Travel enriches my life.

"A breathtaking picture like this always marvels me for a long while. Meanwhile, I am lost in my imagination."

    I am addicted to traveling. 

    Living in the boisterous downtown, we barely have time to pay attention to the tranquil and peaceful nature--- turquoise ocean, lofty trees, and fragrant blossoms. We are prone to neglect those terrific subtle and tiny happiness around us. In turn, under heavy stress, we sometimes find ourselves pathetic and cynical, confusing about what we are living for. In order to ease the pressure-burdened life, traveling is the best remedy in my point of view. It adjusts my living pace and makes me contemplate over some preconceived thoughts. Traveling enriches my spirit and provides me with brand-new perspectives and inspirations toward the whole world. Apart from that, what I gain from traveling is that I know myself better.Through every journey, I learn a lot and most important of all, I find myself, the truest one.

   


I have a strong aspiration for discovering the world. 

   


    What I am trying to say is that traveling always strikes a chord in my mind. It is like a beacon that guides me when I am in bewilderment and frustration. Through broadening my horizons, I am able to view the world with various angles, while it also reminds me that there a lot more for me to explore. The outer world is always changing and all I need to do is to learn how to go with the flow. As the saying goes, "traveling is the best teacher." Indeed! What it teaches is not the knowledge in textbooks but the entire universe itself. Nature is itself the knowledge, an invaluable asset to all human beings and we should all cherish it. Additionally, traveling elevates our soul to a greater spirit. Our spirit has been purified and transform into a better one.

    Traveling has numerous advantages that lead us to our well-being. Meeting different ethnics, experiencing diverse cultures and speaking different languages always make me excited and thrilled.With eagerness to explore the nature, the pure splendid scenery sublimes and enhances my mind to a certain degree.

    In Canada, staying in a boarding house, I learn how to live like a Canadian. Respect their cultures and exploring pristine beauty of nature, which I have never seen before. 

    I am so honored to have a feast to my eyes! 
    I love traveling so much. It brings me surprises and tears in astonishment. 

    

     In Australia, I learn how to be a backpacker. Doing research on my own and planning schedules every day. 
    The slow pace and carefree way the Aussies lead makes me rethink my lifestyle in Taiwan. Why couldn't I let go of annoying nuisance and just live simple?
    

    
    
    Traveling is not necessary about going to a certain place or attaining a certain goal because what matters is actually the thing we learn from which. Always open our mind and embrace every possibility or episode that occurs. It is the process that counts, not the destination. We are given the chance to communicate with our inner voice. Let inner voice tell us what to do and what kind of life we would like to live.

Be in the moment and smell the roses!

Enjoy your life!

     
    At last, I would like to share a straightforward yet profound poem with you all:

"To see a world in a grain of sand,

 And a heaven in a wild flower,

 Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,

 And eternity in an hour."

                            William Blake
