What is a Good Traveler?
I think I'm a fairly good traveler. Why? I just like to travel so much, I work for it. Whenever I go someplace, I like to walk around aimlessly for an hour or two with no set destination. Other times I just ask locals what they like to do in their free time. In my opinion, a good traveler doesn't only travel to see the sights, but to learn; about the country, its people, or even him/herself. Evertime I travel I learn something new about myself. Its one of the reasons I travel; to see the world in a new perspective and to see myself in a new perspective. I have always wanted to travel by myself. Right now I am alittle too young for that, but sometime in the future I want to do a backpacking-type trip. I know I am not the best traveler, but with time I think i will be. I need to be more outgoing and open to strange things before i am ready to be a solo traveler. I think i am a great traveler with a group because i know there is always somebody around in which i can go to for help. My goal is to be a traveler that can survive withot relying on others, just myself. Also a good traveler should love to fly. I do love to fly. For most of my childhood, Ohare airport was my favoite place in Chicago. A good traveler should be able to stay in even the most modest of hotels. Because in reality, a good traveler isn't in his/her room for long. You must be ready for even the most unexpected things to happen. Im not quite at that level, but i hope to be soon.
Today was the excursion day! We found out at around 7 that whale watching was canceled because of bad weather. So instead, we went to Patty's market! the bottom of the market was filled with people sellings things. They had souvenirs to actual clothing! The best part is that you were able to haggle for what you wanted! I was able to buy all the souvenirs i needed, and then we went upstairs. the top was filled with really cute stores and i bought even more! Then we had freetime at the rocks and i had a lovely lunch of italian pizza. It was great! After that, we still had free time so we just wandered. We got to see Sticky's! Best candy of my life, and they made it right in front of us. We went to the aquarium and headed over to the harbor. The light show was beautiful and we saw some techno didgeridoo-ers! then we went to the hotel, and some of us went out to get food. I got some Pad Thai! (:
