just Travel 

    I've been to 14 countries and more then 22 cities in the past year. Thats almost 30 plane rides: 30 times I sat in recycled air, 30 times I ate rehydrated food 30 times I felt like cattle as I was waiting in the TSA line being talked at, and 1 time I was almost strained in the middle somewhere . and I loved every moment of it. Ok, maybe not the cattle part, but the rest.... I would have done it 30 more times if I got the chance. The chance to broaden my illustration of reality. 

   Deciding to build my own perspective on the world. To break the shades that shelter my perspective and manifest my ignorance . To travel is to realize humanity is one and I am one taking part.  When I travelI feel like I'm given the opportunity to press default factory settings button on my life.  Its like all the unproductive habits that I fall into in my normal environment are challenged, as well as the expectations that people have for me. I didn't realize the impact that expectations of other individuals in my environment had on me,  until I changed the environment. It was the smallest things that hindered my curiosity to change and comfortable in compacency like always doing something a certain way because everyone else in your environment does the same thing. It is unchallenged, mutually agreed routine. I challenge my beliefs and morals on many fundamental levels getting rid of the binary to seek a challenge that will illuminate your perspective on the world. Experiencing others cultures you develop a more compassionate mind set towards yourself and other beings, you begin to question conventional wisdom, and the narrative behind it.

   At least this is what I have gained from traveling. Maybe you are afraid of flying but consider this; weigh your fear with ration and calculate what is gained versus what is never known at all. When You travel you often are put in circumstances that force independent thought not everything is a Google search away, the more difficult the challenge presented,the moment of fulfillment tends to be all the greater. To be ruly independent is something that is often lost in urban and progressive societies, you have to know yourself and be comfortable with being alone. Traveling is comfortable with being alone. Traveling is like turning on a flashlight in a dark room and realizing how much there is to discover.
