What if travelling could do more than take you to beautiful places? What if it could actually make you a better human being? From Dutch directness to Brazilian flirting, and from cultural misunderstandings to unexpected everyday discoveries, travelling constantly challenges the way we see the world. In this talk, Sławomir Subocz explores how stepping outside our comfort zones and immersing ourselves in unfamiliar cultures can help us develop empathy, challenge assumptions, and become more open-minded. Combining personal travel stories, humour, and scientific insights, he introduces a simple but powerful idea: adventure is a form of empathy training. Because the greatest thing you can bring back from an adventure isn't a souvenir. It's a new perspective.
