Reasons I Want To Travel

I want to meet people that I will probably never see again.

Reasons I Want To Travel
Alexander Estmo

I want to travel the world. I want to go places I can only imagine and have adventures in lands I've never seen. I want to try new things and make the most out of my life. I want to look back and say, "I can't believe I did that". I want to meet people that I will probably never see again and make friends with people I'll always know. I want to dance all night. I want to camp out under the stars and watch fire dance in the night. I want to hear the blaring of horns on the streets of Manhattan. I want to see the fogs of London. I want to taste the finest of wines and the freshest of beers. I want to learn cuisine from locals and be apart of the culture if just for one day. I want to go to the tallest buildings and look over the cities. I want to stand on the largest peaks and look out at the world. I want to see sunrises and sunsets over mountains and seas and buildings.

I want to swim in every ocean and lay on every beach. I want to swim with sharks and see dauphins. I want to dive with professionals and discover shipwrecks. I want to see lions and tigers. I want to see elephants. I want to go skydiving and bungee jumping. I want to go ziplining. I want to learn to sail and surf the waves. I want to go kayaking and paddle boarding. I want to go white water rafting. I want go to the wildest parts of nature and the busiest parts of cities. I want to be able to wake up in one place and by that night be in a completely different location. I want to learn languages from the locals. I want to be apart of their culture. I want to find solitude and peace in the quiet of an empty beach or the top of a deserted building or at the top of a lonely mountain edge. I want to find knowledge in the people I meet and the places I see. I want to gain wisdom from my mistakes. I want to help others and pray with them. I want to wake up one day and be old and gray and tell my grandchildren about my travels. When they finally lay me to rest I want to be at peace with the knowledge that I did exactly what I wanted to do with my life and I have no regrets.

When I travel I want it to change me for the better. I want my experiences to make me wiser and more diverse. I want to learn the ways of the world. I want to be a more understanding person and more adapted to people's way and grow more tolerant. The oceans I'll travel and places I'll see will be the topper to the experiences I have and the friends I'll make. I want to take a piece of each place with me as I leave and know it will always be with me no matter what.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
