"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page."
Saint Augustine
The "Where"
I find great joy in exploring diverse destinations, from bustling metropolises to tranquil villages tucked away in remote corners of the world. The excitement of exploring vibrant cities with their busy streets and towering buildings is captivating. At the same time, I find peace and beauty in the simplicity of remote villages surrounded by stunning natural landscapes. These hidden gems allow me to immerse myself in local traditions, connect with the warm-hearted residents, and witness a simpler way of life. Each place I visit offers unique experiences and perspectives, expanding my understanding of the world and leaving a lasting impact on me.
Traveling holds immense importance in my life as it adds tremendous value to my personal growth. It broadens my horizons by exposing me to diverse cultures, traditions, and ways of life. It helps me break free from my comfort zone and embrace new experiences, fostering a sense of openness and adaptability. Through travel, I gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the world's diversity, which in turn enhances my empathy and tolerance towards others. I like to diversify places I go to, from big European countries like UK, France and Spain to smaller towns in the middle of China like outskirts of Yangshuo, Dali and Guilin. I am the kind of person who is very comfortable and willing to put herself in new and exciting situations, such as going to a small village in a country where I don't know the language very well and figuring my way out. Being in Southeast Asia has given me ample opportunity to do so. Traveling to small villages and towns in Asia offers a chance to experience rich cultural immersion, genuine interactions, stunning natural beauty, a slower-paced lifestyle, and unique local cuisine. It unveils a different side of Asia, allowing for a deeper understanding and appreciation of the region's diversity and charm.
