I have been spending the last few days as follows: swimming laps(see last post), catching up on season 3 of Teen Wolf and packing my suitcase. Tomorrow is the big day. I get on a plane to head to The Lone Star State (a.k.a. Texas). I'm traveling with my youth group from church and I will return next Sunday. Two reasons I'm letting you know. One, I wont be posting another article until then. Two, I wanted to talk about traveling.
Overall, I absolutely love traveling! There is nothing better than seeing the sights and being immersed into new cultures. As a child my family did a ton of traveling. Every year we ventured somewhere new. Whether it was Spring, Summer, Thanksgiving or Winter Break we would all pack into the car or all rush off to the airport and vacation all over the world including Key West, Alabama, Maryland, New Mexico, NYC, Colorado, Chicago, California, and Germany. So basically I was born a traveler. The experiences were different everywhere we went. We stayed in five-star hotels, motels, and family friends' homes. Personally I enjoyed strutting down the streets of the Big Apple to touring the adobe houses of Native Americans but both activities made me into a cultured girl. Honestly I don't mind living out of a suitcase or long car rides or flight delays. It is all worth it to be able to have experiences that mold you and create memories that last a lifetime (not to sound too cliché). I've grown up with the thought that it's better to spend you time, money, and effort into experiences rather than things because everything you do changes you. I find it so cool that when I hear about unique destinations I can say, "I've been there, I've done that," or I can say, "I will go there, I will do that."
As I head to Texas new adventures await, and memories are to be made. On that note, I hope everyone has a splendid vacation and safe travels.
