Around the World in Many Days

I was thinking of beginning to post the reminders I give to myself whenever I travel. This includes reminders of who I want to be and how can I do it. It also allows me to share stories not of myself, but of different people I meet along the way.

I have travelled to a lot of places throughout the years, including Spain, Switzerland, Japan, South Korea, Cambodia and many more. From there, I learnt so much through being exposed to their cultures.

I thought it would be a waste if I did not start journal-ling my travels. So, I’m going to start recording them with this travel series. It will include interesting things that I have observed during my trips, and also reminders that can be applied to your day-to-day life, which I’ve gathered during my trips in different countries.

I think maybe that’s the reason why people want to travel around the world. They want to get exposed to new things outside of their own culture. They crave for new experiences. The same goes for me; through new experiences will I be able to know myself a little bit better.

Usually, I only travel and stay in a country for a few days, so I don’t get to go around much. For sure, I would love to stay longer if I can. But I think staying just for a few days already reveals a lot of yourself and gives you a lot of valuable experience. You’re able to see even just a portion of a cultural picture, even if not complete. That portion already gives a lot of value and a unique perspective.

I'm particularly excited to write about my exchange to the United States. It's going to give me a lot of inspiration for content on this blog, so I have to make the most of it!

Always travel with a purpose. Whether it is to see tourist attractions, peek into a country’s history or taste local cuisine. All these foreign experiences together or by itself can be brought back to your normal lifestyle and be used to develop yourself and grow.

So hopefully, this travel series will let you see my purpose in travelling, and that the reminders that I give to myself can, in one way or another remind, or help you come into realization of certain things within you.
