Haley January Eckels is an up and coming travel writer based out of New Hampshire. On the topic of how it feels being immersed in a foreign culture, she writes "One can never be truly immersed in a foreign culture. It is our "otherness" that makes travel the enlightening experience that we enjoy. We like feeling unique, out of place, slightly uncomfortable, and seeing the world through our cultural lens. That's the whole point. No matter how long you live in a place, you're always a reflection of your upbringing, your nationality, your culture."
