I learned a variety of new things from the researching process of my project particularly from a video I found on Craig Kielburger's travelling experience to third world countries. He went to South Asia to learn about child poverty and how children are treated there. From that short video, it visually showed me the impacts of travel. That event in his life shaped who he has become, a humanitarian and an activist. He is the co-founder of the very large charity, Free The Children and also the Me to We enterprise. The video was an eye opening experience to all of the things out there when one travels. We easily take the smallest things to granted however in some countries where there's nothing, they put great value on the smallest things. Travel and new cultures can really enhance your outlook on life and broaden your horizons. The challenge I faced was not finding that one perfect answer since this question was quite open ended and it varied person to person. Next time I would spend time on watching a handful of videos because the one that I saw and used for my presentation was very good and it taught me more than even some websites. I feel that travel and cultures has also shaped my life by giving me an identity. Travelling to different places is an eye opener which has taught me the value of where I live. As for my identity, I have become more open to change and open minded in learning new things such as languages, or about cultural beliefs. I would like to continue to explore more in depth of how different cultures can specifically change ones identity.From this I have become interested in religion, if I had to develop a new question it would have to be how do different religions and define us and how do they help us to come together as one?

| An example of someone who was impacted by travelling is Craig Kielburger. He wanted to "free the children" who were working in poor circumstances, that is why he became an activist to aid children and to create global awareness about child labour. |
