Traveling can be a great way to break out of a rut and gain fresh perspective on life.Getting lost in a good book while on a long train ride is one of my favorite things to do while traveling.

Some of the best travel memories come from unexpected encounters and chance meetings with locals.Sampling the local craft beer scene is a great way to get a taste of a destination's culture.
