Around the World



My dream is to travel the entire world. Every continent, country, city. Mountain, desert, grassland. Ocean, lake, river. I love seeing things for myself. Yeah, I could sit in a classroom hearing about what’s out there. I could memorize a few facts about cultures. But nothing compares to experiencing it for myself. My dad is the type to travel a ton for business, and it is him who has influenced my taste for different cultures. In my 15 years of being alive, I have already reached many destinations.  I’ve been to many U.S. states, Mexico, Canada, the Bahamas, Jamaica, Israel, Netherlands, Belgium, Namibia, and South Africa. If I wanted to count airports, I’ve also landed in Frankfurt, London, Rome, and Dakar. However, what I want is to go to an exotic place and fully experience it. I’d love to see tourist countries like France, Italy, Greece, Switzerland, England, and Spain, while also passing through small towns in China, Thailand, and Japan. I’d like to freeze in Alaska or Greenland and chill in Australia. I want to climb pyramids in Egypt and South America and visit castles in Ireland, Scotland, and Whales. I’d love to see the Amazon Rainforest in South America and ride alongside wild animals in African safaris. I’d love to go snorkeling in random seas and oceans, exploring the marine life as well. The world offers so many activities and sites, and I want to grasp it all! Different cultures are a huge interest of mine, like trying the authentic foods of every country. It’s intriguing to compare other societies to my own. I will spend my entire life making this dream of mine come true!

  1. I completely understand your wanting to experience the rest of the world. I often feel very sheltered here in Northbrook. Like you mention, you cannot understand something until you've lived it. My friend (who's in his mid 20's) flew out to Europe this past summer and for 3 months traveled from country to country in Europe and Asia. Sounds like something you'd enjoy!
