By Gabrielle Webster It is hard to pinpoint the origins of my wanderlust, yet from a young age, I have dreamed of traveling the world. I was born in Houston in the early 90's - a first generation American. My parents met years before in Kingston, Jamaica, the capital of the underdeveloped island nation. I distinctly recall flipping through old photos capturing palm trees and pavement, and yearning to visit what my father called the "concrete jungle". As I began reading books describing far off lands, my urge to travel grew. The introduction of the internet, putting the world at the end of my fingertips, sealed my fate - I wanted to be a global citizen. As an undergraduate, I came to learn that thinking globally was a large asset in the business world. So no matter what stage of your career you are in, it is never too late to get abroad.
