This is the motto of our tour guide Ryan. He also challenges us to try and be travellers rather than tourists. Tourists take a zillion photos and complain about everything. Travellers immerse themselves in other cultures and put themselves out there.
To be honest, I'm finding it hard to immerse myself in American culture. Bottomless sodas the size of my head? Not bad, just different. Highways with holes in them? Not bad, just different. Fatty food and seedy Spanish men? Not bad, just different.
On the flipside, with San Diego being right on the Mexican border, I am enjoying vast amounts of authentic Mexican food.
