As an adult, I feel a little down at times when people talk about their experiences with traveling. They talk about exotic locations, unique sites that can't be found anywhere else, and sometimes it seems as if these people travel for a living and somehow don't need to worry about the constraints of time and money. Although I have done a decent amount of traveling, it's nowhere near what I want it to be. Those two annoying factors, time and money, are what usually hold me back from leaving home to explore somewhere else.
Much of my day job involves writing articles relating to travel. Often, I'll write about locations I've never been to based solely on the information I can find. I'm absolutely ready to go to Cabo or Cancun or anyplace. Perhaps in the near future. Writing about traveling has made me have a growing interest in seeing more of the world myself. I can't keep making excuses about time and money. If people keep holding themselves back because of these two elements, they won't be able to live more satisfying lives. This is why I intend to travel more.
Over the 4th of July weekend, I went on a road trip with a friend. Some things were planned and the rest was left up to spontaneity. Our expectations were met and even exceeded. We had a wonderful trip by taking in the sights, visiting places, briefly connecting with some strangers, and having no real worries. It was such a refreshing opportunity to break away from the monotony of life and I'm inspired to write a story about it.
Yes, traveling really is a great thing. There's a massive world around us. I'd like to see much more of it.
