“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
― Mark Twain
In 7 days, I will travel from Bismarck, North Dakota to Rarotonga, in the Cook Islands, a journey of roughly 5973.8 miles. I am going on a volunteer vacation with Global Volunteers, a type of travel known as "voluntourism". I will spend two weeks there volunteering in a variety of school and museum libraries. I must work 40 hours per week, but my evenings and weekends are my own for travel and exploration.
Looking forward to hearing about the food and of course the libraries there.
