Many people have travelled within their own country and abroad, tasting themselves new flavors that might had aroused new sensations that that they never had experienced before. Travelling is indeed a jolly experience that most people have tried throughout their lives, being able to feel new winds blowing their faces, to be able to observe new, unknown cultures and being also able to reach new, interesting and gentle people, is something pretty rewarding once it has been experienced by oneself.
It is Monday, a nice warming day, a little cloudy, but indeed a gorgeous day; I wake up early, still sleepy with my eyelids almost closed, I turn to see my clock on top of the wall just to realize that it is pretty late, so I try to rush and get prepared for my upcoming trip. I come out from my scrambled and messy room to face and say Hi! To my early riser parents, who await for me at the wide and spacious kitchen table. We gather around the big, well-organized table in order to enjoy a healthy, luscious meal prepared by my kind and loving mom. So once we finished eating we retired quickly from the now dirty table, with our bursting filled stomachs ready to prepare our huge brand new travelling bags.
While I was setting my bag, I start thinking about the upcoming travel. I try to vaguely imagine how enjoyable and enriching this trip will be, I even picture myself staying at an unfamiliar, but at the same time cool hotel, talking with people considerably different and uncommon from myself. But then I snap out from my daydreaming because I start to hear the noisy alarm of my lazy sister´s cell phone playing and irritating song. So once I come back to my senses, I continued packing my bag and hurry to be in time at the white, welcoming front door of my palace, while my parents have a nightmarish struggle trying to avoid my clumsy and feeble sister delay us from our travel departure.
Once on the road, we arrived to the crowded bus station, it was almost and barely impossible to walk through the wave of people that surrounded us, but we got on time. Staying at the bus station we realized that our bus has had a serious breakdown, It is leaking considerably amounts of oil, so the friendly, short bus driver tell us to wait at the trim waiting room alongside a filthy grocery shop, which undoubtedly attracts my sister´s attention. Later as soon as the neat and humble bus has been fixed, we place ourselves on the way to ride the bus ascending through the rusty little steps while the rude loader grabs our bags from our hands, and stores them in the narrow bus trunk. Once in the bus, I found my seating place, sat down on my comfortable seat, lied down my head and as soon as I got cozy, the exhausted friendly and short bus driver put the bus on the way to our destination.
Everybody has travelled to several places once or many times during his or her life. Some of these trips have been sometimes worthwhile, sometimes troublesome, but indeed deserving of our leisure time, in order to get to know new interesting and wide cultures, new gentle, or rude people, and moreover, exciting and amazing sights worth seeing. So if you feel bored and think your life is too flat, be free to spend some time travelling, it might be a stimulating activity, you will not regret about it.
