To me, traveling is a form of success. I have been all over the world. A change of venue is a great way to see things from a different perspective. I have learned many things from traveling. One main thing is that the grass is not greener on the other side. All of these countries have amazing cultures, but they have their quirks just like ours. I have been blessed with amazing grandparents that sent me on many trips abroad. They understood the importance of traveling and seeing the world for what it is. I started with the McDonald's sign in German, because it symbolizes my traveling in one easy phrase, "Ich Liebe Es", A.K.A. "I'm Lovin' It". That picture is perhaps one of my favorite, because at that moment those were the words that described how I felt. Even though I couldn't read German I instantly understood the sign and felt a connection with a country on the other side of the planet. I am still traveling. Traveling to my goals and everyday is a new experience and "I'm Lovin' It".
i blog layout. Keep up the great work
ReplyDeleteThis is a great photo essay chronicling your travels. I agree w the first line of your post-it is a form of success. Many of the places you have already been to, are on my "bucket list" to visit. Traveling the world is a whole other form of education and I have to see I admire your grandparents for supporting you in that! Thanks for sharing not just the words but the photos with us-they are great.
