Traveling
I have always had a desire to travel ever since I was little. My dream is to travel the world one day and it is one of my goals in life. We are only on this earth for a short amount of time so I want to venture out and see things I have never seen before. There are so many different cultures, religions, lifestyles and people out in the world. There are so many sights to be seen and languages to be heard. I want to experience and see the beauty of the differences with my own eyes. I have only traveled to close states around North Carolina and I want to be able to cross the country. I have been out of the country one time to the Dominican Republic. When I was in Boone, North Carolina one day, then Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic this was when I realized how much I truly wanted to travel. The people of the Dominican had a completely different world than me. To see a lifestyle so different from mine truly opened my eyes. I knew I wanted to then see how many different lifestyles and cultures there were out there. The sights were completely different. There were nothing but gravel roads and tin sheds used as homes. It was such a dramatic change for me to see. I can not wait to be able to see the world and the various sights, cultures and lifestyles that are out there.

ReplyDeleteHaving grown up in South America and being exposed to a different culture at such a young age I have been left with this same desire to travel. I feel so blessed with each new opportunity to travel outside of the US. What you said is so true about having your eyes opened to this different way of life. I honestly think its something that everyone should get a chance to experience in their lifetime. I think we get so accustomed to our way of life here in America that we forget how privileged we are and forget how massive the world really is.
ReplyDeleteOur world really is small in the US, and it is nice to extend those boundaries a bit by reading books like Little Princes or watching documentaries-- way better than not thinking about the global scene at all. Yet, actually seeing it for one's self is the only way to truly comprehend the diversity of cultures and perceptions across the globe.
