The travel itch

Next year I graduate. Its my time to have "Freedom". My best friend; Cara, and I have always wanted to travel after we finish school. Although surching the internet for RTW tickets is harder than it sounds. Iv tryed LOTS of different sites but they all seem to be UK websites. That isnt much help for me, living in British Columbia. We were thinking that we would start in Europe and travel all around there. Fron there we want to travel down to a few places in Africa. Later we would like to travel into Asia, down to Australia and then to New Zealand. Then we would fly back over the pacific ocean back home. I know it sounds like a lot to cover; and it is, but we both really want to go travel the world. and when we say world, we dont mean just a couple locations in the world, we mean all around the world! One thing I would really like to do while traveling is to see the 7 natural, and ancient wonders of the world. well good luck to me later in life. Iv got a lot of traveling to do! Traveling is not easy. You think that you can just pack your things and catcha plain, its not that easy. You have to plan everything. were you are going to sleep, eat, shots, what attractions you want to see, activities you want to do, plan and manage yor money. Its hard work. But I think if you can manage all of that before you even leave home you are going to have a great time traveling. But there is nothing that can pepare you for culture shock. Traveling in strange places were you do not know how to read, write, or speek their language. You are a stranger in their territory. They are the locals and you are the freak tourists. Now I think that is the hardest thing to do when traveling, communication. Being a student I think that traveling is the greatest thing that you could ever do. I am a student and after 12 years of school do not want to go to school for another 4 years. Thats 16 years of school and learning. Thats just too much, you need to have a break and experience the real world. Not what is just in the small town outside the school classroom window. There is so much more to life that just school and grades. well I think Ill leave this right there. If your going traveling and you are reading this, do everything you can to have the greatest time of your life. Experience different cultures, eat strange food, make some friends! Experience life.
