Episode Notes

Consider this mental experiment for a moment. When you stand outside in your own town, histories, incidents, observations, all rush through your mind creating a feeling of nostalgia, romance, anger, indifference, or maybe sadness. Combined with the familiarity of the place you have a pretty good idea what your place is about and how you fit in it. Offshore Explorer gives you a primer about ports and the people so you will have a deeper understanding of their place.

When you travel and see places for the first time. The effect is they jar your perceptions and shape your observations, creating a kind of clarity. Experiencing places also can reinforce your ideas and personal philosophies. If you are looking for something in yourself, the journey will help you discover it.
