Dear friends who are willing to travel,

I need you now more than ever. I have this captivating urge to roam, wanderlust if you will. A desire to explore and see the world in ways my geography teacher can’t teach me and the Discovery Channel can’t show me. I want to feel the Hawaiian breeze on my face rather than the breeze from the open classroom window and wake up to the sun in some far away land instead of to the harsh sound of my phone alarm.

I want to backpack through Europe and swim with the dolphins all while learning to leave my worries at home. I’d like to have my passport full instead of memories that are empty and wouldn’t mind taking the tacky, but lovable pic holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

I want to eat new food and meet new people and see a world that is completely different from the one I know and I want to see what it feels like to experience the world in its magnificent beauty.

I want to travel. I NEED to travel. So, my friend, this is where you come in because I can’t do this alone and I’m not sure I’d want to. Forget about your internships and summer classes and let this Earth be who you work for and the classroom in which you learn. Save up some money, pack your bags, and LET’S GO because the world is waiting for us.

Sincerely,

Your Wanderlust Friend
