In my humble opinion, I think that everyone should travel a little bit in their life. I'm not talking like transcontinental travel necessarily. I realize that many people don't have the means or opportunity to go abroad and that's perfectly fine. I am in the same exact boat as you. When I say travel, I am also talking about experiences and finding new things. So everyone should travel a little bit in their life, overseas, across the border, across the country, across the state, or even around your hometown. Do something that you have not done before and have that experience. Take pictures and bring friends. Make it an adventure. But most importantly, make memories.You never know what you are missing if you stay in one spot for the rest of your life.

Thank you to the place I never thought I would visit. The place that was not on a list of possible vacation spots. The place that was a spur of the moment agreement. The place that I did not know I loved until I saw it with my own eyes.

Thank you for showing me what I've been missing. I now want to see what else I have not had the pleasure to see in this world. I want to explore and adventure, whether it be closer to home or further away. I want to see what else you have to offer because I could only spend so much time with you. Ultimately, I have a limited amount of time on this beautiful planet and I want to see all of it, or as much as I possibly can.

Thank you for being my home as I visited. I don't usually get homesick, but when I was visiting, I was perfectly at ease. I was at home, I was at peace.

Thank you for giving me a case of wanderlust. I might be changed by what you have taught me. My spirit for what is out there has intensified. I'm no longer content with staying where I am. I want to get out and see everything. I won't stop because if I'm not moving and changing, then I'm falling behind. I can not remain stagnant. I can not stay content with being the same.

Thank you for the memories and thank you for being hard to leave behind. You might have been the first place to spark the traveling bug inside of me, but I will definitely never forget you. The pictures I took will have a permanent place in my camera roll and Instagram account. The memories, permanently etched in my brain.

Hopefully, I will see you soon.

Thanks a bunch,

A Newfound Adventurer
