Travel

Travel is a big topic. I have much to say about it. But at this moment, I am alone and am talking with myself, so this post about travel will be more intrapersonal. I like travel. I've learned much from travel. Actually I am not a girl who likes reading books and talks much with others except close friends. I am more interested in what I can really see and experience and learn unconsciously from that. So travel could be a suitable way for me to learn much about the world, the society and people. There is a Chinese saying "walking thousands of miles, reading thousands of books." it means as much you've traveled, more knowledge and information you will get. Such as reading a lot of books. I've traveled some places in the world and have experienced other cultures. I know how big the world is and how other people's lives are. This helps with my own life. I will figure out more clearly about what I am alive for, what I want, what happy life is and even how I can achieve it. This seems nothing with travel. But for me, it does. Even though I am dynamic and energetic in crowds but I am intrapersonal. I always like thinking. Especially when some visual images in travel touchs my sensitive mind. Travel can bring me new experience and unlimited surprise. Even at this moment, while I am lying on bed in my apartment in New York, I am typing my post on iPad,I treat this a kind of travel, long term travel. Isn't it? I will benefit from this long term travel in my whole life. and I am.

  1. Hi Yang,

    It's nice to know, that now you can consider New York as home. For me also I had the same experience but only after four times to go out and come back only in March I could say to my husband that was already accustomed with this crowed city. It's nice that you can share these experiences with us. Welcome back.
    See you soon,

  2. Hi Yang,

    I really like the Chinese saying that you shared! Does it also mean that when you have read thousands of books, it is as if you have traveled thousands of miles?
