Travel is Essential

/

Why do I recommend traveling? It’s probably one of my most fulfilling hobbies. Planning the trip, waiting for the trip, and then finally flying to your destination. I get excited thinking about it!

The reason I travel is for the experience. Each country, city, and state are unique in their own ways, but international travel is the most rewarding. Living in America, there are lots of people doing fairly well, but visiting countries where people may not even make $5 an hour is very humbling. You start to appreciate the multitude of things we, as Americans, have access to. In Cancun, I felt a glimpse of the Mexican culture. We tried different foods (Pescadillas, shark meat, was my favorite) and listened to Spanish music. I even learned a little more Spanish. Travel can be costly, but why spend money on material things when you can spend money on an experience? Plus, it forces us to venture outside of our comfort zone. The best of you never grows inside your comfort zone!

This was my second time in Cancun. Both trips were completely different but amazing experiences. If you haven’t already, take a look at my blog on my first trip to Cancun.

We stayed at the all-inclusive Crown Paradise Club, which offered a variety of restaurants/bar options (honestly some great, and some not so great), a comfortable clean room, and great scenery. During the trip, we partied at Wet n’ Wild for Cancun Jumpoff, visited some local restaurants, and drove jet ski’s/ATV’s. Besides my 21st birthday in Miami, this was probably one of my best trips!
