When Traveling Has Your Heart

When Traveling Has Your Heart
Caleigh Shaw

Traveling is one of the most beautiful things that we are able to do. We can pretty much do whatever we want and go wherever we want. If we want to go to the same area over and over again, we can do so. If we want to constantly go to different place, we can. Traveling has always been something I have loved to do, and I'm one of those people that love going somewhere new. The problem is that I haven't been able to go where I want to go, and because of this, my love for adventure makes me do all sorts of things.

Watch travel vlogs.

I'm subscribed to a few people on YouTube, and with their sponsorships with Contiki, a travel group for young adults, I have seen a few YouTubers go to some of the most beautiful places of the world. This led me to following FunForLouis (Louis Cole), who vlogs every day of his life and seems to constantly be somewhere new and RayaWasHere (Raya Encheva), who posts weekly videos on life advice and her frequent adventures. Watching travel vlogs helps my love for travel become bigger and bigger, and they always keep me inspired. A couple of Louis' recent vlogs made me want to travel to several places in Peru and not just Machu Pichu. I instantly fell in love.

Have a travel Pinterest board.

Pinterest may be known as DIY central and helpful for weddings and other things, but it also has great infographics on traveling in specific countries and traveling in general. There are also thousands of pictures of some of the most amazing aspects that the world offers. I have learned so many things about traveling that I can remember about through the use of my travel board on Pinterest!

3. Plan, plan, plan.

These two things combined have helped me want to start all kinds of things. As a writer, being a travel writer is a beautiful combination of the two things I love to do: travel and write. I also want to study abroad on a program where I can actually learn about travel writing. Also on my list is to start creating itineraries for places and start a blog or become a vlogger. I will definitely have to save up for a nice camera!

Through these things my love for travel will never go away, and it only makes me want to save up for my next adventure!

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
