World Travel

Page 3

I echo the words of the famous Johnny Cash lyrics “I’ve been everywhere, man.” Travel has ironically always been something that intrigued my dad since it was limited to him in his youth. He set out to see as much as the United States as he could and in response we always got hauled as a family. I’ve managed to set foot in forty-nine of the fifty states. The only state that has seemed to evade my footprints is far out of reach for me, Alaska. This is frustrating because it seems that it is most likely going to detract me from my flawless record of fifty for some time since I have no intentions of going there anytime soon.  

I’ve lived in six states throughout my life. I’ve visited countless cities that include places like Honolulu, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Miami, New York, Washington D.C, and much, much more. Most the places are a vague memory, since I had very little interest in Gettysburg or Plymouth Rock at such a young age. Still it is neat to think that I’ve been there, but I definitely feel obligated to replicate my steps and explore these places again some point in my life.  

I’ve managed to travel to Mexico multiple times since I live so close to the border. Other foreign places I’ve been include the Bahamas, Canada, and as far as France and the Netherlands. I love travel because when you’re in front of something you’ve seen so many countless times in pictures, textbooks, and movies, it is fascinating! I plan to continue on this tradition my dad has started in this family and go see the rest of the world. My goal presently is visit every livable continent and the various places of interest within each. A lifelong pursuit I hope to take with my family.
