"This summer we are going to [enter exotic locale]." And that's the words I heard my father say every year since I was 10. He had a passion to see the world, and share that experience with his family. Because of him, I have been to over 15 countries in my short lifetime. Today he is no more, but his travel streak remains with me. I wish to continue his journey of exploring this beautiful planet that I live on, and to absorb as much of the rich cultural diversity Earth has to offer me.
