Travel. To some it means the crossing of bothers. To most others it sounds more
like the Eiffel Tower of Paris, The Great
Wall of China, the sunny, pristine beaches of Hawaii e.t.c. But to me, travel simply means creating your own adventure
abroad.
I grew up watching countless travel documentaries on Discovery
Channel, National Geographic in fact, those were basically the very few channels I'd watch each time I end up sitting in front of the tele. And each time, I'd be in awe as to how beautiful the world is. But never did it ever cross my mind that it'd be possible for me to one day make my way to the various corners of the earth. I've always thought that travel was for the rich and famous.
- Slowly it became a dream; not those far-fetched ones but more towards the kind that you yearn for, ever so much.
Looking through the travel photos of my friends (or rather, Facebook 'friends') I began to realize that everyone was going to the same places. Always the same story, same photos you'd see. Nothing new, I thought. The one thing that I realize about most people when it comes to traveling is that they tend to visit the very places that everyone else goes to. It's always about what the guide-book says, what the travel websites recommend. So at the end of the day you get every Tom, Dick and Harry from all over the world congregating at this so called 'places of interest'. To me it kinda defeats the main purpose of going to that particular place. Thanks to the many documentaries that I've watched, I've come to learn that the best way to travel is to immerse yourself in the culture of the people there and its place which usually means going off the beaten track to really get to see the beauty of it all.
Speaking of which, I really hate the showy side of Facebook. Or even twitter for that matter.
-I've come to the realization after certain episodes in my life that it's always about you you you and no one else. It's always about you.
-I dun think i'm normal, ppl have an iphone, ppl havis
-girls, i don't blame them. if i were a parent of a girl I'd be afraid too.
So why
don't we go, somewhere only we know.
