The Importance Of Traveling

Although I do not globe-trot much, it is one of my absolute cherished things to do when I get the chance. Traveling is beautiful and mysterious all at once; you see things you never thought you would see and, essentially, become a storyteller. I believe it is imperative to explore the world whenever you can to discover the area that brings you the most joy or where you somewhat ‘belong.’ After all, if we were meant to stay in one place, we would have roots rather than feet.

Additionally, the cooking at this resort was impeccable. There were all sorts of foods, such as Mexican, Italian, Chinese, and American. The Italian and Mexican places were my all time favorite restaurants. At the Italian restaurant, you could find multiple kinds of pasta meals that were all to die for. One of my favorite dishes was filled with spaghetti noodles drenched in marinara sauce, topped with shreds of mozzarella cheese which partly melted on the warm noodles, and a sliced crispy chicken breast on top. It was marvelous and so extremely tasty that the delicious scent didn’t do
