“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta. It was the summer of 2017 and my family which consisted of my mom, somewhat-dad, and sister decided that we felt like we needed to get out of town and eclipse our normal vacation routine. Our normal vacation would be to go to Spirit Lake, but we wanted to do more than that. This experience is important to me because I spent time with my family, found out I enjoyed going on hikes, and I saw great, inimitable beauty in nature. Of course, every trip begins with the travel to get to that location. On the way up to the Black Hills in South Dakota, my family and I played many games; from sudoku to how many state license plates we could find. We saw many license plates along the way but since we did not find all, we decided that we would continue our search later. Once we began to reach our destination, near the Black Hills, I noticed how peerless the Black Hills was to the normal corn and bean fields I always see. I see all the trees and nature and feel excited to go on a hike. When we arrive at our camp we set up our campsite and cook food to eat before we head to bed. When we all wake and eat our breakfast we pack our Dodge pickup and prepare to head out to sightsee. First, …show more content…
I have never seen nature this impeccable. On the hike, I got to see a tree called a lover’s tree where part of it looks like a heart. Many people carve their initials onto the tree and I think that those initials add value to the tree. As we continue our hike we step over tree roots, go up steep hills needing to be careful not trip and roll down the steep side, and we crossed the river, at least, more than five times. When you cross the river it’s best to wear proper shoes or you may slip off a rock or log and fall into the river. The river is not deep and it is okay to walk in, but if you don’t want to get your feet wet then this is not the hike for
Experiences of journeys provide insights into the lives of individuals and the world around them
I would like to dedicate this book to my parents, D Paul and Judy. My love of art and travel, as well as my sense of determination comes directly from them, and I love them deeply for it. I would also like to thank my supportive husband, Jason, without whom I would be lost and adrift. My friend and publisher, Kemberlee, has given me much support and inspiration, as well.

The traveler goes somewhere because there is something there to see or learn, and his reports of his goings-on are centered upon what is there and its relationships to ideas. The purpose of a trip for such a person is to learn, and also allow others to learn from what findings the person observes. While many people have never traveled around the world, they may still be aware of what is going on there,...
Nature can keep its blissful purity untroubled in the moment, not convicted by what all society has brought into this world. Furthermore, many find nature as their safe place, the one place they can go too, and no one can interfere with their happiness. John Muir and William Wordsworth noticed the peaceful nature brought to their soul when traveling on their journey. Do not let your hands be weak, for you shall be rewarded.” – 2 Chronicles 15:7 John Muir and William Wordsworth both faced challenges to get to where they were going.
"mmm" regularly traveling is what I desired to do my entire life, except I've never been capable of.This is excellent to follow what people's. lives are and what places there are.I admire geography and how it influences their lives and our lives.Knowing places like Australia would make you fully understand why it is
Growing up in Midwest America, there is not much to look at. The trees, fields of grass, rolling hills, and small towns offer a dull environment for a teenager. There are hardly any monuments, sculptures, or architectural feats to gaze at in admiration. Ultimately, the Midwest appears very mundane. This monotonous landscape seems to push the idea of a typical lifestyle of conformity; one that customarily consists of attending school, finding a career, and settling down with a family. To fully procure an awareness and acceptance of different lifestyles, one must travel. Whether from town to town or on the other side of the planet, traveling allows a person to see the different cultures, beliefs, and beauties that make up our world; I believe in traveling.
Being in the wild is a great experience, it opens doors and bridges inside one’s mind. It allows people to be inspired, to find hope. It gives people a sense of direction and helps people conquer challenges that they never thought they would achieve. The example left behind by a young man named Christopher McCandless in Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer demonstrates how living on the road and surviving off the land can prove to be a pilgrimage and help enlighten others to go out in search of their own philosophical ideals. Whether it is being away from home and travel all across America, not settling down in one place, but staying long enough in one place and have an affect on someone else, or being with your family hiking up a mountain and be able to look at the scenery that nature brought forth.
That desire to go where no one has ever been before is inside of all of us. All of us enjoy exploring new teritory that we have never been on before. It’s that thrill and excitement that fills our heart and soles.
I love traveling and being one with nature. In my early years, I was known for being a showgirl. I traveled from place to place meeting and seeing great things; however, now in my old age, i am still traveling just not at the same pace and not for the same reasons. Throughout this long journey, I have learned many lessons and have witnessed many miracles. However, the most important and memorable lesson I have learned was from three young men.
One could become receptive when looking at pictures and comments of people that are experiencing the journey. It makes the public part of the experience without having to be present, yet it is also provokes the mind to want to experience such a magnificent journey. Social media enables one to be part of the experience; even though, one might have not met the person on the journey. Yet his/her trip brings a sense of unity and tranquility.
There is nothing quite like traveling, going someplace new and finding out more about the world and yourself. Anyone can become a traveler it just takes a little bit of faith and courage. Traveling across the world or even across the country is a learning experience. When you are a traveler you see how people live and how different cultures work. It is the best educational experience you could give yourself. You see how the world works in a way no one can teach you. Seeing different cultures and people help build the person you want to be. If you are a traveler the world influences you, because when traveling, you see the good and the bad, and you learn from the right and the wrong. I am very lucky that I am able to be a traveler and see this
I have not had many meaningful moments with nature, even though I have many encounters with it. But the encounter that is the most prevalent in my mind is my vacation at Willow Lake, Minnesota. Here I had encounters with nature on the water, out bike riding, and watching a storm come in the distance.
One of the most enjoyable things in life are road trips, particularly to the Colorado mountains. Getting to spend time with your family and friends, while being in a beautiful place, is irreplaceable. The fifteen-hour road trip may feel never-ending, but gazing at the mountains from afar makes life’s problems seem a little smaller and causes worries to become a thing of the past. Coming in contact with nature, untouched, is a surreal experience. My family trip to the Colorado mountains last summer was inspiring.
The world is a magnificent place that’s full of life and new places. Places that are waiting to be walked upon and viewed by the eye’s of travelers. To make new memories and go places that is beyond the walls of reality and new pathways of life. To truly experience the wonders that the world has to offer can be expressed by the life of one single person, setting off into the world to gain a higher purpose about the world. Traveling individually enables people to broaden their minds and accumulate new ideas and new experiences both nationally and internationally. By setting off into the world a person has the ability to learn so many new things, but also find so much about themselves while in the process of traveling.
