Global learning
My life goal is to travel to every country in the World. Now it depends who you ask about the exact number of countries in the world. The total value varies; Some countries claim that they are a separate entity but the UN has a different idea. I've travelled to 25 countries so I'm behind because I am 28.
I started travelling in grade 11 with an exchange to FRANCE! My host family lived just outside of Paris. Then I went to Costa Rica with a biology class and I caught the bug! The travel bug!
I bought a ticket to Africa one year after graduation and had a planned 3 months stop over in Europe!
Netherlands
Germany
Austria
Czech Republic
Slovakia
Slovenia
Hungary
Croatia
Italy
Switzerland
France
Belgium
United Kingdom
Greece
South Africa
Namibia
Zimbabwe
Zambia
Botswana
Costa Rica
Cuba
Nicaragua
Mexico
Jamaica
U.S.A.
Most recently I have back packed around Jamaica and ate my weight in jerk Chicken!
I added Nicaragua to the list in 2012 when I went to little corn island to learn how to scuba dive. Humans are not meant to breathe under water but my love for marine invertebrates outweighed that fear.
I will always want to travel and I think everyone should experience travelling. It exposes you and helps you to discover your core values. When you travel you strip away our daily routine and identity; you don't have anything holding you down and you can be anybody.
That is exciting and then scary when you have to figure out who you are. What are the values that make you who you are? How do you introduce yourself? What have you done in your life that you are proud of?
Travelling and exploring is great when you have been disconnected from 'yourself' for too long. It allows you time and space to reevaluate who YOU are.
