Hidden gems, when found, stir excitement on another level and shift our perspective irrevocably through their uniqueness. They take us deeper, whether that means showing us the beauty of this world through new ways or speaking to people who widen and enhance our wisdom and viewpoints or sometimes, they are just purely exhilarating and push us out of our comfort zones and we can’t believe how lucky we are to have found that place, person or adventure. Hidden gems become etched in your mind forever. They are the experiences and people you can so vividly recall when others blur into the background.
