My Top 4 Favorite Places I’ve Ever Travelled

I love traveling, so here's my experience!

1. Yellowstone National Park

On this trip, my family and I traveled to 4 new states: Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, and Montana. All of these places were absolutely beautiful and everywhere you went you saw huge open fields with huge mountains in every direction. Traveling out west was definitely much different than any other trip I've ever taken. Everyone here was so friendly and outgoing. Many people who lived here were farmers and owned lots of cattle. While traveling through Idaho on the highway, both sides were just surrounded by horses and cows. Going into Yellowstone was absolutely breathtaking, and there was so much to see. Not only were the mountains beautiful, the wildlife and hot springs were also a sight to see.

2. Nashville, Tennessee

If you know me well enough, you know that I love country music. Nashville is the perfect place to go if you love country music. There is so much to do in this small city. The Grand Ole Opry is definitely a place you should check out, even if you don't listen to country music. It's a very small venue where artists come to perform and it's recorded as a radio show. The Opry is always full of surprises so you never know who will show up to perform! I was fortunate enough to see Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts, and their surprise guest, Blake Shelton! Nashville is also an amazing place for new and rising artists. People from all over the world come to play at restaurants in downtown Nashville, so there is always great live music everywhere you go!

3. Outer Banks, North Carolina

The OBX (Outer Banks) is a beautiful strip of beaches located in North Carolina. These beaches are very long, and you often see people driving their cars on them. It was always so easy to pack for the beach, because you could pack up your car and park right at the top of the beach. Often times the waves would be pretty big, big enough to boogie board or body surf. The OBX is a beautiful and relaxing place to go. If you like wildlife, you will also always see wild horses walking up and down roads, or running down the beaches.

4. New Smyrna Beach, Florida:

This year, I traveled down to Florida with one of my sisters, and my grandmother. We went and visited our cousins who live in Longwood, and then we went for a few days and stayed on New Smyrna Beach. This beach was very quiet and relaxing. Florida, as we know, gets very hot, but the ocean stays cool enough to swim in comfortably. This beach is perfect for long walks, and sunset watching. Sometimes, you can even see dolphins in the water, or sea turtles migrating towards the water after just being hatched!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
