humanity
If nothing else, travel opens your eyes to the colorful quilt that is humankind.
Fresh Donuts Daily
Everything on the mountain was wet that morning except for me and my gear. I was set up between two close growing juniper trees, in a tent and under two tarps. I had a fire pit at the edge of the outer tarp where I'd been able to sit warm and dry by the fire during the rain the night before. I woke to live coals and blew my fire to life. The coals in the sky were lit too, and I let the sun dry the outer side of my tarps while I dunked ginger cookies in hot coffee.

Lobster Fishing in Belize
There are so many things I love about Belize. The wide ranging shades and depths of blue; the sunrise on an open horizon of sea; the ingredients and food; but what secures Belize firmly in my heart are the people. They are—as many people in the world are who are left to make good with the resources at hand—so ingeniously industrious and creative in finding solutions.

A Look at the World's Tourism Sector—And How Everyone Is Faring!
Many countries now feel the need to invest in tourism, because of the income earned for the economy. Having invested less than this amount in just one year, several countries recovered to eight million dollars. Some countries that are not noticeable in the world today, are considered one of the most important tourist centers in the world. The thing is, how did they do it? If a country chooses an ideal strategy, explores all tourist centers, preserves and strengthens nature, accepts new attractive and aggressive actions, and restores confidence, it will promote recovery. This way, the roads are packed for an annual increase in national income. After all, many people make more money to burn plane tickets.

My Friend from Tanzania
I was so excited today to make it to my destination. I was driving to the city for the third time in 3 days, trying to learn what I was going to do about the weather. We always try to get there on time, so that is why the lines were so long: it was rush hour traffic! We were feeling so sorry because of the loss of my cousin. We had to bring his mother with us, which was funny.

The Importance of Travel
Throughout my childhood, I dreamed of seeing the world. I never knew how much I was going to love it. For years, I begged and pleaded for my parents to take me on a trip out of the country, and in June 2017, I finally got to go to London. I was so excited to go on this trip with my school’s drama club. This trip started my love for traveling. I thought one of the best parts of the trip was actually traveling with a group of people who had the same interests as me and who I could bond with and learn from while abroad. It was such a unique experience.

Feeling Guilty for Traveling
We're all built differently, but the fantasy of traveling around the world is in many of us. Not all of us want to be culture shocked, or go to completely foreign lands. We all have different perspectives when traveling. Here, I'll be speaking on my own perspectives.

Simple Living
Three years ago I wandered into one of many of life's crossroads. My roommate and I had to leave the apartment in which we had been living. We are both in our sixties, and it was an alright place for us to be. Granted, it was a basement apartment and the mold situation had made both of us sick on occasion. But, the landlord had finally installed a dehumidifier and that seemed to take care of the problem.

Coming Home
Leaving your country for the first time might be one of the hardest things you have ever done. Scratch that. Every time you leave is hard. You go away for some long term travel, for a gap year, to work. You begin your adventure, your terrifying and exciting journey, in the first weeks, even months of a new start, in a new place, alone. Everything is new, odd, weird, fantastic. As soon as you step out of the airport, it's like the air smells different, the sun is not the same, and the possibilities are infinite.

Mountains, Beach, or Moon
I was thinking about what I should write about. I thought about answering a question. I looked up online and found this question. Thought it would be cool to answer. Would you rather live in the mountains, on the beach, or on the moon? Why? That's a good question.
