When I have the chance, I love to travel overseas. Visiting another country gives me an incredible rush of culture shock! It reminds me that there’s so much more to the world than my hometown. I tap into my sense of exploration and curiosity, experiencing freedom and personal growth. I enjoy adapting to new environments and learning about myself, others, and different cultures. I created this list to offer some guidance for those new to traveling. It can feel overwhelming and frustrating when you’re not sure where to start, so I want to share what I’ve learned from my own experiences. Happy traveling—go out and explore this big, beautiful world!
