Now, I don't regularly travel.
Most of the summers I've had consisted of me doing absolutely nothing and being bored out of my mind. Last summer was the first time I traveled to Japan by myself. My Dad is in the Marines and is stationed in Okinawa, Japan. He asked me if I wanted to go again this summer, and of course I do! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and also the last time my Dad will probably be stationed in Japan. The first time I went to Japan was so beautiful and surreal. I got to experience so many new things. Thier entire culture was so different. Definitely a culture shock, but actually it didn't bother me. Thier way of life was so cute and beautiful. I definitely missed it when I left.
Besides going to Japan, we're also going to take a trip to Thailand! I am so grateful to have the opportunity to travel again and especially to a new place. My Dad and my stepmom also planned out another surprise trip that they have yet to tell me! This is absolutely wonderful. My whole life I never traveled and getting chances like this is amazing.
I'll be gone for about a month which is a bit longer than last time. Of course, I'll miss everyone back at home but I'll be sure to bring back gifts for everyone. If anyone is reading this that knows me, I'll be back in Texas on the 24th of June and spend the rest of my summer in Austin!
Everyone have a great summer! And look forward to some articles on my travels!
