How I did it: One of my best friends asked me if I'd go to Hawaii with her. I struggled with my answer for about 2 seconds. I'm terrible at planning, but she is a whiz at it. Before I could get cold feet we were in the air. Hawaii made me rethink so many things... Amazing. Took me 4 years to finally go travelling. Now I wonder why I waited so long. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I shared travel expenses with a friend of mine, which not only made it more affordable, but safer and more interesting. I searched online for discount coupons and made my own travel itinerary. We used Anchorage, Alaska, as a hub, traveling by either train, car, or plane to each National Park. Upon my return, I posted many photos of Alaska's mountain views at www.associatedcontent.com/wilkerson Read how I did it…
How I did it: I studied abroad in Rome for 4 months and took that as an opportunity to try and see a little of the world. Five countries and 16 cities in Italy later, I can say that not only did I accomplish my goal, but I've definitely grown and changed for the better. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Lots of financial help from our parents for our honeymoon and even more planning to stretch our then-weak American dollars overseas. We stayed in all hostels and were pleasantly surprised at the quality and value. We were able to go to London, Cinque Terre, Verona, Venice, Rome, Florence, Salzburg and Paris in 27 days. It was a whirlwind trip, but we spent enough time in each place to get a sense of its local flavor and character. It … Read how I did it…

Mike is wishing that summer would come to New England!
I went to Vermont over the 4th of July weekend. I stayed in the small town of Arlington, which is between Bennington and Manchester. It was a nice weekend except the weather was kind of cool and cloudy. Bennington was great with 57 moose statues in different parts of the city.
i want to travel to some different countries like Ireland,France,Japan,England,Egypt,Jaminca and some other one too or maybe i’d just like to travel around the world

Previously on my list I had two goals, one to go to Jamaica and another to go to Amsterdam. There is a connection between these places as most may notice. This however is a connection I no longer have with these places. This is why I have changed these goals into just simply Travel. I am sure these places are nice just to visit but many other places are too, if i come upon these places in my travels i won’t say no but there are other places i would like to go as well.
since i was a kid i have dreamed of traveling all around the world.
it will happen.
Its seems my travel thirst has been quelled,
for now,
because i am headed to Greece in a week for volunteer work to boost
my chances for better education and of corse for the worldly understanding,
i feel temporarily relieved.
I’ve found a good companion for my travels,
i’ve collected lots of tips from true migrants.
and it would seem all is in order.
and i’ve realized and recognized the vastness
and the truth that is my goal,
and the fact im getting so close.
a tip i frequently ignore is the just get up and go advice,
i have my feet in two doors. Between just leaving,
and education and a healthy relationship with my family.
And i will play chess with education until i am out of pieces.
And if i play the game right i should be able
to walk threw both doors willingly, with no regrets.
after this next school year, will hopefully give me,
and my travel partner; time to find ourselves
on a pitiless journey, before our lives catch up to us.
I have taken the romance and courageousness out
of my designed future, and after this mishmash of
compiled thoughts, will be living in the here and now.
All of this thinking ahead has burdened my youth.
