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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
