Traveling-- it’s something I’ve always loved and adored every since I was young. It’s both liberating and freeing of the mind, soul, and spirit. It’s something I hold dear to me and that I’ll never let go.

No matter where you go on this Earth, there is so much to see-- the lands, sights, views, cafes, shops, stores, culture, people-- the Earth has it all. It is up to you to open it up as much as possible. Remember, not every four corners of a box is the same. You must learn to find the little differences of the land with every step you take.

There’s nothing like seeing a fresh, new landscape. Whether it be the mountains, the beach, a river, a lake, the plains, a new city-- the opportunities are truly endless. You never know what you are going to run into, right around the corner. Take in every possible sight you can, and, even bring a camera or phone in terms of memory sake.

Shops and stores all around the world are different, unique, and cute, too. With the opening of the doors of any store, you will be blown away by the amount of culture that exists in one of them. I believe that by walking into any shop or store, you get to learn a lot about certain people and cultures that live in that part of the world. It’s truly remarkable.

Every culture, as you probably know, is different around the world. The languages, foods, people, and ways of life are all going to be different, no matter where you go around the world. Traveling is truly mind-opening. You get to see so much that you have always wanted to see and the things that you never even knew existed. It’ll make you question, “What is normal?” By the end of your trip, you may even realize that you’re not normal and no one’s normal and that’s perfectly normal in my book.

The different people around the world are pretty cool, too. In fact, they are quite fascinating. From the way they dress, talk, walk; their sense of mannerism; and a general sense of habitual and societal habits and status-- everyone around the world is truly unique. And by traveling the world, us travelers can play our own, individual part, too. We can show the world, and a specific culture, that we are unique, and that there is more to life than what they already know. They may have the land, food, and language. But, as tourists, the littlest signs of differences make it all.

Traveling truly opens the mind. It’s a magnificent experience and something that everyone should experience. Remember, it’s never too late to travel and see what this world has to offer. Not every place is for everyone; and once you find your place in life, I think that’s pretty great, too. So go ahead. Take a stroll. Let traveling encapsulate your soul.

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good.

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.
