I was supposed to review for my Biology exam and do a little practice exercises for my Accounting class but then when I'm browsing my Twitter account, I "bumped" into several photos of different countries. I am a Tourism major and I chose to be one because I love places! I want to travel, I want to experience different cultures, I want to see the whole world! However, I was born in a not-so-fortunate- family. I have classmates who already traveled abroad at their young age and until now even some of them are not yet working... But let me focus on my "dream of travelling the world", shall we? Haha.
So I have no means of going to Vietnam in a Friday morning then drift to Thailand after 5 days. When I saw that photo of campers in Mt. Kilimanjaro and that sunset shot in Paris, I was suddenly engrossed on this thought that soon, after I finish my college degree, I can finally travel the whole world. I imagined myself roaming around the narrow streets of Morocco, taking pictures of Norwegian fjords or visiting Buddhist temples in Cambodia. Oh, God! I don't dream of becoming a legendary person or even making a name in my chosen industry. I don't even dream of becoming so filthy rich, just rich (if there's a difference between them). I just want to travel the whole world with him, with my mom, with my entire family, with my closest friends or just me- nope, not just me. That's lonesome. Haha.
Then I came to my proclamataion, self-proclamation! I swear to God and to all the other forces of the world created by Him, I'm gonna work my ass so hard, I'm gonna save a lot of money so that by the age of 24, 4 years from now, I can finally start to cross out countries in my bucket list. Sure I can travel abroad while I'm still studying like youth camps or exchange student programs, but what I want is for me to travel "freely". I want to be an explorer, I want to be a backpacker, I want to drift from one country to another, I want to be alive.
I can't wait to take photos of these places that I want to visit. I can't wait to see the smiles in my family's faces when we land into an alien country, I can't wait to kiss him outside this country. Yes, I am a wanderlust.
That's my goal - for now.
