"Oh," said Giovanni, "nobody likes to travel, especially not women."

I would have to disagree with Giovanni and his belief here. It seems like any time the mention of traveling abroad comes up, almost everyone here at Richmond lists off all the places they have been to already. I think I'm right to assume that at least part of the reason we go on these trips is because of the enjoyment we get from going to see more of the world than what we grew up around, as well as seeing the places we have only heard of before. It's a completely different learning experience between reading about something like the Colosseum and actually walking around inside of it. This is also why Richmond seems to push studying abroad for its students at some point during our four years here. Travel is a great way to enrich our education and get a different and better perspective on many things, why wouldn't someone like to travel?
