I have always thought that traveling enriches one’s life. It opens your mind and makes you realize that you are only one more person in a world filled with billions of people. It may make you feel small, but it also teaches you that you are part of that whole. You are able to make connections with those around you, and learn from every single thing you encounter. I have always loved traveling. You get to learn about other cultures, foods, places, and people, things that you would never be able to do if you stayed at home.
I have been blessed to be able to travel to many places, sometimes with friends, sometimes with family, and sometimes alone. There have been trips where I was so small that I can’t even remember the places I traveled to, and other trips, much more recent ones, in which I can recall every single detail of that place. Nonetheless, I believe that with every trip you take somewhere, whether you remember it perfectly or not, something about you changes for the better. A ticket somewhere is the one thing that you buy that makes you richer. You get new stories to tell, meet new people, try new things, and little by little, you get to understand your place in the world a little bit.
During this pandemic, I have come to realize that the ability to travel, to get to new places, and to be able to explore them fully, is something that I took for granted. I am yearning to be able to travel once more, and buy that one ticket, in order to create one more story.
