Traveling

Traveling has become one of my favorite things to do. I've been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to travel to various places. What I love most about traveling and exploring different countries and cities, is that I'm able to completely immerse myself into these foreign communities by interacting with the local people, and grasping an understanding about the way others live. It's very interesting to me how we perceive what “normal” life might be here in the United States. Different cultures have different protocols and structures within their community. That’s what fascinates me the most, learning how others live, day to day. The Caribbean is probably my favorite place to visit. Everyone is super laid back, there’s no rush, and I feel as if they truly enjoy each day to the fullest. Oh, and they are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Until next time, be nice to everyone, you never know what they may be going through.
