The Importance of Travel

Everyone should travel at least 10 times in their lives. If you dont get out there you wont know what our world is about. You can travel all over texas and still discover five or so different environments and cultures. When i was young my parents took my sister and i RV-ing ALL THE TIME. Yeah it might sound fun now but back then it was dumb and embarrassing. Kids would ask me in middle school "where are you going for spring break" and i would answer under my breath "grand canyon...again" they would just stare at me like i was some dumb mouse trying to get out of a bucket. Personally, i think that they looked at me that way out of jealousy but i didn't see it that way back then. Now, i love my parents for hauling my sister and I all over the U.S. on those super long RV rides and all the sketchy RV parks we had to stay at. i really think travelling as a family has kept our love-bond very strong and it has given us knowledge of where we live. Out of all the places i have visited my favorite places would have be Las Vegas and Montana. When i think of RV-ing these two place stick out like a sore thumb in my mind. Las Vegas was amazing because as a small kid coming into sin city it is definitely an eye opener from the small boring town i come from. As for Montana, it was a rich taste of the true forrest and wilderness that every human reverts back to. No sky rises, only log cabins, and tons of wildlife. The air in Montana is so clean that i swear someone could add years to their lives just by simply breathing. On these trips i have learned many things about the native americans of New Mexico area,the old west like Tombstone AZ, and learn to get along with my baby sister on 10 hours road trips. If i had a billion gazillion dollars i would buy everyone on the plant a trip out of their state of providence just to go out and appreciate what else is in this world.
