A short YouTube conversation between Donald Burns and a guest about the value of world travel—especially traveling with children—to expand consciousness and teach gratitude. The guest recounts an impromptu trip to Colombia where her son observed local living standards, leading him to express gratitude and greater understanding of global economic differences.
One of the things I'm proud of you to do, I think it's a beautiful thing, too, is I always say world travel. Expand your consciousness, expand your mind, and let you see things and also let you appreciate things that you might take for granted that other people in other countries, I mean, for them, that's like. That would be like a luxury, like having water sometimes, you know, having a toilet inside is like a luxury. So I'm always impressed how you always take them on trips to different countries.
So we have one rule, other than cruise boats, because we also enjoy cruises, that wherever we go, we won't repeat the same place. So we will like. I. My goal is, as long as he's under my wing, to show him as much as everything that I can show my son, you know, and most recently, we took an impromptu trip to Columbia.
Love Columbia.
It was so cool, Donald. But I think, you know, the takeaway also was my son was so thankful and expressed so much thankfulness and just really understanding, you know, some of these people. They're not even making $10 a day. A day, you know, and we're not talking about children. We're talking about grown adults. And I think, you know, because there was a significant ratio difference from, you know, Colombian pesos to the dollar. And Alex really now is at the age where he's older and he can understand what that translates to and lifestyle and etc. So to see Colombia through his eyes and his thoughts this time was, like, very interesting for me.
That's so cool.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
