Traveling by Yourself

I strongly believe that everyone should experience the kind of freedom that you have travel around the world on your own .With good planning you can enjoy great views, tasty food and unique souvenirs. Most of all, you can learn about other people’s cultures and broaden your vision, and at the same time, learn more about yourself.


　　It is a pity that most people tend to get cold feet when thinking about going abroad, because they are afraid of not having enough time and money, or sometimes, just because they are afraid of cultural conflicts. For me, time and money are not as important as attaining a sense of freedom through a trip.

　　On a trip, I can be free from tight schedules or from being on time to get everything down. I can make a nice plan for the day, in which relaxing activities are always included. Actually, just going shopping or going to restaurant without any hurry is already a leisure. Most important of all, I am deeply touched by the different people I meet while traveling.

　　Another important thing that I get from traveling is respect. As a black woman in North America, I have to do my best in my job because it is very easy for me to be unemployed. Therefore, at first, I preferred not going abroad in order to keep my job. But later, I found this way of life too stressful and it seems that I can gain respect and peace of mind at the same time if I travel to other countries, In many other countries, people welcome travelers and treat them the same as the people of their own country. Their warmth lightens up my life and my mind. So, regardless of the lack of money, it is always pleasure to have a warm and heart-touching journey.
