Business Badgers Who ... Live to Travel
“Travel broadens my perspective and provides great insights into human nature. This greatly aids me in communication with my client base. Interesting conversation topics always revolve around travel experiences.”
—Karl Kramer (BBA ’85)
“Travel does several things that I love: It satisfies my curiosity; it broadens my understanding of history, people, and of nature; it puts me in new situations that challenge my usual assumptions; and it inspires my imagination. Whenever I return from a great trip, I feel I come home a different and in many ways a better person because of the additional understanding that I have gained in the process of travel.”
—James Nathan (BBA ’66, JD ’69)
“I enjoyed working with companies that provided opportunities to travel. The experience helped secure new ideas that were helpful back at office. Through travel, you are always learning.”
—Linda Phillips
(BBA ’66)
“I think being ‘worldly’ makes one more understanding of diversity; even if your business doesn’t have you interacting with colleagues, clients, or vendors all over the world, each business partner just down the hall is unique and being world-traveled helps in working with anyone and everyone. Plus it builds empathy and fosters creativity.”
—Kimberly Cozza (BBA ’01)
“I have a wonderful job that has afforded me the opportunity to travel all around the world. I never miss the opportunity to extend a business trip into the weekend so I can leverage some personal exploring during my own time. My favorite place to travel is someplace I haven’t been before! My absolute favorite cities are Dublin, London, Munich, and Delhi.”
—Bill Kofahl (MBA ’07)
