Traveling to Spain– Personal Narrative
Spain. A wonderful country with a different culture to any other in the world. With its wonderful scenery jumping out at you and its surprisingly unfamiliar ranges of spicy foods, this and the relaxation was why I wanted to go. But with all its exciting features I was barely able to relax at all. My journey started when I left the plane. The hot breeze immediately hit my soft pink skin and left me with a silent shiver up my spine. I looked around and the setting was beautiful, all I could see was lush green fields, and silent hills with the sun just rising over the top. I stopped staring in amazement and walked over to the airport. It was very neat and...show more content...
I ordered an exotic squid and salad dish, with silky red wine and ice. Later on, the order I made arrived the smell was sensational. The freshly caught octopus had a strong scent and was very salty, and the feeling of the ice cold red wine hitting the back of your throat on scorching hot day was breathtaking. After I had finished my dinner I went for a quiet walk through the woodland. I listened to the weird and wonderful sounds of the animals living in there. The sounds were very surprising but they made it very calm and peaceful which was very enjoyable. It began to get dark and the sun was beginning to fall so I headed back to the villa. When I got there I was ready for some supper but the owners left me nothing so I decided to go to a little restaurant in the village. The day had been very hot and left me feeling clammy and tired, so I had a cold shower to wake me up and make me feel refreshed. I then got dressed up and headed to the restaurant. When I got there the waiter asked me if I would like some French bread with salmon paste for a starter, I agreed to this , and when I tasted the soft and crumbly bread I felt like a spoilt king. And then to top this of the soft salmon paste on the bread was delicious and left me on edge as to what I would choose for main course. I decided on having the Get more content
World travel is always a great experience for everybody! Traveling fills ones life with a variety of amazing experiences and events. This includes traveling out of state or even out of the country! As a young individual I myself love to travel and experience new things. Traveling can always open new doors and incredible opportunities such as trying new foods, meeting new people, and even give you a sense of accomplishment! These are just a few great benefits of being a world traveler. Traveling is the most exciting, sensational and mind blowing thing anyone can experience.
Furthermore, a prime reason I enjoy to travel is to try new food! Food is a very important aspect in life. We as humans have to eat in order to survive. So what better way to have a taste of the variety of food from around the world? I recall traveling with my mom and extended family on a trip to California where they are known for their delicious food! Hungry after traveling a near six hours, we decided to purchase some food from a famous restaurant named "In And Out". I got a burger with a side of fries. The burger contained meat, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and many more delicious ingredients. Eating a burger never tasted...show more content...

Being a world traveler has impacted me deep and permanently and has changed my ideas on life for the better. There is no greater feeling of fulfillment and satisfaction as there is when you are a world traveler. The earth is more beautiful than man can perceive. Life is an adventure.

My Unforgettable Travels Visualizing a picture in your head can be so captivating and it can bring back memories you'd never thought you would remember. I visualized a picture of a love lock bridge in Paris, France because it is something that stood out to me when I was traveling. Everything about this area was amazing and breathtaking. I will always remember traveling to France and Spain because of how different other countries are than the United States. Going to these places really made me love exploring and learning new things about the world. When going to France, I really depicted it as a different place than it was. I thought it was going to be just like New York City with a little touch of different people. I was so incredibly wrong. I went there in February of this year and ever since then I can't wait to go back to different countries. The lifestyle there was so serene and mesmerizing all at once. You felt this almost joy of just walking into certain places. I went to multiple different places there. For example, I went to the Palace of Versailles, Hotel Des Invalides, theEiffel Towerand then art museums with painting like the Mona Lisa and much more. These places were spectacular and so different. The work of every building was hand crafted and made me wish I could live in Paris. The people there were a little rude to Americans, but that didn't stop me from trying to converse with them as much as I could. I would always look up different

Well Traveled As the airplane landed we all peered out the window and saw how dark, gloomy, and rainy Munich was that morning. We all stumbled out of the airplane tired and exhausted from a sleepless fourteen–hour flight. After I got through customs and onto the bus everything felt normal. That morning was quite strange, we were in the town of Frankfurt waiting for the other school to arrive. Our journey started with us trying to find food at 7 a.m., on a Sunday in a vacant city. I quickly spotted a McDonalds and it was the only place that was open. The streets were lined with empty alcohol bottles and pigeons trying to eat the scraps of garbage that was left over from the night before. My friends and I were on our way to find any store that was open that morning to waste time as we waited. I noticed a street cleaner cleaning up all of the garbage and he noticed that we were Americans and wanted to mess with us. He pined us with his street cleaner against a glass wall and became within five inches of us. I couldn't help but laugh. I was nervous because I didn't know what was happening and why he was doing that to us. As a group, we all just went on and dismissed it. The next day we slept a lot as we made our way to the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany. This Castle was breathtaking. It was tucked and hidden away in the German Mountainside. The hike was a long walk up the mountain. To even get near the castle. I was so tired from the day before that the two–mile hike was
The Effects of Traveling
By HananThe Effects of Traveling What impacts have globalization on the world? It has opened many different resources to people to know what has happened in many different spots on Earth. It also lets them know more about others around the world. Consequently, people are changed by being interested in learning more about others. Traveling abroad and experiencing different countries and cultures are one of theglobalization effects that have influenced people. Reasons for traveling are various. For instance, the businessman who travels for work, the student who travels for study, the scientist who travels for research purposes, and general people who travel to take a vacation and so forth. Whatever the...show more content... In addition, they are more aware and compassionate toward other people around them. On the contrary of people who never leave their country lack an experience of diversity. Also, those base their opinion on a small group of people they have ever come across or on the information they could know from the media (Jane, 2010). For example, those people who believe in the concept that says each family in Saudi Arabia is rich because their country is one of the top petroleum resources in the world while in real life there are a number of family who are not. However, traveling opens their eyes to see and observe the true culture and then they could judge rely on their experience (Jane, 2010). Nowadays, people seem more interesting in travel and learn about other cultures. Because of that they have a live experience and realize the basic real things about cultures. If many people experience others cultures by traveling, they catch the only true customs about other cultures. They can change the wrong and misunderstood ideas about other cultures. For instance, if so many people travel to Muslims countries and recognize their culture they would change, the negative concept that not all Muslims are terrorists (NomadicMatt, 2008, para.8). Hence, they expose the correct image to their society. In addition, this type of society would not have prejudice toward other societies beside they would accept Get
Many people like to take a vacation each summer with their families, partner, or even just by themselves. It may be to the beach, an amusement park, or just a road trip to a place that they have planned on traveling to for months. However, many people choose to stay inside of the United States when going on their vacation. Traveling abroad, or outside of the country, is something that everyone should try at least once in their lifetime. Although any vacation can be thrilling, there is something special about visiting other countries and simply seeing the difference between the country where I visited and the country that I live in, and have lived in my entire life. One such event for me was visiting Montego Bay, Jamaica on a cruise I had...show more content...
We booked our excursion in advance before arriving at Montego Bay. We were going to be visiting Dunns River Falls and park which included a sky lift that took us seven hundred feet up. We met with our tour guide who would be with us throughout the day at Montego Bay. The excursion required an hour and a half bus ride to Ocho Rios, which is where the falls were located. The scenery along the way was almost breathtaking. We saw numerous local people at every stop light and along the road tying to sell different types of fruit and hand–crafted items. We learned that tourism is the primary, and almost only source, of income for locals in Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and most of Jamaica. The vegetation growth in Jamaica was beautiful and it was flourishing at every turn of the trip. We even saw a small wooden shack on the side of the road that the locals had named "future Walmart." The homes in Montego Bay are primarily built out of stone and plants are used to paint the stone a color. Our tour guide told us that it would take many years to build a home because the families must build them by hand because they could not afford to hire someone. We also learned that many homes are not completed due to the owner running out of funds to build the home. Once we arrived at Dunns River Falls, we were required to change into our swimming trunks to prepare to enter the falls. Wearing only our swimming trunks and our waterproof Get more content
Traveling is just a reason to relax; anybody can be a traveler at the end of the day, but the passion for exploring shapes a real traveler. Over the 18 years of my lifespan, I have always been motivated to travel. Still, every trip is a new experience because every moment is unique and exhilarating. Writingis just like traveling, every time I sit to write the excitement and demand is always different. As a child, my parents knew that I had the upper hand in solving mathematical problems because there background was in science. However, my parents wanted me to be creative along with mathematics. I believe that writing brings out the creativity in me because it is not a straight road like solving a formula, there might be bumps along the way, but the connection that is created with the reader using vivid images, senses, and emotions make it exciting. Writing has been a bittersweet hurdle of my life, the ability to formulate details and closing sentences have been successful whereas the capability to express thoughts properly has been a shortcoming, along with the awareness of transitions, but English 1101 at UGA has prepared me to recognize these problems and fix them immediately. Just as a frequent traveler describes his trips with the utmost details and emotions, through this class, I learned that my strongest area in writing is making a connection with the readers by using powerful diction, vivid imagery, and emotions. The primary goal about traveling is to learn about the place and recommend others to visit it; similarly, our first assignment in this class was also to write a review about a familiar subject that I have experienced. Therefore, I chose to write a review about a suspense thriller Bollywood movie, Drishyam, for which I had to provide enough imageries and emotions to create an attachment with the readers. For example, "After the murder, the mood shifts from a quiet one to a gloomy one that kept me engaged with sounds like a tree falling, a knock on the door, and thunder," this sentence does not lack any details instead it has strong diction, and imageries that allow the readers to enjoy the suspense of the movie without ever watching the movie. Through the process of writing about this

"Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller." – Ibn Battuta. My passion is learning about life through traveling and exploring new things. It excites me when I visit new places, learn different cultures, and see other people live a life that is different from mine. I just love to travel because it makes me realize that the world is so beautiful and there is so much to admire and treasure. Furthermore, i love the feeling I get when I explore new ideas, histories, beliefs, and sceneries. It not only increases my knowledge, but also helps me overcome problems that I am dealing with. I get to experience life's problems, pleasures, and rise above my personal bubble to become a better person through exploring new cultures. Travelling is my passion because it's an activity that I am not afraid of pursuing. I learn more about myself and expand my horizons every time I travel....show more content...
Seeing new sights and exploring new places can increase our knowledge and widen our global perspective. We get to learn so many things about different cultures and customs. It makes us open minded and gives us a new viewpoint about life and particularly our life, it can help us change some of bad habits or even create new ones. People's vision enlarges as they travel and they find new frontiers of knowledge. It gives us an opportunity to disconnect from our regular lives and helps us to get away from our monotonous lives and rejuvenates us. Going to a vacation lets us recharge our batteries and when we come back we feel invigorated and we feel happy to be back in our daily routines. Travelling with friends and family creates beautiful memories for a lifetime which we can never

"For miles, I travelled, and travelled and travelled....." Pen your thought on this in 800 words "For miles, I travelled, travelled and travelled, then I realized that I know nothing". Have I learnt anything? I can't believe this. I am not sure what I am looking for. My life is miserable. Time goes without ever looking at me. But still I have put on faith even I don't know where I am going but I'm on my way. There is still a way. I disbelieve that travel is a journey. Travel are not just the action of going on a trip or going on vacation. To me, travelling means "life". Yes it's alive. To me travel is alearning process. It has been one of my most valuable teachers. You absorb, you experience, you react, and you share. But, when traveling you learn more about yourself than you ever imagined. Travelling forces us to examine all aspects of ourselves, be it the good, the bad, and even the ugly. Life on the road can give us so many challenges that test our innate patterns and reactions, our emotions, our likes and dislikes, and what not. Technically, you find...show more content...
So, I positively think that it is always "something" wrong about me. I should know how to identify my strength and my weakness. That was his point. He wants me to be out of my comfort zone. Life is either an adventurous adventure or nothing at all. Dare to take a challenge or we just hard to move on because we are lazy? That is what he meant. I know that!
Now I have experience it, then I strongly hold on his principle. Travelling is such as long destiny. Same goes with theknowledge. Knowledge is everywhere. By learning, we gain knowledge. The freedom is great and the "intimate" time with ourselves is priceless. We have to learn, but try not to push yourself off limit as human being are immortal. We should have a "life" Learning can be learn through many ways. It is up to us whether we are clever enough to gain in a good Get more content
Let's Travel Alone! Any Barrier would be Easily Gotten Over. Many people like traveling. Some of them use a fixed plan of a travel agency in a group, and the others make their itineraries on their own. It seems the number of the latter is increasing these days. There are a number of benefits to travel alone. The biggest one is that each traveler can plan their own travels as they like. For example, when I planned a seven–day trip for Tohoku area in Japan I made a number of the plans even visiting the same spots with a train time schedule, which was very exciting. It was a pity that I was not able to make the plan to meet all conditions I first conceived, but forming the best itinerary under limitations through trial and error out of a number of...show more content...
In addition, the travelers do not have to follow this itinerary all the time in travelling. If there is a something interesting in a real place, each one of the travelers is free to explore it, changing a schedule. When I was making a plan for free time of school trip for Auckland, I remember one of our teachers said "Without the help of Google Map, you need to experience losing your way, exploring what is on the real street on your own. There might be a nice bakery, which is not on a route displayed on your smartphone." Plus, individual travelers can experience thorough loneliness in the real palace which they have never visited before unless they take some action. Of course, in many cases, I cannot take any action there, but I should learn something good if I encourage myself to take a step out of my shell. The increase of individual travelers shows that they understand these advantages to travel alone, however, the others still hesitate in traveling alone because of difficulties which the advantages have at the same time. The difficulties are burden to make each plan, boringness to kill
