Love to Travel
This weekend Matt and I are headed to New Orleans. It is only a 3 hour drive from where I am staying. Last time I went was with my sister Kim and it was an amazing start to what I am doing now. I am hoping this trip brings as much fun. I will miss the ‘mini’ me tagging along though. I think Matt is trying to prove himself worthy of being my new travel partner.
Yesterday my friend Don from Dallas called me that I hadn’t seen in years.We talked a lot about travel and the joys of travel. Some people limit themselves to their local surroundings so I wanted to list reasons why I love to travel:
- Meeting new people
- Experiencing new cultures
- Learning new things
- Trying new foods
- Seeing new locations
- Teaches you to relax
- Helps face your fears
- Makes you thankful
- Makes the world come alive
- Helps you find yourself
- Brings out the explorer
- Appreciate differences
- Learn the kindness of strangers
- Helps you smile
- Lets you escape
- Inspires
- Teaches you lessons
- Opens you to new opportunities
I could go on and on about why I like to travel. I didn’t really explore the world and know it was a passion of mine till I moved to Dallas. Once I found a new respect for the new city I lived in, I tried visiting others. I was instantly in LOVE.
I am looking forward to my mini getaway this weekend. Pictures to come!
