My European Travels

       When I graduated from high school in the summer of 1998, I had the chance to go to Europe for my first time. I went with my family in the summer of 1998, and we enjoyed it so much we kept returning.
     I believe traveling is an excellent experience. It opens up people's eyes and lets them discover that there are other cultures and other places not yet seen. There is a whole world out there waiting to be explored and traveling helps you realize there are other points of view and lifestyles completely different than your own.
         I learned so much from my travels that can't be put into words. One needs to go out and experience Europe for themselves to see what I mean. The world is gigantic, and there is more to it than just the little corner of the world where I live in Northridge, CA.
