Travel

 By: Deanne G. Velasco

Everyone, once in a while must travel, going on an adventure is something worthwhile, of course you don’t want to stay in one place for the rest of your life right? I think this is one of the things you must to do before you die. For those who haven’t gone on a trip, to live life fuller I suggest you do, for those who have, congratulations, keep travelling, moving and getting it on.

There is beauty, simplicity and art that life has so much to offer.

Taking an escapade into a world never seen by you, somewhere that is foreign to you is a breath of fresh air. It’s relaxing. Some people travel everyday because it’s their job, or part of their job, none the less it is still a wonderful thing to experience. How amazing is it that there are places beyond our imagination, what we think that would not exist actually exists, like the beautiful trees of Wisteria Japan, Mayan pyramids, Madagascar forests  and even a lake with naturally pink water called the Pink Hutt Lagoon in Australia. It is not enough tosee these places in picture, we must see it in real life for this is the essence of life, experiencing things that makes us alive.

When you see yourself in the shoes of the different people, you take a glance of their way of life and gain understanding which makes you a wiser and better person.  Where ever you go or where ever your feet may take you, it is important to experience.

Knowing the history, value and principles of the people and places we visit, makes an impact on our lives, we learn something different everytime we travel.  Like a different culture whether it be Indian, Chinese, Greek, Spanish,Russian or Kazakhstan, this nurtures our spirit, we become closer to God. There are  different temples, mountains and sacred places we can pray and talk to Godin various parts of the world, you can also visit the monks who are separated from the material world,  Dalai Lamas who claim they remember who they were in their past lives and  even Buddhist temples.

Learning about different religions, practices, traditions and the food! Aww the food, just thinking about how food tastes like in another country is like discovering electricity. Food here in the Philippines is great but exotic food is the bomb.

 We are free juvenile spirits. So we must, live eat and pray. That is all.
