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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
