My Friend Uploaded A Post On Facebook And It Got Me Contemplating

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.

Humans whether we admit to it or not are all connected through a set of universal ideals; that stand the test of time and bind the world together by its core ideas. We as humans desire and crave the same thing, however not all of are willing to chase after that desire. The inability to attain the one thing we all at are core crave has caused us to divert to a passive lifestyle. Humans by nature want to experience new things and to interact with one another. We have built a connective transportation system capable of getting people anywhere on the planet, yet so few of us use it for its intended purpose. Traveling to new destinations allows us to experience how the rest of the world lives and broadens our perspective on a global scale. Just

Stepping out of your comfort zone isn't always easy, especially in a foreign setting. In my life, traveling has not only been a means of seeing new places, but gathering exposure to cultures that have led to a greater understanding of different and opposing beliefs that exist throughout the world. On my recent trip to Europe, I acquired knowledge of cultures that I could not even begin to comprehend had I not experienced it first hand. Experiencing circumstances on foreign grounds taught me that the area in which we live in can truly cultivate us into who we are and what we believe.

Travel for some people is a way to get from point A to point B, but for me, it’s an awakening of the senses. It’s my opportunity to hear the bustling sounds of a city, smell the fragrant spices at a local market and watch a glowing sunset dip below the horizon.

“… The pleasure we derive from journeys is perhaps dependent more on the mindset with which we travel than on the destination we travel to. If only we could apply a traveling mindset to our own locals, we might find places becoming no less interesting than the high mountain passes and butterfly-filled jungles...” (Alain de Botton 62) In the essay “On Habit”, Alain de Button observes that people have become accustomed to only viewing a new environment as a spectacular view and thrilling experience, rather than treating our own towns, which we see everyday, with the same humility and receptivity.

This is what the airplane in my mandala represents. Traveling is something i wish i could do the rest of my life. I have been to Roatan, Honduras, Mexico, Jamaica, Bahamas. Roatan was my favorite place of them all. I wish i would have never come back and i want to move there and live in my dad's beach house. A couple places i want to go are africa, bora bora, and italy. When i graduate high school i plan to take a year off before going to college and moving to another country. This way i can learn another country's culture and live and work how they do in that country. I really would like to be an exchange student but my parents don't approve. There are so many opportunities and things i can do for traveling i just have to graduate

One of the most common ambitions of a person is to travel the world and see what differs from their own environment. Many people find traveling as exciting or even adventurous. However, can traveling really have an everlasting effect on a person’s life to make it exciting or adventurous? No, because a traveler does not really understand what they are seeing. Seeing a new environment does not just make you an expert of that landscape. In the essay, “On Habit,” by de Botton, he states, “On entering a new space, our sensitivity is directed towards a number of elements, which we gradually reduce in line with the function we find for the space.” [63]. De Botton is claiming that a traveler only sees a certain aspect of that environment, not the environment

Just being in those four places makes me want to see the whole world and that makes me eager. I want to see the world and meet other people, learn their culture and try different things. This is a goal that is important to me because I would get a chance to discover another state, country, the whole world is out there! I want to connect and understand different cultures. If I continue to pursue this career this could affect my life by providing me with a professional job, money and travels. This job would be truly pursuing my happiness and I know I would make my family proud and

Ever since I was young, I loved to read and the places that books and my imagination could carry me. I also adored traveling to new places and exploring both the historical and natural sites my family would take my brother and I to. But I dreamed of traveling around the world, to new places, cultures and people, as my parents often told us of when they had spent a year in England and lived on a canal boat. I strived for any chance to go abroad so when my grandparents decided to take a trip back to Lithuania, I asked to go along. Unfortunately, my grandfather had a heart attack and the trip was cancelled while he recovered. Later, one of my closest cousins took a post-graduate trip abroad through the Rotary Youth Exchange Program, deferring her

The ability to travel anywhere, whether it is in your own country, or to another place abroad, is a privilege that is sometimes hard for others to accept. Being able to travel can often teach you more than a job, relationship, or a lecture ever will, which is contrary to popular belief. Likewise, it is also most certainly a gift to have the ability to experience the wonders of the outside world. However, there are many people out there who feel that they are not in the position to be able to travel due to various reasons. Reasons such as politics between countries and simply being able to afford traveling are some of the main issues. Authors Natalie Thomas and Hannah Peterson, both addresses the positive reasons of why people should travel. Whereas, Lisa van Beurden and Oneika Raymond comment on the limitations of traveling.

Sitting in my room here in Denmark and looking out at the grey clouds and few sunbeams from the sky. It reminds me of the student trip with my class a few weeks ago. To travel from a place to another is somehow always special for me. I think it is interesting that I can go into a plane and some hours later I am a new place. Sometimes the destination is very different from the one I came from. This time it was Dublin who had called me. Actually, not only me but my whole class and belonging teachers. To travel alone or with someone has a lot to say about the trip, I think. If you travelled the exact same place, time and destination but once by yourself and another time with someone, it would almost be to different trips if you ask me. In my eyes that is very beautiful and of significance to remember. In other words, it can give you a wide perspective on travelling, yourself but also life in general.

Travel has long been known as one of the most direct and visual ways to feed the soul. An opportunity to escape, a momentary release from ‘real life’ where you can freely and without guilt, indulge. Whether it be food, foreign shores, hours of leisure, new experiences or love, travel is a catalyst for the ultimate sense of well being.

Who does not love to travel? The discovery of new places, new cultures and new people can be quite inspiring. Creating new memories with friends and family that you can express to others. The author Ryan O’Neill was born in 1975 in Scotland and has an urge to travel. Before settling in Australia he travelled and lived in many different countries in the world. O’Neill wrote the short story “The Traveller” in 2013 and is from the anthology “The Best Australian Short Stories, 2013”

This research studies the relationship between cognitive psychology best suited in studying human behavior and traveling as part of one of our social activities when choosing destination sets: rejection, preferences, behavior in the planning of a pleasure vacation, travel distance to take into consideration, and the possibility of hiring a travel agent to minimize local distances rather than total distance depends on our level of education and personality, how engaging traveling is to our cognitive behavior, and how it affects our states of consciousness will be important to our decisions we take vacations and travel, therefore, making this observational learning a lifetime experience.

To begin with, traveling can be either a pleasurable experience for me or destined to suffer (King, 1995). Being in a new place gives me an enthusiastic feeling as I could sense the thrill of being alone in a different place and far from my home. Yet, I could also feel the fear that builds within me as I know that I am going face new challenges. Brotherton (1999 p. 167) “There is a novelty value, a chance to do and experience something different, a freedom from everyday home-based routines and obligations, involved in receiving hospitality away from home.”
