Just yesterday, I retired from being a world traveler. I am getting close to the age of 61 and I can't really hike mountains or go scuba diving anymore so I decided to retire. Back when I was about three years old I moved from my birth state, sunny Orlando Florida, and moved to North Carolina where I lived near the woods and that made me want to explore. I lived there for about four years and a half. I still remember my last day in North Carolina because it was so cold and snowy that i had to wear two jackets and three shirts! When I left North Carolina I moved to Virginia and I stayed there for about two and a half years, and then we moved again to indiana and i stayed there for half of fifth grade and all of sixth grade until we moved to
virginia. I only stayed in Virginia for seventh grade and then I moved right back to Indiana. All of the other moves didn’t bother me to much because I was too young to really remember my friends, but since I was 13 on my last move it bothered me a lot more. When I was 22 I graduated college and when I was 25 I started traveling the world. I took photos where I went and I also painted wherever I went. I also took videos wherever I went. When I was about 40 I uploaded my videos I made to Youtube and I actually made a decent amount of money off of it even though Youtube wasn’t really that popular then. I kept exploring the world and had a lot of fun with my life. When I was 60 I retired. I think I lived a pretty good life.
As I opened my eyes, I saw a giant cruise ship in front of my eyes.It took two whole days but we finally reached Florida where we went Rock Gliding.It’s where you have to get past a giant,rocky maze.The winner gets to cans of ice cream.Though my sister won,we all shared the ice cream.Next stop,the Bahamas!!!In the bahamas we went parasailing up 700 ft above water level,it was so much fun.The boat driver even let us touch the smooth,light blue water with our feet.Finally, we ended with a relaxing dolphin swim on the soft,delicate beach of Jamaica.
We started our travels down in Columbus Ohio. The week leading up to the big move we spent at Deer Creek State park, for a family reunion, where my dad and step mom, had the chance to see everyone again, before the journey began. Over all we had taken nine days to get to our destination. First stop, Saint Louis, Missouri, we stopped to see the Gateway Arch. It was a lot bigger than I thought it would be, so of course I was pretty amazed. The first few days were our longest driving days, but sense we broke up the days, our longest day was eight hours. The second day was the worst, Oklahoma is so boring to drive through, and nothing but flat crop farms, and wind turbines everywhere you look. We drove till we got about seventy five miles from the boarder of New Mexico, And Oklahoma. We got up early and began a shorter dive to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where we went to Petroglyph National Monument, yeah it was interesting, but after you see a few hundred, they all start to look the same. The next morning we took a beautiful hike and took many pictures to capture the moment. Other than getting there, my favorite part of the trip, was Arizona, where we stayed four days in Flagstaff, one day in Holbrook, and one day in Phoenix. I wouldn’t mind if I lived in Arizona, it’s a very beautiful state. My family and I stopped by the Petrified Forest National Park, and I
Jackie Robinson once said,” Yes, here is my homeground here and in all the Negro communities through the land. Here I stand.” Jackie overcame many barriers. One barrier he overcame was leaving the people he cared about to play in the Major League. I had a similar barrier that I overcame. I moved from Boone to Winston Salem. I started kindergarten and moved in the middle of seventh grade at my old school. The school I went to was pre-k through eighth grade. Since I started there, I wanted to finish there. I always thought I would but plans change. We all have to deal with change.
The first thing I heard was Virginia Beach vacation, and then in excitement I ran and got my stuff and started to pack. The part I was most excited about was that the hotel is a beachfront hotel room.I was so excited because I love the beach and I really wanted to go back to the beachfront hotel and stay there. I went there when I was in second grade. I have gotten to go there a few times since second grade, but I did not get to stay there overnight.
The trip to Florida over Christmas break was unlike any other. Yes, most people would jump at the opportunity to go to Florida after a winter like we had up to that point. So, let me give you some background on why the trip. Back in July my mother in-law had an epileptic seizure that rendered her in a coma, she has not awoken from and the doctors are pushing to let her go. She has been moved 3 hours from my brother in-laws house to Georgia. Thanks to our lovely health care system, it was the only place available that could take care of her needs. Perfect timing kids are out of school and it is a good time to travel so you would think. I have been out of work
Let me introduce myself. My name is Heather Smith; I'm 18 years old and am a senior at Suttons Bay High School. I was born and raised here and have attended Suttons Bay Schools for 13 years. My hobbies include playing socer, spending time with ym friends, music, art, snowboarding, biking, working out and traveling. Six years ago I startedmy love of travel when I had the opportunity to travel on a 16-day European History trip to the countries of England, France, Italy, Switzerland and germany with family and friends. Last summer I traveled to Spain with my school's Spanish club, and in March I went to Mexico. I speak Spanish and plan on continuing my studies at Michigan State University this fall. I find that traveling is so interesting as it gives me the chance to see how others live and experience their culture.
The year is 1880 and The Civil War ended fifteen years ago, my family is struggling to sustain on the meager income that I make, working for the general store in the city of Richmond, Virginia. Fifteen years after the war, buildings have gaping holes from the cannons and few bridges have been repaired. The Union army took anything of value and left the city of Richmond broken. Times are tough, I have a wife and three children to support, reluctantly we make the hard decision to leave our home and go west. Before the war, my family owned a prosperous farm and after the Union burned it down; we have nothing except for the meager wages I make at the store. Farming seems to make the most sense for us, so we will go west to Texas and try our luck
International travelling has opened up more new doors for us all. It breaks the country barriers, and connects all continents. People learn more about the different cultures’ quirks, mannerisms, worldview, history, and politics. Knowing more about other cultures means being smarter. Knowing more about the world also makes you feel gratitude – you learn to appreciate the wonderful things you actually have, compared to friends out there who have so little. According to Nev Schulman, “Life experience is what defines our character… You need the downs to appreciate the ups. Going on the adventure or taking that risk is important”. This was the experience of Chelin Lauer, a graduate in biology from a US college who ended up moving to South Korea to work as a science and English teacher, and then travel whenever she had the chance. I myself had also taken the adventurous journey of my life when I decided to study abroad in Canada, and then was amazed by the beautiful landscape, the friendly local people and the traditional food during my 2 years
I have a lot of family in that expanse. My first big land vacation was to the state of California, “Home of the Grizzly Bears”. It was burdened with fun. On this trip we went to Los Angeles. We went around Venice and Malibu, drove around Hollywood, and shopped with style on Rodeo Drive.
Joanna MacQueen, my colleage in Enroll Virginia, let me know of the Development and Marketing Manager position you are looking to fill.
In less than a month we will have Christmas break. On Christmas evening we will be going to Florida. I am going to Florida with my parents, and my annoying brothers. The car trip there will be long and stressful , but at the end it will be all worth it. I hope my trip to Florida is amazing, I always feel so at home when I’m in Florida. I feel as if I should of been born there, I would be a great surfer dude!
...ave found a new man in my life who takes care of me by giving me that support that I need as a woman. The love that I always been looking for because I deserved it. An now more that ever I can see clear what I want. I also think that when I am fifty I will begun to travel around the world. First, I would like to star with Italy, so I can visit my grandmother's country. I, also would like to see were she grew up and how the people of Italy are . All I can remember are the stories she used to tell me about her country. I am also interested in going to South America especially Brazil. I am going to enjoy traveling because I will be able to meet different kind of people in the world. I think when I turn eighty I am going to be able to finish the puzzle of my life because as I get older the pieces of my life begun to fit better being old is not such a bad idea.
The place where I would like to call me second home is located all the way down in Savanna Georgia. I can remember way back about nine years ago in the summer of 2008. The plane ride was a long and hot, and I spent the whole ride playing on my PSP. When I got off the plane I remembered walking through the freezing cold Savanna International Airport seeing all the flags of different countries hanging from the ceiling, but then taking one step out of the airport front doors looking for the car services that was rented and feeling the crushing 100°F heat and deathly humidity. But it is all worth the painful heat to spend time in the beautiful city.
I have visited a lot of places around the world. Traveling is fun to me and its very interesting to me. Looking to learn more history about countries with their cultures trying new things around their culture their past because if you wanna look at the future of somthing look at the past.
There is nothing quite like traveling, going someplace new and finding out more about the world and yourself. Anyone can become a traveler it just takes a little bit of faith and courage. Traveling across the world or even across the country is a learning experience. When you are a traveler you see how people live and how different cultures work. It is the best educational experience you could give yourself. You see how the world works in a way no one can teach you. Seeing different cultures and people help build the person you want to be. If you are a traveler the world influences you, because when traveling, you see the good and the bad, and you learn from the right and the wrong. I am very lucky that I am able to be a traveler and see this
