Why must travel be so expensive?
Sometimes I just want to leave everything and travel around the world, absorb all these new sighs, sounds, cultures, foods, ways of life. But I don’t have thousands and thousands of dollars lying around to do this. The need to travel and explore is sometimes so strongly embedded into my heart that not being able to depresses me greatly.
Some day, I tell myself. Some day I’ll fulfill my dreams.
I get bored easily. I lose interest easily. Life can go from vibrant to dull in a matter of days. I often dislike change when it is change that is holding me down.
I crave knowledge, language, literature, tastes, smells, and sounds from different parts of the world.
I often ask myself why knowledge is so costly. The average person cannot merely board a plane or a boat and sail away to educate themselves on different cultures. You’re either born privileged or you’re born with the means to become privileged.
It seems like such a shame that the wanderlust of so many individuals will never be satisfied due to the chains of society.
