I want to travel.

I want to travel, not to find myself, because I know who I am. I know who I am, and what I am, and I may not always like myself but I don't want to be anyone else.

I want to travel to find the world, written in all of its glory. I want to taste it, feel it, smell it and see it all around me. I want to experience the industry and ingenuity of humans, and the beauty and balance of nature. I want to explore, and to know, and to understand. I want to take away, and to give in return.

I want to travel, not to find myself, to but to find everybody else. I want to share myself with strangers: to find people to love, and to give joy to, to talk and laugh with.People who might not remember my name - who might never have known it - but who will be able to say days, weeks, years later: 'I met a girl there, and we laughed a lot.' Or simply: 'I was very happy then.'

I want to give experiences even as I take them.

I want to find beauty that will make me laugh, and cry at the same time.

Then I want to return home and say:
I have seen, and I have done, and I am very, very happy.
