We are connected more now than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We can read about unfamiliar places and we can see videos\nabout different cultures, but there is a problem with all this connectedness.\nReading or seeing images about places you<\/em>\nhave never experienced yourself could potentially alter the difference between\nfact and fiction. Traveling to new places might be scary, uncomfortable or even\nexhilarating for some. These experiences will shape your understanding of the\nworld around you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This makes traveling is very important. You get to meet new people, eat new foods and even learn new things. I would encourage everyone to travel as much as possible to as many places as you can. You will always be able to replace the money you spend, but you can never replace the memories you make along the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n From a young age, I have always taken family trips. Each year\nwe would go to a place for a week. Sometimes it would be the Wisconsin Dells or\nit would be Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Other times it would be New Orleans, Louisiana\nor Las Vegas, Nevada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But, once I was old enough to travel on my own (without my parents) I did. In 2016, I went to New York, New York, in February, then in March I went to Europe (France and England), then in April I went to Las Vegas with my father, then in the summer my parents, my best friend and I went to Branson, Missouri and finally I went back to New York in December to watch the Ball Drop into the new year . <\/p>\n\n\n\n That was a crazy year of travel for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I made some of the best memories with the people I love in\nthe year 2016. Without traveling, I wouldn\u2019t be able to say that I got locked in\na bathroom in the streets of Paris or everyone thought my father was my husband\nin Las Vegas or that New York is really pricy no matter where you go to eat. The\nmoral of the story is- go out an adventure, whether it is to the next town over\nor across the world\u2026 you will make some unforgettable memories along the way. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are connected more now than ever.
