I recently came across a quote that read "the world is like a book and those who do not travel only read one page." This quote has stuck with me ever since as it gets the point across that the world has a lot to offer, a lot to see and a lot to experience. There is so much to learn from visiting a new place by experiencing  their ways of life and it is not something you can read about online, look at pictures or hear about, it's all about you being there and creating your own memories. In the past years i have been fortunate enough to read many pages of my own "book". Not only do i come home with the post vacation effects of burnt skin, constant feeling of being bloated and great pictures i come home with a new lesson learned. A lesson i learnt  not by anyone teaching it to me or anything along those lines. It is always a lesson i learnt on my own, and those seem to be the most important ones.
Travelling is a huge interest to me and i feel as though i have a lot to share. As i speak so highly of travelling and creating memories and learning lessons i do not believe you are a person without interest if you do not travel (just to clear the air). From my experiences i have nothing but amazing things to say so i decided why not share and explain my self all the while deeply enjoying my topic. No i do not travel the world on a monthly basis. Not even close. But i have been to a few interesting places that have really opened my eyes to the world and what i know about it. With that being said i am looking forward to posting entries about my travelling stories and i hope readers enjoy it too!

  1. I like the quote, but not everyone has the means or liberty to travel. I'm not sure that people who can't travel have only a one page life or limited experience just because they haven't seen the world. Many people can write about small places or limited areas, but still share details of the entire human experience. Travelling is eye opening and can be mind opening, but we need to remember that it tends to be an experience that privileged people enjoy.

  2. i definitely agree! that is why i included in my post that i do not believe you are a person without interest if you do not travel. I understand the quote can be seen as offensive so that is why i tried to clear the air.
