Culture shapes our perspectives in how we view the world, the values, and beliefs we hold. While immersing into this experience and building connections, Taya hopes to create dialog to learn how individuals around the world view their purpose in life, and how culture shapes the pursuit for fulfillment. She anticipates the diversity of perspective and exposure to global experience will grow her understanding of the world, and build appreciation towards diversity in values, beliefs, and culture. Her itinerary includes Japan, South Korea, China, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Egypt, Morocco and Bhutan.
