be an integral part of my life. What I experience will shape how I think
Next I will talk about the social situations that affect the travel to long haul destinations. The poverty in a lot of long haul destination countries reaches the extreme levels where beggars are around every corner. Tourists have to be really careful with showing what they have and showing their wealth as the beggars end up making them feel
I live vicariously through Anthony Bourdain. His extravagant expeditions around the globe fill my mind with dreams. “No Reservations,” his eight season series, travels through some of the world’s most hidden treasures. The people he meets share culture and tradition with him and hopefully, I will soon have a similar experience. I have always wanted to travel abroad. I find myself watching the travel channel almost everyday. I believe that I will be a better doctor and person if I am afforded this opportunity.
The idea to travel struck author Carl Hoffman a year after reading about horrific travel accidents for tourists who were traveling abroad. He reads about multiple accidents such as; many people dying from a ferry sinking in Bangladesh, an “adrenaline junkie who collects passport stamps and thrives on dysentery inducing street food.” After reading about all of this news, Hoffman decides he wants to gain some perspective on how dangerous traveling is for most of the world. He decided to plan a 159 day worldwide trip traveling through Colombia, Kenya, India, Mongolia, Afghanistan and Los Angeles. On his voyage, he only obeyed one rule and that was to get around only by the most uncomfortable, unreliable, disease-ridden and disaster-prone way.
Travelling gives us mixed feelings: happiness, anxiety, eagerness, … and it gives us expectations about the country or city we are visiting. The two travelers have felt similar feelings as what we might feel. They both were eagered to find what Athens was like.

This paper will describe an adventure in Amsterdam that will test my limits
Growing up my family didn’t do much traveling. Our travels consisted of short road trips, lots of laughter, fun and adventure. We weren’t a privileged family; we were quite the opposite. Although we lacked in the financial department, I don’t recall ever feeling like we did. This could’ve been because my head was always in the clouds but it probably had a lot to do with how much love there is in our family. As I grew older I started to take notice of where my friends were going to spend their summer or winter vacations. While mine, were going to be spent mostly home. These were the times I spent dreaming about where I would travel to if I only had the money.

The truth is, it’s quit your job, travel the world, find a job on the road to be able to sustain the life of a travel. I’m not against those people who travel the world to quit their jobs, in fact it’s truly inspirational. What a big leap but, It’s not glamorous all the time. No one can just quit and travel the world just like that without funds or a sustainable income. If there is, everyone already quit their jobs and board the next flight to, I don’t know, paradise in
Traveling... ahh yes, does EVERYONE LOVE TO TRAVEL? Well, I am aware, I understand... the pains of connecting flights, delays, cancellations, hauling baggage a mile across terminals... the hassle of renting automobiles, fighting traffic in a foreign state (and figuring out which side of the street to drive) and attempting to determine just what the man is telling you when all's you asked was "where's the toilet?"... Aside from all that, is it not the greatest feeling when you're able to step away from the standard routine, take several deep breaths and realize you don't have anything to do but sit on the shore... your most difficult choice is if you are going to get steak or lobster that night... and your biggest worry is in case you have sufficient sun screen?
He argues that people should treasure their home place and take necessary measures to improve its image (Emerson 44). Travelling presents the actual nature of other people’s creations and inhibits the traveler’s ability to come up with new designs. Emerson’s main argument in travel is that self-reliant people refrain from moving physically to historical sites. Instead, such people allow their minds to stray to such places and imagine how it could look like. In presenting this argument, Emerson insists that people should never be contented with the achievements of other people (43). He notes that such imagination equips the person with wisdom and knowledge to advance counter arguments about certain uplifted travel destinations. With such wisdom, the person not only proves to be self –reliant, but he also achieves recognition as different person with life-changing
A journey for me means discovering the histories of different places, which are invariably rich with stories, mythical or real. Trips, both long and short, mean learning about different architecture styles through the heritage landmarks of the countries, I visit. Moreover, a trip to a new place – urban, rural or suburban, allows me to interact with the local people, mingle with them, immerse in their cultures, taste their cuisines, understand different perspectives and take in the place. Therefore, I will always travel. I visited Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong and Macau with my family; Nepal on a school trip. (98 words)
Traveling has many benefits from being the inspiration of artists, expanding your comfort zone, and learning about different cultures. (Crane, 2015) Traveling promotes creativity and can be the reason of many great works. Artists have been inspired from art styles and
Euros, passport, driver’s license are held tightly in my left hand while trying to remember where I placed hotel reservations and train schedules standing in line at JFK Airport.
