I Choose The Travel Life

"While some people choose to live a 9 to 5 life with family ties and dinner on the table every night, I choose to travel."

I Choose The Travel Life
Tanisha Camille Knutzen

You could say that I’m wanderer, a drifter or even a dreamer and while I may agree that those things are all true, I would also say, that I’m just your average girl living her life.

I’m just this person, who has always had this itch to be where I’m not, a strong desire to travel or as the wonderful world wide web likes to call it, wanderlust. If I were to ever categorize myself, I would place myself here, with all the other travelers, who have no intention of adulting in the real world. While some people choose to live a 9-5 life with family ties and dinner on the table every night, I choose to travel. I choose a life of uncertainty and adventure. A cloud nine, kinda life where sitting still is not an option.

I think one of the most beautiful things about living a life that truly allows you to spread your wings is meeting like-minded people. It’s this little community of people, who have all come together to break the rules of society, to live without borders in places where our feet get to dance as freely as they wish. We cross oceans, language barriers and cultural differences to end up in a place where we all have one thing in common, traveling.

I choose to travel because I want to see people for who they really are and not for our stereotypical views of how they might be. I don’t know about you but this is the kind of world I wish we would all find ourselves living in. A place where the color of your skin has no relevance, your language tongue is what makes you beautiful and unique to the person standing beside you and where you come from is merely just an added bonus to who you are.

Winnie the Pooh, that cute little bear once said,

“You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.”

And while he might just be a silly little bear, who gets his head stuck in jars of honey, on the regular, he has a valid point. A point that we should all listen to and take to heart because like I’ve always said in the past, the world was never made this big for me to just stay in place forever.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
