Journeys that have Shaped my Perspective | Genevieve Treves | TEDxHartland Intl School

Travel is presented as more than a break from responsibilities and exams. The talk, given at TEDxHartland International School in Dubai, argues that each journey, including walks through the historic streets of a foreign city, teaches something that gradually shapes a person's outlook.

• Travel as a break from worries and everyday pressures
• Learning from walking through historic streets in foreign cities
• Personal growth built piece by piece through each journey

Traveling. A time when we let go of responsibilities and worries, and allow ourselves to simply do what we love. A time when exams don't weigh us down, and we can truly live in the moment. But while all of this is true, travel is also something more. With every journey, every step on the ancient, history- filled streets in a foreign city, we learn something new-something that slowly shapes who we are, like pieces of a jigsaw coming together.
