Ever since I was little, I've loved traveling to different parts of the world. My fondness of traveling was exposed at a young age, and I am so thankful for that. From Egypt, to Macchu Picchu in Peru, my traveling experiences have taught me that traveling is not just about the destination you find yourself in, but in how you explore these destinations. There is, indeed, an art to exploring; an art that I continue to find in each destination I go to.
The art to exploring is open to interpretation. Everyone experiences a different sensation when he or she travels abroad. Whether, it is going to the other parts of the world, or next door to the state that borders your state.
Exploring is always in you!
At first, traveling can be a scary, intense, and major culture shock to those that have never gone more than a couple of days away from their home. My biggest advice to those people: relax and breathe! Traveling holds some of the worlds most ancient stories, artifacts, political and historical information for today's history books. It would be a waste to never take in that history if fear is what holds us back.
I admit to having anxiety about going to different places, but once I land in the state, country, or island I intended on going to, a whole new level of emotion and curiosity crosses me. It is amazing how something as small as landing from a plane can already get you attracted to the destination.
My family has just begun a love for travel in the last four year. It could be that when my siblings and I were younger, traveling never crosses our minds as interesting, fun, or amusing. Our summer vacations were revolved around swimming pools and friends. Now, we get the heck out of Vegas, and into the abyss of the unknown! One taste of adventure will spark your desire to visit as many more states or countries this Earth has to offer.
The world is a big place, but it is small enough for humans to experience all of it, one way or another!
Now -- pack your bags, book a ticket, and explore!
