Watch out for those glaciers, black bears, wolves, never ending highways, fish, and maybe even some falling Northern Lights.
Have you guessed yet where I'm taking you this week?
Well, pack up those rain jackets and make sure you got your hiking boots because we're going to Alaska!
...yes, you heard that right.
I've heard from friends and family that the cruise to Alaska was the BEST cruise or vacation they have ever been on. After being to 24 states, I've figured it's time I make my way to the northernest city in the United States, Barrow, Alaska.
Why do I want to go there you're probably wondering?
ice fishing. national parks. northern lights. tiny towns. air tours. never ending highways. seafood.
Have I got you interested in Alaska yet?
Well if not, I'm sorry for your loss of the beautiful sights and I will be sure to share my pictures with you when I finally get there someday!
Safe Travels...
So as you know, any chance you get to travel around the world is a great opportunity to take. But I don't think people feel the same way about traveling inside the United States. Most people you talk to consider traveling to be going across the world and experiencing new cultures or ways of living, very little people talk about the different cultures they have experiences within the country. I think that it is just as important to take the opportunities to travel within the U.S. as it is to travel outside of the U.S.
Being able to see 24 out of 50 states has opened my eyes to new cultures just as much as traveling to Guatemala or Aruba has. So why is it that people don't take advantage of this opportunity to travel to states? Well America is looked at as all the same culture and type of people, but I can tell you first hand that is not right at all. Just to name a few places like Georgia, Maine, New York, and Nevada, all have completely different cultures and way of life then I am used to in good old Pennsylvania.
Traveling develops your thoughts and lets you experience things you wouldn't have otherwise experienced. You embrace new cultures that make your country whole, and are better able to understand the country you live in. Not only are you experiencing new cultures but you are seeing new beautiful scenary that lets you appreciate your country like you may not have before. I know when I traveled to Nevada and Arizona and got to experience the Hoover Dam, I was amazed and stunned by the beauty of the nature and land that this country has.
So get out there and discover all that there is to see in the country. Don't hold yourself back from, let yourself be free and learn new things.
