my lense is really simple: I travel there to see and learn. 😂

Amazing how few use the real world as their primary lens.

so that I would have fewer biases or prejudices, like a baby with a fresh eye to see how things really are instead of what is told how's there.

This fake world of the Internet is often more real to people that the actual world and the people around them. The digital is rarely like the real. Most people I know and interact with (a broad range) are nothing like the stupidity online. Don't get me wrong, I see the world very differently from most of them but what we are told to be reality is most often complete nonsense.

yes, that's why traveling is good if you want to see what's really happening out there, but then it takes more work if you want to see the real part of any place, e.g., most big cities are almost the same these days; let's say in Turkey, once you step outside of Istanbul is completely different and so much better, yet only a few are exploring.
