Traveling The World Will Change Your Life

The best investment in life is traveling.

Traveling The World Will Change Your Life

I know that I am not the only one who dreams of traveling the world! I could say that I have been dreaming of traveling since I was a little girl. I want to see new places, eat new cuisine, learn about new cultures, and meet new people. It is amazing to know that this world is so big with so many different kinds of people out there. I know I will travel the world sometime in the future, or I might end up deciding to take a trip next month! Sometimes I wonder if I will travel alone, or with my future love (which would be amazing).

Sharing new experiences with someone you love would be an awesome experience, but doing some travel alone wouldn’t be bad either. It would be the perfect time to think and reconnect with yourself.

Every place in this world has a story, every city holds a myth, every culture has their art work.
I want to walk where Jesus walked (Jerusalem), I want to see the pyramids (Egypt), I want to go kiss someone special in “El Callejon Del Beso” (Guanajuato, Mexico) or go see Aurora Borealis(Alaska, U.S.). I just want to get to know every place. I want to know the stories within its buildings and people

I have been blessed to travel around some places within the U.S. and Mexico. My first plane ride was when I was two years old. I went to Mexico City from Omaha, Nebraska. You can say my family kinda started my dream of traveling. I remember getting on planes every summer and just thinking, I could go anywhere in the world, and to this day I hop on a plane and still have the same thought. Recently, I have been able to afford to travel on my own, and I have learned that the best investment anyone could make is travel time.

I could honestly waste $400 on a brand new hot pink Michael Kors bag (and the excitement of having that bag would be gone within a month) OR I could spend $400 or more on a travel experience and those memories and excitement would last a lifetime. I can for sure guarantee you that my future investments will go into traveling. The best advice I could give you is to travel now that you can, and if you know you have the money. Enjoy life, live to the fullest; make memories that will for sure make you smile every time you look back.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
