BEDA April 14

Today's theme: travel.

Here's the thing. In theory, I am in love with travel. Really. I love the idea to death. I love the idea of going to amazing new places, learning amazing new things, and meeting amazing new people. In theory, I want to travel all over the world, as often as I can.

In reality, all my experiences with travel-not that great. I hate car rides. They make me sick to my stomach, they're boring and smelly, my legs get cramps. I don't like being away from home; I always forget to pack something vital like a razor or my glasses and then I can't just, go home and get it. I often feel ill when on vacation away from home, (maybe it's a psychological thing?) and it SUCKS being sick in a hotel or someone else's house. By the time I get home I'm pretty much crying with relief.

The reason for this reality is probably because I'm doing the wrong kind of travel. I'm only 17 so most of the traveling I've done has been with my family. We drive down to Florida every other Christmas, and 22 hours in the car with my family is no picnic. Plus my dad falls violently ill while we're there EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. so at this point in my life I all but hate Florida.

I have only taken two trips without my parents, one trip down to Florida (Disney world) with my friends in 5th grade, and another trip with those SAME friends again to Florida last year. And both were fun. So come to think of it, I think my family is the main factor in my distaste for travel.

Still, I hope to travel a lot more with out my family in the future. I would love to visit Europe again (last time was in 3rd grade, I didn't really appreciate it then) especially now that I have friends there! =] Hopefully I get to go to Europe for study abroad in college 2 years from now. I really want to see California, and some southern states, and of course see all the cities in the East. And it's always been my dream as a little girl to visit Australia.

That's all I have, time to attack that homework.

Oh and sorry for missing days again....school's a bitch.

Anna out, bitches.
