Mini-Ep 490: Lucky In Living

Well, Elise, before we take a break, we do have a note from a listener that relates to the trip that Ava recently took.

Oh.

Oh, okay.

Um, so this listener wrote, "I've been listening to your podcast since 2020 and love it.

The chill, casual, but informative vibes you give off are super entertaining.

I just got caught up with the newer episodes and was so surprised to come across the one of Elise's daughter visiting Lima and Machu Picchu as I am Peruvian."

Aw.

"It's not often I hear about my country in a podcast, so thanks for mentioning the story.

Peru, with all its issues, is a beautiful place, especially the Andes, rainforest, and beaches.

Your daughter might be too young to appreciate this trip now, but in time she will.

I visited these ruins w- twice as a kid and took it for granted, as I now realize how lucky I was to have one of the Seven Wonders of the World in my own country.

As tired as I was when hiking it, I remember admiring its beauty and feeling a magical energy there.

It really is like no other.

I wish for all parents to show their kids good values and important life lessons, and I think this form of traveling is one way to do so.

I've never learned more about the world and its people than in those rural/adventurous trips, and I'm forever grateful to my parents for these experiences.

If you have the means, expose your kids to the rest of the world and help them learn about how others live.

Traveling and meeting new people, seeing new places and cultures is so educational and rewarding.

And if you can't, at least show them via a documentary, book, have conversations.

Help them value and not take for granted what they have.

I'm sure your daughter learned so much during her trip.

I truly hope she enjoyed her time in Peru and that she cherishes this experience as she grows up."

That's so lovely.

What a nice note.

Thank you for writing in.

Thank you so much.
