Travel Essay: The Means Of Travel: Meaning To Escape Life

925 Words4 Pages

Mark Twain said,”twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the things you did do . So throw of the bowlines , sail away from the safe harbour . Catch the trade winds in your sales. Explore . Dream. Discover.” Travelling can be many complicated things but then again it can be just one simple thing. Travel to different people holds different meanings . Some travel to explore and discover new lands , some travel to meet new people , some do so to stay away from home and some travel to rediscover themselves . To find a peace of mind in what they do and and what they want to do . To travel is to live the life and at the end of it all, leave no regrets behind . People say that they travel as a holiday to for once escape life...to find a moment of peace in their so busy life. But , i say that to travel not to escape …show more content…

Travelling is flirting with life, its like saying to a place you have visited ,”I would stay and love you , but i have to go , this is my station , that is my train.” Travel is one of those very unique things that makes one modest. It shows a person whaat a tiny place he/she occupies in the world and there is so much to learn and see. I want to be the person who one day says,” I have wandered all my life , travelled too, the difference between the two being that i wandered for distraction but i travelled for fulfilment.” To travel is to do something so pure that when you do travel you seek and find other states , other lives , other souls. Travel often , getting lost will help you find youself. See the world . Follow the map to its edges and keep going . Forgo your plans , trust your instincts and let curiosity be your guide. Change hemispheres and sleep with unfamiliar stars . Let the journey unfold before yur own eyes and only then will you find yourself in this big wide

    Ellis Island is best known for being the gateway for millions of immigrants coming into the United States. It first opened on January 1, 1892 and was running for over 60 years until it closed 1954. Ellis Island was, for a long period of time, considered to be a part of New York. It wasn’t until 1998 that the United States Supreme Court’s decision found that most of the island is in New Jersey. This may be due to the fact that the island was greatly expanded between 1892 and 1934.

As one gets older, they learn to think for themselves, which is valuable for succeeding in life. Being able to have the right mindset encourages me to not give up when issues with school or dance arise. Each setback that I face is just another journey to travel through.

    There is an old Moorish proverb that reads, “He who does not travel, does not know the value of man.” That quote resonates deep within me because I have a yearning to use my education to empower those in need. In order to do so, I need to see and experience the world outside of the one I am accustomed to. Curiosity is one of the traits that define the person that I am; because of this trait I always ask questions about the world around me and the people I meet. This is one of the driving forces behind my desire to venture outside of the United States to learn a new language and culture.

    An Exquisite Equation     Below the worn pavement and below thousands of footsteps, an unsuspecting terminal of tracks exists. The stagnant air of pungent aromas is filtered when the bullets carrying passengers glide by. The train station resembled a beehive; determined individuals zipping through rows of chairs to catch their ride while others frantically search for an exit. Past the makeshift shops that attempt to welcome the tourists, an outlet of steep stairs ascend. A strange phenomena seems to wash over as toes lift off the top step and heels collide with the rough sidewalk, introducing a feeling as if you’ve just teleported into a foreign world.
