"I feel about airplanes the way I feel about ice cream. It seems to me that they are wonderful things for other people to go on."
Since then, traveling has always been my dream. The simple hikes along the mountain trails and in the wilds with my Father had always left a joy in my heart. I believed that whenever we move closer on top of the mountains, I'd be near enough to the clouds where the rainbow sits patiently- for I used to believe that reaching the rainbow can make your dreams and wishes come true.
I could remember not spending my school allowances just to save for something I have been dying to buy- a toy airplane and a toy car which I saw at the small toy shop nearby. my parents were surprised when they saw me playing with my "dream toys" one day and asked me where did I get the money. Young as I was, I just smiled and told them: " I just bought these toys because I planned buying them from my savings".
Those were the exact lines I told my parents. I could vividly remember telling those words to them which made me realize one important lesson: that when you dream, you'd always find ways to make it real.
Yes, we all have been dreaming to travel the whole world and I, myself, is not an exemption. I feel about airplanes the way I feel about ice cream. It seems to me that they are wonderful things for other people to go on. Sounds too impossible to accomplish but I truly believe that when you work hard for it, everything will just fall into place.
Now that I grow a bit older, I know I can reach greater heights with the many places I plan to travel. My younger days had made me the person I am today- positively ambitious and vigorously determined just like when I first bought and tasted ice cream-coated lollipops from all the savings I have kept at school.
Yes, I may sound daydreaming but for me, it won't be long that I could tell all of you how much passion I'd take on for discovering the world.
My travel begins here and you'll be with me in this great journey experience called LIFE.
