6 Trips A Girl Must Take

They say, and I quote

“Travel is the only things that you buy, that makes you richer.”

The statement can’t be more true, with the world that it opens up, travel teaches, explores, and educates us in ways nothing can. Travel has a different meaning or reason for everyone, but it always also manages to evoke something unique in each one of us. We all have our preferred ways of traveling, but some experiences are unique and unforgettable…

Carry me dear world
Carry me afar
So the mind opens to your wisdom
and the heart rejoices to your power
May the soul connect with your beat
and dances in joy
Together we beat as one
Together we shine under
the blanket of the midnight sky…

1. THE SOLO TRIP – A solo trip can be invigorating. Some fear it, many love it, and some just don’t find them worthy enough. But once in your life experience it! The joy of your solitude, the buzz of doing just what you want to do, a fun conversation with a stranger at a cafe, or a simply the joy of your own company. Nothing can make you more comfortable with your own self than being comfortable alone in a new place, and top that up with experiencing a new world, culture, food, places, and sights.
