Red Velvet #7: Travel #WEverb11
Where did you travel this year? What was your favorite part? If you didn’t get to travel, where do you want to go next year?
I went to London and Paris with one of my best friends this year. It was my first time out of the country and one of the most memorable experiences of my life. It’s funny, not only do I remember everything about the trip itself but I also remember all the moments leading up to it.
Last Christmas, I had spent some time with a cousin on my dad’s side of the family that I rarely see. We get along great but he lives all the way in Australia so I probably see him every 4 years or so. He had just gotten back from a trip to Iceland and was telling me all about his travels and the people he met. Then I told him how I’d never been out of the country. What followed was a look of horror on his face and him saying, “Tell me you’ve at least been to Canada.” (I have.) I couldn’t get stop thinking about it and less than a week later, I was IMing Giggles and telling her we needed to travel ASAP. Enough with the waiting, let’s just do it. And we did.
It was amazing, to say the least. I loved everything about London and Paris (minus the occasional grumpy Parisian). I’ve already talked in length about my vacation but if I had to name a few things that stood out to me it would probably be: the Eiffel Tower, warm fluffy croissants, “the Tube”, double decker buses, Covent Garden, the Louvre, Notre Dame and spending a night out dancing (can’t remember the last time I did that!).
But more than anything, I’m just happy to have done something different this year. I feel like it’s the start of many more travels to come!
