Cancun: A Short Story

What laid in my hand was my literal golden ticket to the world. This small, flimsy card could take me anywhere I wished to go to in New York City but I didn’t enjoy this privilege all my life. I grew up in a neighborhood where my family and I didn’t need to travel far for a doctor’s checkup or a grocery run. My whole world consisted of a few streets in Brooklyn. Unfortunately, my parents could neither drive nor afford many rides on our MetroCard. I had seen places like the Empire State Building and Central Park merely in pictures so the inner adventurer in me yearned to see what was outside Brooklyn.

Stepping out of my first plane ride, I experience an epiphany of new culture, which seems to me as a whole new world. Buzzing around my ears are conversations in an unfamiliar language that intrigues me. It then struck me that after twenty hours of a seemingly perpetual plane ride that I finally arrived in The United States of America, a country full of new opportunities. It was this moment that I realized how diverse and big this world is. This is the story of my new life in America.

Through the immersion of one in a variety of physical environments, the manipulation of genre, form and perspective presents a polysemic representation of a diverse range of landscapes, in turn allowing responders to develop complex understandings into the human psyche. Specifically, through the interwoven utilization of complex allusions and personalized outlooks Alain De Botton’s The Art Of Travel shapes humanities greater knowledge of traveling’s impact on the human behavior and perception. Likewise, this notion is extended amongst Kenneth Slessor’s minimalistic, poetic piece North Country in which the composer highlights man’s dichotomous relationship with the physical world, and how ongoing, differentiated experiences cultivate interpersonal growth and develop individualized standpoints towards the wider globe. Consequently, both texts elicit portrayals of innumerable landscapes, which foreground the intricacies of civilization through the construction of a piece that reveals the subjectivity of our human mentalities today.

There are the tourists—those who seek temporary relaxation, or famous sights. There are the travelers—those who wander, without aim, for the love of moving. There are the explorers—those seeking adventure, the thrill of unearthing things rarely seen.

What makes traveling to foreign lands such a coveted and memorable experience? What does one get out of exploring new cultures and atmospheres? In “The Shock of Teapots,” by Cynthia Ozick, the quality and nature of traveling and travelers themselves is explored. Within this work of creative nonfiction, Ozick strategically uses genre, diction, and exemplification to effectively emphasize that travelers see ordinary things in a new light when visiting other places and countries.

Throughout history, the progressions of mankind has given way to a perpetually globalizing world. Globalization, the “process of interaction and integration among peoples of different nations, has strengthened human ties while our race has formed societies in every corner of the globe. As our world becomes more interconnected, the resulting blend of cultures has led numerous societal features to be shared between peoples, blurring cultural division lines. Globalization’s tying binds may frustrate many modern travelers seeking unique and special travel experiences due to the standardization of destinations resulting from increasingly cozy international social relations, but continued and extensive human travel has demonstrated that the essential human urge to move is a product of our search for fulfillment in what is unfamiliar and will not be suppressed by global interconnection.

I am drawn to the thought that vacationing is a way of making everlasting memories, in addition to encountering many diverse cultures around the world.

One vacation option to consider is Cancun Mexico, where visitors get to experience a different culture, experience mouth dropping views, and do many types of things. According to Mexico, a World of Its Own, ‘’Cancun has it all for travelers looking to have the vacation of their life.’’ Families that go and visit Cancun can experience jungle tours where people can drive their own speedboat to snorkel on a section of the largest coral reef. Visitors can also experience zip lining where people can go on the highest and longest zip lines that go deep into the jungle. People can also swim with dolphins and the dolphins can give handshakes, give people kisses, and people give them kisses back. One more thing that people can do in Cancun is dead sea

Cancun is truly a standout tourist destination. This sparkling Mexican Caribbean hotspot boasts endless beaches, gorgeous weather, a thrilling nightlife, and abundant accommodation options.

The weekend of October 20th will be a forever memory that I was glad to be a part of, with great friends and especially with that gorgeous thang by my side. Congratulations to Zack and Jessie, the happy newlyweds living the Forbes life in Cancun, will be one for the books! Also, celebrating my boy Grant and his Jordan birthday year with a little Fifth Harmony, Happy Birthday brother! Laughing always with our Sunday Funday group to wrap it up with a little corn maze and posting on the Facebook app at the gassy Blind Pig!

Have you ever wanted to have the best time of your life, floating underground and exploring under the sea? Many people associate Cancun with simply being a resort-and-club destination, unaware of its beautiful lagoon, coral reefs and other great sites. I’m here to tell you about my experience in Cancun, exploring some of its most beautiful eco-archeological wonders. Swimming underground?

The famous wizard Gandalf once said to the simpleton Bilbo Baggins, “home is now behind you. The world is ahead.” A similar thing was said to me in 2016 when I left for the adventure of a lifetime to Australia and New Zealand. Prior to this trip, I had never even traveled without my parents abroad. Like Bilbo, I never liked to do anything unexpected or out of my comfort zone. I expected my favorite part of the trip to be touring the Sydney Opera House or feeding baby kangaroos in the wildlife sanctuary. However, the most memorable part of the entire trip happened in New Zealand while visiting Hobbiton, on the movie set of my two favorite movie trilogies: The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Standing at the entrance to the Shire caused me to

Surround yourself in Caribbean turquoise and become one with the ocean during our Cancun deep sea fishing expedition! Feel the breeze change as our boat leaves Nichupte Lagoon and enters the Caribbean Sea. After you've approached the coast of Isla Mujeres and caught a glimpse of this quaint island, prepare to start your fishing adventure. You'll be trolling for smaller bait fish as our experienced crew monitors the waters, moving the boat toward spots where live bait abounds. Then, the trolling portion continues for about 1 hour as the boat heads east toward open waters. At that point, it's just you, the ocean, your fishing pole, and the deep sea fish ready to eat your live bait. Everything happens under the supervision of our crew, who will

As my eyes lit up like the fourth of July, I stood with my feet stuck to the ground, and my nerves tingle with happiness because of how marvelous it was. I didn't know a Mexico resort could be so nice.

The idea of traveling to a new country to explore different types of cultures has the ability to be a very exciting experience. From the abundance of new sights to see and food to taste, one can become caught up in all the hustle and bustle of locals. While exposure to an unfamiliar place is thrilling, one’s abrupt immersion into a completely foreign country tends to prove rather exhausting when it comes to beginning a completely new life. This quick change of pace from a familiar environment to, what feels like, another planet can be quite overwhelming. The theme of displacement while abroad, specifically in Paris, is evident in Jean Rhys’ novel Good Morning, Midnight and Joanna Walsh’s novel Vertigo. Rhys and Walsh both illustrate novels
