Something About Me

Something about me is that I have always wanted to travel. I would love to be able to see the world, and all of the great wonders that it has. I would love to visit Greece, because I have some family background from there. Not to mention that the scenery looks absolutely breathtaking! The cliffs on the coastline overlooking the ocean, and the white and blue buildings are what I find so scenic.

I would especially love to visit the island of Santorini 

Another reason I'd love to travel is to be able to experience as many different cultures around the world as I can, because I think it's a great thing to be appreciative of other people's views on the world. For example, a while ago I learned about a festival that happens in parts of India (and elsewhere) called Holi. It is a few days where everyone- even people you don't know in the streets- chase each other around and throw paint and coloured powder at each other. What I think is so great about this is that it's just about people having fun, and it closes the gap between the rich and the poor since everyone is throwing paint! There is a good article here that explains the festival.

Another travel destination that is on my list of places to hopefully visit one day is Portugal. My parents have been there many years ago, and it sounds like a beautiful place to go! In particular, the hiking is supposed to be fabulous, and very scenic. I love being outdoors, and hiking through the Portuguese landscape would just be an experience of a lifetime.
