25 Days of the Unpopular: Traveling

My parents put me on a plane to Europe when I was one year old (they accompanied me of course). I think that's where my obsession with airports and planes and traveling began. And it only got worse when we moved to Belgium. I absolutely love traveling. It is one of my favorite things in the world and I wish I could hop on a plane at any given second and fly to wherever I wanted to. But that's not how life works is it!?!? *adjusts footie pajamas*

It's easy to sit at home every day and go through the daily routine of life, and for a lot of people that's what makes them happy. For others, mostly the restless ones like me, it's boring to be in one place for a long time. When I first started college and had to move myself into a puny, cave-resembling room, I was a little freaked out. I have to live in this town, seeing the same things and people every day for four years. That was just me being over-dramatic, it's really not bad at all! But I have an urge to travel, to see new areas of the world, and to immerse myself into different cultures. The two top places I want to go to next are India and Greece. And Japan. And Botswana. And Morocco. Just everywhere! And I already know I'm retiring in the countryside of Northern England.



I personally think that there is nothing better than having the ability to explore new places. Aren't you curious as to what's happening on the other side of the globe, in a third-world country? And how the people there live compared to us in the United States? I hope I'm not the only one who thinks this way!!!! *eats entire pumpkin pie*

"Travel. As much as you can. As far as you can. As long as you can. Life's not meant to be lived in one place."
