Just a little tangent from this blog, I will be able to cross off Iceland from my list this coming summer. I will be going with Mrs. Rakos on the senior class trip and I am super excited not only because it is a beautiful place, but because that was the last place my grandmother visited before she passed away, so in a way it will be sharing a part of her life through my eyes.
Anyway, I think traveling is something that is very helpful when it comes to my personal health. I also find it really fun to budget for these trips and I enjoy planning them.
Now, do not tell my boyfriend, but I have started saving for a trip for us to take to South Dakota. I really want to travel to all 50 states, so I get to see South Dakota and my boyfriend gets to go on his dream hunting trip. I am planning to have saved up enough by the time he graduates college, because I am hoping to have this trip be a graduation present.
I think the ability to witness different lifestyles, different cultures, and gorgeous landscapes is something that nobody can teach in a classroom. I love traveling so much so that I am hoping to get a job that requires some traveling or at least good vacation benefits.
In summary, I encourage everyone to really enjoy the trips they take because it is so different than everyday life and it creates everlasting memories! So get your suitcase and your bathing suit (Or winter coat) and travel!
I really love to travel too. I find it suffocating staying in one place for too long, and I really love taking in new experiences and sights that I have never been exposed to before. Travelling the world is one of my ultimate goals in life, and I would really like to visit as many countries as possible before I die. There are so many things to learn about other people and our lives as humans that you will never truly be able to understand by living your own repetitive life at home. I hope both of your trips go well!
ReplyDeleteI love travelling. The main reason I had a great summer this year is because I got to travel more than I usually do. I agree that seeing new landscapes, cultures, and lifestyles is something that is extremely valuable. Travelling can create experiences for you that change who you are. Being exposed to different parts of the world changes the way you view it. Like you mentioned earlier, that viewpoint is not something you can get from school.
