When I am feeling bored and stressed I try to have some fun, but what i like to best, the thing that is the most fun for me is to travel. Seeing new places and experiencing their unique qualities is what I enjoy most because I don't see it everyday, for instance I can't explore underwater coral reefs in california ocean or snowboard down a hill in Ventura...well i guess i could but it wouldnt be very good for either me or the snowboard but anyways its those kinds od things that make traveling that much fun for me. When i wake up in the morning I am not greeted with the sound of a lion roaring or that of waves crashing outside of my room or even the sound of birds chirping, instead im greeted with a loud blaring alarm clock of whoms kneecaps I would like to break and face i wish to swiftly kick and i can escape these petty annoyances when im traveling I can just get away from it all.

There are lots of cool places you can visit some of them cool and excotic and some times going to beach for a weekend can be traveling or even to the middle of no where. I go every year to a place called trape maryland and it is literally in the middle of nowhere but i still manage to have a ton of fun there, For instance i cant hop into the back of a pick-up go to the end of my back yard acres away and go fishing off a dock with my cousins in my bakck yard hear in ventura and its this kind of thing that makes traveling so great for me, just being out there its like bliss for me.

Despite the fact that going on vacations and traveling is so freaking awsome i still meet people who have never even been out of the state and hardly go anywhere at all and its really a bummer because its so much fun. So what im saying is go out and see new things broaden your horizens and live a little because you only live once and i think everyone would be happier if they just goto see the world a bit.
