University of Travel:
In Episode 1, Aakanksha highlighted the concept of “Truth” and how it is not an absolute concept but immensely subjective, shaped by people’s unique environments.
“Travelling has taught me that truth is not a singular, universal concept but a spectrum of perspectives. What is considered right or beautiful in one culture can be completely foreign to another,” she said. “It’s important to recognize that while our truths come from our background and beliefs, there’s no single “correct” truth. (MOSTLY). As travelers, our role is not to adopt or judge these different truths but to respect them.”
As a fun fact, Aakanksha added that this concept was so important to her that she got it tattooed on her arm.
