I'm currently in Anchorage, Alaska, lesson planning for an improv class I am to teach for TBA, a theater company here.

I had just driven 4061 miles with two friends on an improv and filming trip.

I have a tendency to be long winded, but today I'll try to keep it brief:

If you get the chance in your art practice, travel.

Scratch that. Look for every chance you can in your art practice to travel.

This isn't just (or even primarily) about bringing your art to new and broader horizons. It's about experiencing new places, absorbing new cultures, imbibing new people. It's about expanding your own personal horizons.

I already feel I have grown and changed in the week since we left on this road trip. I know his teaching experience will allow me to grow even further.

Travel. Do it. As much and as frequently as possible.
