The best advice I was ever given was right after I left private school and had an empty summer with nothing planned. My uncle told me to use my free time to travel and see different parts of the world. Luckily for me my parents agreed and let me choose a destination. I chose Australia and New Zealand and the next year I chose South Africa. These trips have changed who I am as a person and through my travels I have learned about different cultures and how countries work. I always think back to my uncle opening up the idea of travel for me and I always am glad he gave me the speech. I can't imagine my life without traveling and will always do my best to continue seeing the world.
