What do you like about traveling?
Traveling means everything to me. I often think about my next trip when I want to take a breather away from the usual work routine. I have met many people and made friendships in most of the places I’ve been to, and this is something I am not going to give up. Traveling has greatly improved my communication and people skills. This is in addition to increasing my desire to learn more foreign languages. As of now, I speak English, French, Spanish and some German.
What does traveling mean to you? Is it a hobby or lifestyle? How did you get started?
I consider it a hobby. I enjoy traveling because it creates memories of a lifetime and has helped broaden my horizons. This is the reason I make every effort to make my trips fun. I especially enjoy traveling with family and friends. There are also a couple of times I’m obligated to travel for work related reasons. The passion to travel came naturally because I am an outgoing person who enjoys learning new things and exploring the spaces around me and beyond.
What are some travel tip’s you’d like to share with an inexperienced traveler?
Owing to past travel experiences, I made a tacit decision to travel light and make my trips as hassle free as possible. The key to traveling light lies in packing right and having sufficient funding. It is also important to pay close attention to travel warnings and advisories, especially when going overseas. Your travel documents, i.e. passports and visas also need to be up to date. For the inexperienced traveler, I encourage them to maintain an open mind. This means asking questions whenever necessary and taking time to research and explore the travel destinations. When embarking on a trip, remember research is an important part of familiarization and shouldn’t be ignored.
Where would you like to go in your next trip?
On my next trip to Europe, I would like to visit the small tourist haven of Malta. I was glad to learn that Malta has been home to many epic battles featuring different European powers. Some of the attractions I would like to see include the megalithic temples, fortresses and beaches, where some of the world’s most exquisite restaurants are located. My travel list also includes countries like Morocco and the Czech Republic. Back in Canada, I always enjoy exploring the evergreen, British Columbia. Being an ardent hiker, the trails here are both challenging and mesmerizing. The trails feature everything from steep mountain climbs and scenic waterfalls to infinite forests.
Where would you like to revisit?
I seem not to get enough of England. I studied at the world-famous King’s College in London before moving back home in Canada to pursue a career in digital marketing. While in England, I made lots of friends. This makes me feel very much at home whenever I visit. My company maintains offices and staff in several places around the world. I would probably venture out more when I visit these offices next time to learn more about the people, their culture and foods.
