How Experiencing New Cultures Can Change Your Home Environment
/Right now is an amazing time to be alive! Look around and open your eyes and be grateful to live in such a wonderful age of advancement, where almost anything you dream you can have. No really – it’s possible! The technology that is among us, has made touching and seeing the world a certainty we must simply take action to realize.
Thanks to @arianapierce (IG), in the last few years I’ve had the opportunity to travel and see more than ever. It’s amazing the countries, cultures, experiences and places to discover. I’ve seen shanty towns in India where people live under blue tarps, exotic homes and yachts along the Amalfi Coast and Positano Italy, and ultimate luxury that can only come from Dubai just to name a few. Check out @arianapierce Instagram page for more information on places to travel. She designs amazing adventures for her clients and I’m proud to be one of them.

These experiences have ultimately shaped me as a person, expanded my mindset, improved what I thought about my capacity to achieve, and caused me to stop and be grateful. They’ve also caused me to return to my home and bring a new fervor to decorate and organize with a global touch. Not to mention an attempt at a few new recipes to duplicate that amazing flavor I tasted in Italy!
I’m sure I don’t have to list out why travel is so important, but I do want to highlight how experiencing new cultures can improve your home:
Venice, Italy
1. Expand decorating ideas – from color schemes to patterns, to actually bringing back original pieces and letting that bohemian look soar!
2. Meet the locals and engage in conversations to learn secrets of keeping a home in that country #firsthandfacts
3. Bolster your mindset to think bigger – your family will thank you for it!
4. Learn new ways of healthy living – some locally grown spices and ingredients can become a healing agent – stay abreast of local laws and regulations if you want to return home with purchased goods
5. Bored with your own cooking? After a few meals you’ll discover tons of recipes to delight
6. Gives you a global perspective and keen intelligence
7. Allows you to raise globally minded children, especially if they travel with you
8. Get away from the hustle and bustle and daily grind
9. Relieve stress and anxiety that could be plaguing your sleep and overall health
10. Become the life of the next dinner party with stories that will blow everyone’s mind
No matter what, look at your place of abode and take it to a higher level. Whether you have a 10,000 square foot home or share a 1,000 square foot apartment; organization and beauty can be displayed in any setting. I encourage you to book a flight or gas up your car to go, see, experience and let it reshape your reality!
