Description:

Overarching Significance- Exploration and travel is something that is extremely important to millennials. We live in an age where “wanderlust” (wanderlust is the desire to travel) is something highly fetishized amongst teenagers. We have developed a mindset where we would all like to be more independent and more open minded. Many adolescents hope to expand their knowledge of other cultures and broaden their understanding of human nature itself. What better way to do that than physically going out and seeing it in your world? As residents of Mount Dora, somewhere considered to be a “small town,” the need to see more of the world is prevalent. Living in such a small area, it is sometimes difficult to think about the vastness of world, and one can easily be overwhelmed by this. We hope to encourage others to embrace this, rather than fall into the confinement of the small town mindset. Afterall, Mount Dora is a tourist hub. We constantly hold festivals downtown, and people come from far and wide to experience the quaintness of the historic art area. This archive has the potential to be valuable to historians, as it explores the attitude of this generation, as well as where Americans can travel during this time. Are there still travel restrictions in certain destinations? Is it safe to travel to certain places? Furthermore, this archive provides educational articles, and can be used as a resource for those looking to travel in the near future.
