traveling -_-


People should travel out of state on a real vacation at least once in their life. By a real vacation I mean to sight see a different place unfamiliar to the person. Yes this does exclude Oostburg for all of you that haven’t been out of Sheboygan. There are so many opportunities to grow and learn. There are also so many different places to go that it would most likely be a tough decision to choose where to go, unless of course you have a specific type of climate and atmosphere in mind. For example, somewhere warm and kid friendly you could then go to Florida or California to either the Disney world or Disneyland. Then that would probably narrow your search. Like I said there are so many different places to go see and learn about. I myself am intrigued to sight see a place a place I have in mind is Spain. Spain is really big on soccer which is great for me since I’m a huge soccer fan. Spain also has such beautiful buildings and the antic house architectures are also very beautiful to see. Their culture is very different compared to ours in many ways. I would enjoy spending time there and getting to know some of their customs. In some parts of the world people eat three huge meals throughout the day and savor lunch the most since most shops are closed due to a family setting type of lunch. Families sit down for an hour or two and enjoy a big meal together laughing and talking about their day. Anywhere you go outside of the States would most likely have a different culture, customs, and beliefs. Even though you might not agree with them they are interesting to learn about as well as observe. You may even be surprised about the things you might see. Some might say there is no time or money to do such a trip. I think there is always time as well as money you just have to be open about trying new things. Maybe instead of spending the spring break partying and getting drunk you could instead take a trip.  It would be great ideas to save some money on little things such as gum or chips maybe even save the money you were going to spend on watching the latest movie at the theater. Those small choices go a long way. The small change builds up and before you know it you have your savings for a trip to a different place. You would be amazed of the things you could see. It would be like taking a fresh breath of air in a new place. There would be no work, no drama, and no homework. There would be just the amazing new place ahead. There would however be a difficulty in communicating with others that are native to the place unless the trip is somewhere in the States. I am sure there are a variety of accommodations that could be made to be able to communicate with others. Some for example could be traveling to a place where they have English speakers another could be having a booklet of the words to use in the other language that translate the words.  Another difficulty would be having a place to stay as well as a transportation to get from point A to point B. In many place of the world they have hostels that are very inexpensive. They are usually located somewhere in the downtown area where they are easy to locate. They also are more of a stay at night type of places not like hotels where you might spend an entire day there. So for example say you just need a place to leave the heavy luggage then you would leave your belongings at the hostel and sight see the entire day and that way you don’t have to carry any of it. Then at night you just go and sleep and in the morning go out and sight see more. As for transportation there are usually buses or taxis in most places if not then walking is usually a way to go. There might be buildings to see or museums to look around in. After experiencing a trip to a different place you might think differently about the way you live or even live life a little differently. In the end it would be a great experience even to just have something to remember, as well as something to learn from the new or different place. Maybe by going on the trip it would change your mind about things and you could become a little more open minded about things. If not hopefully the trip was just something fun and exciting to do. Hopefully on your trip you take a camera whether it be digital or disposable the memories are sure to last a lifetime.
