Travelling is an opportunity to experience one of the greatest joys in life.
Travelling overseas is a luxurious experience a person could endure in their lifetime. I have been so fortunate to travel many parts of the world including Asia, Europe, America, England, Iceland and United Arab of Emirates.
I have also lived in Perth Australia (18 months) and Ulsan, South Korea (8 months). Living in South Korea was an eye opener particularly the culture, beauty industry and technology. It gave me many opportunities to travel overseas due to affordable flight costs and quicker travel times (compared to flights from Australia).
Travelling overseas gives me a great sense of appreciation of the world and what each country can offer such as culture, language, food, arts, architecture, nature etc. When travelling, I immerse in everything I see and do and make the most out of it.
Australia
The travel experiences I have had overseas has also given me a huge sense of appreciation and gratitude for where I live, Australia. I am so lucky, proud and grateful to call Australia home and to be an Australian. It is a beautiful country with so much freedom, boundless opportunities, multiculturalism, diversity, high quality of the produce and many many natural beauties (eg beaches, mountains, animals etc). The standard of living and the quality of life in Australia is incredible, and it allows everyone the opportunities to live the life they want. Here, we can have it, if we want it enough (and this is not to the exclusion of any other country).
