take, lead us to amazing eye opening realizations, that people are generally good and kind everywhere and only once in a while do we come across negative experiences, but they are few and far between.
I choose to be a wanderlust and seek out the good in people and places!
