Being a first time international traveler can be an exciting, beautiful, exhausting and an amazing journey anyone could ever wish for. It is a lifetime opportunity and experience that tends to open more doors for individuals. Meeting new people, making friends with people from different cultures, which leads to long-lasting connections and becoming family. Traveling is one of the most things I enjoy doing, having to learn how other countries operate and live, how people from other countries survive. Growing from a disadvantage community can come with a lot of difficulties, but we take that as our advantage. It motivates us, to dream big and be an inspiration to others and show others that, you can travel anywhere in this world even the society is expecting us not to dream big, not to have vision to explore and see other beautiful countries. We have been programmed to think inside the box, not to dream beyond the sky. Sometimes in life, one should take advantage for every opportunity that comes their way, and prove to themselves that they are capable of anything that they put their minds into and that become an inspiration to other young individuals who go through difficulties in their life, they will learn that anything is possible. Traveling international for the first time is a challenge, because one has to be cautious, attentive and vigilant all the time. There is always a first time for everything, people need to think out of the box, expand themselves, have bigger goals and dreams, have the urge to explore and to never limit themselves. Everyone is capable of bigger things, we shouldn’t limit ourselves when it comes to visioning ourselves. Passion leads to success, we should not feel discouraged to have biggest vision about our lives, we were all born to create our own reality. Never let anyone dim your life. Shine bright like a diamond and strive beyond the sky, as sky is never you limit. It is said, “difficult roads often leads to beautiful destinations.”
