Why Traveling Will Always Encapsulate My Soul

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.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
