I haven’t traveled a lot, but I love it. When you travel, you feel like you’re not stuck in where you live anymore. It feels good to wake up in somewhere else besides of your bedroom. You greet the morning with an unusual sight in somewhere you’re not familiar with. You wake up to explore more about that place you’re at, and you can learn something new even from the littlest thing. You encounter people that you don’t know. Everything can happen when you travel and you have to be ready. Sometimes you finally get to know more about yourself or people that you’re traveling with that you never noticed before. You come back home with a whole new experience and knowledge, not just pictures and stories to tell people about. There’s much more than that.
I don’t think that you have to travel so far away from where you live to feel the experience. There might be a lot of places around your town that you haven’t explored. I’ve always wanted to explore towns around where I live because honestly, I don’t really go out a lot. That could be an adventure, too! That’s just the way you see it. I’ll have two weeks off from school and I’m not going to travel so far away for now. I realize that just around here there are soooo many places I’ve never been to. So I’m planning to go to the Old Town (I’ve been there, but didn’t have enough time. I want more!) and the Old Harbor. I also feel like taking a train ride to somewhere. I have so many plans for my breaks, and I’m more than excited.
I’ve heard and/or read so many stories of people going backpacking throughout a continent or even the world, and they just make me want to do it. I have so many places/countries I want to visit, if I could I’d travel the world. Heh, I won’t mind if I had to stay in a hostel or whatever, accommodation-wise. Some of place/countries I want to visit someday are Nepal, India, New Zealand, Norway, Turkey, South Africa… I could go on forever! But honestly, I want to travel the world. Haha. But before that I hope I’d get a chance to explore my country first, there are a lot of places of interests I haven’t visited. I’ve only been in a road-trip once around Java, and very few provinces outside Java.
What do you think about traveling, and what are countries or places you want to visit one day?
