Summer Traveler

A girl in pigtails once said "There's no place like home." but that's all she was: a girl. A girl who,even though she was creative enough to create this dream world of Oz, she couldn't possibly fathom the places in reality she could visit instead of going home.

In Looking For Alaska by John Green, a man's last words were "I go to seek a great perhaps." Miles' goal was to seek one while he was still alive. He achieved that, but like me, he didn't achieve it at home. He went to unfamiliar places and met unfamiliar people and found his great perhaps. That's why I started traveling in the first place: There weren't any great perhaps at home. I needed to get out of that place and i needed adventure adrenaline and art. That was my motto as a teenager: Adventure. Adrenaline. Art. That was all I ever wanted, and let me tell you, in the traveling life, that's all I ever got.

Adventure:

• I once scaled the heights of Mount Kilamonjaro just to see the world from a better perspective.

• I flew to Madrid and backpacked across Spain for the sheer pleasure.

• I stepped out of my comfort zone and fell in love which was the greatest adventure of all.

Adrenaline:

• I fought alongside the people I loved and against the people I thought I had.

• I visited every major amusement park in America, France, Ireland, United Kindom, Greece, and Spain.

• I met some of the most wonderful people, the most intriguing people, the most hateful people, and of course, the most loving, adorable, sweet people.

• I traveled to find myself, which was the most intimidating adrenaline rushes of my entire life.

Art:

• I danced every dance I could learn in every country I went to.

• I made love an art. Love was once an emotion, but now it is an art. The art of loving someone is the most beautiful piece you could ever wish to accomplish.

• I made music in each of these countries with different instruments in each one.

• I found myself in a world where being yourself is the most complicated adrenaline-filled artistic adventurous journey anyone will ever face.

This is my story as a Summer Traveler.
