Bhutan 

Many may say that traveling in Asia has a certain trend that runs throughout all experiences. A mindset of collectivist cultures, loads of rice and beautiful scenery overclouded by a smidgen of polluted air. (Okay, quite a bit of polluted air) I have been exposed to many courses developing my ability to remain culturally competent and adaptable throughout my academic journey yet remained aloof to what I was about to experience as I prepared to depart for the beautiful Bhutan. So I invite you to sit back, find your cup of coffee, tea, soda on the rocks or whatever your palate so pleases and take this journey with me as I delve deep into experiences and lessons learned from being immersed within the culture and environment of this exquisite country. Preparing ourselves to take this journey demands shaking off every preconceived idea or stereotyped perception and allowing open mindedness to become reality.
