I love to see the wonders of nature. I also like to go to museums and learn new things. I like to read all the information cards and not just rush through.

Travelling, especially, to distant places and regions gives me a sense of freedom. I am able to be more observant, philosophical and even breathe more deeply. I guess all these come with a feeling of relief from the burden of my usual daily routines and expectations associated with a familiar environment.

I love feeling the rush of excitement and nervousness whenever I travel. I like meeting new people and trying new food. Overtime, I travel somewhere new, I try to buy or get a souvenir from that place. One day, I would like to be able to visit every country in the world.

That is a good reason to travel ?
Definitely. It broadens the mind and helps us understand and appreciate the differences.
Between the pages of a book is a lovely place to be...

I love just getting away from MY life for a while!
Well said! You've covered quite a bit about why traveling is so enjoyable. ?

I love the exhilaration I feel from the beauty of nature and culture. Spanish cultures always feel like home, even though they're not. Or maybe they are, I've never had genetic testing done. I loved how the culture in Miami was so rich, that it felt like I was in another country.

What I love most is seeing the landscapes. It was so mystical the way every inch of the Icelandic countryside was covered in a magical storybook moss. Even with a camera, I have to memorize the moments.

Cameras are great items to take while traveling!

I like to learn about new cultures and try new foods. Sometimes, it really puts your life into perspective and is really humbling.
