Readers response: What’s the most unexpected thing you’ve learned about yourself through travel?

We asked our readers what the most unexpected thing they've learned about themselves is through travel, and the response was overwhelming. Here's what they said.

Penny Corbin - I don't need the cathedrals, monuments, the tours, I just love walking in the space and finding my own beauty wherever it leads me.

Dom Cimino - That I really love meeting people of all backgrounds.

Jenny Halkett - To treat it as an adventure, and don’t be afraid to ask a qualified person for advice.

Kristeen Collison - That I’m more adventurous than I thought.

Angie Jansen - That I love it. Just new places, culture, food, history, the wonderful people, the adventures you have and the memories, it’s the experiencing new things and learning, exploring, being amazed. Just so grateful I can still do it.

Palma Hemer - To have a sense of humour, rain hail or shine.

Anne Jenkin - That I can enjoy the travel by myself but I do like meeting new people on these trips.
