What a great BIG world!

                                          
         There have been lots of times where I have daydreamed of traveling to other countries. The world consists of so many different places, people, cuisines, cultures, and climates that I just want to visit them all. Many people never even leave the country they were born in; some, if they live in America, may never leave the state in which they live! It is sad to think that there is so much out there to behold and many people will never have the chance to see even a snippet of it. I have been to only a few countries so far: England, France, and Guyana, yet, it is my dream that one day I may have the opportunity to visit many more regions all around our awesome globe. There is so much to see and experience and I can only imagine the excitement future travels hold for me. I look forward to the people I will meet, the places I will see, the foods I will taste, the memories I will make, and the inspiration I will gain while doing something that will give me great joy: seeing the world.

  2. I would definitely love to travel more. With a TESOL background you can probably work in a different country each year. What an amazing time that would be.
