February 16, 2026: The Breadstick Problem

Where will you explore next?

Travel is more than luxury, it’s an education. Think of travel costs as tuition and the memories as degrees.

So, here’s a fun pop quiz. Do you know how many cities are in the world? Go ahead and guess.

It’s actually surprising…

Officially, there are over 50,000 cities.

Let that number stretch your imagination. Even if you somehow visited 10% of those, there would still still be forty-five thousand locations waiting, with each one showcasing unfamiliar accents, new rhythms, interesting ways to cook food or greet a neighbor or celebrate a birthday.

The planet is less like a map and more like a library with fifty thousand unopened books. Or how about this — the world is a giant buffet and many people have only sampled the breadsticks.

Get out there and explore. Stop nibbling and start feasting.
