5 Experiences You Must Have While Traveling

I just got back from an amazing 7 day Disney cruise, and I honestly cannot wait to go back. I had never been on a cruise of any type, so this was a completely new experience for myself and my brother! Our journey began at Disney's Castaway island then we went to the Grand Cayman, Cozumel, and back to Castaway. Throughout this trip, I experienced things that I had never done before in my life and thus showed me the importance of traveling and exploring what the world has to offer.

1. Food

I am very open to trying new things when it comes to food, and the cruise was a perfect place to do so! I had a variety of different types of seafood that was so fresh and mouthwatering, and on the plus side, it is very healthy! In Cozumel, I got to try some amazing chicken tacos that were authentic to Cozumel with homemade tortillas made right at the front of the restaurant. Traveling is a great way to give your taste buds something else to experience and most of the time you want to go back for more!

2. Excursions

Excursions are very important when it comes to any type of travel because it allows you to explore the area and what it has to offer with its sights. We got to go snorkeling in Grand Cayman and scuba diving in Cozumel. And with those amazing experiences, I got to swim in the crystal blue waters and see all of the amazing wildlife!

After going scuba diving now I want to go and get my scuba diving license so that I can travel around the world and go diving! That excursion in Cozumel opened me up to a new experience that could potentially be done across the globe! Another thing to add to my hobbies!

3. Meeting New People

Traveling puts you in situations where you are meeting people from across the globe and from many different cultures. With that, you meet many amazing people that can become friends for life, and that means you can travel together or meet up somewhere else on another trip! Every night of our cruise we had an assigned table.

We had a family from Canada that sat with us every night, and it was very interesting to get to know them and a little bit about Canada! Also, we got to know our waiter and the staff very well, and this also made for a great time at dinner every night.

4. Being With Family And Friends

Vacation is usually taken with family or friends or both! It is important while on vacation to get your alone time (much needed). Many times while we are on vacation some of us do our own thing and then we meet up later or not. The meaning of vacation is that you do what you want and enjoying your time on your vacation!

5. Thinking About Your Next Vacation

While on vacation you will probably be pondering where you want to go next. Many people plan their next vacation as soon as their current one ends (we do)! With all of the experiences that you had on your vacation, this may sway what you want to do on your next vacation. However, I encourage you to try new things and find new experiences! There is so much to see in so little time, and that is why it is so important that we experience as much as possible!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
