"Go. Live your dream"

21
My Passion to Travel
Slava Bowman

Growing up, I never wanted my fears and disadvantages to hold me back from my dreams. I always wanted to travel the world, but it was scary to go out there. Thankfully, I was able to conquer my fears, hop on a plane and go. After that first experience of traveling, I have realized that I will not let my fears set me back from what I want the most in life.

In 2014, I just graduated from high school, and my dad took me to Spain and Ireland. We were in Spain for most of the week, but took a short 2 day trip to Ireland. The whole week was full of new adventures and awesome memories. I flew on a plane, rode on a train, rode on a subway, and got to experience a cab ride all for the first time. I was able to see things that I had only seen in my Spanish textbook. This trip to Spain and Ireland was what helped form my passion to travel the world. Being able to see new cultures was completely eye opening.

This photo above was taken in Segovia, Spain. The photo doesn't do the breathtaking view justice.

The picture above was taken in Dublin, Ireland. The peacefulness of this country had me never wanting to leave.

This trip opened my eyes to the beautiful world around me. Instead of being stuck in the same place my whole life, I want to experience more than Indiana. I cannot wait to see more of the world and live my dreams.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
