My Travel Journey

When I made it my goal to visit all seven continents, I was not kidding. Although I had lived in India for a long time, I still wanted to explore Asia, and four years after my Europe trip, that is exactly what I did. The wonderful country of Singapore and the exotic country of Thailand were my next destination in this majestic travel diary of mine. My family and I started this wonderful trip two days before the start of spring break in my sophomore year in high school. Missing school even for a day, let alone for two days, is hectic in terms of classwork and homework, but it worth missing school for the joyous memories. I reached Singapore on April 6 and went directly to Phuket, Thailand. On the first day of the trip, my family and I had gone

From the balcony of my room, I saw a beautiful beach with its exquisite bright blue-colored water. The hotel’s amenities were like no other, a gym of a size that could fit at least a hundred people, more than five gigantic swimming pools with the front view of an extraordinary beach, and the location of the hotel itself was marvelous, palm trees in every corner, the rooms were in different elevations which was the best features of the hotel. My room was in the highest elevation, at first I hated that the idea of moving down all the time for food which was in my parents’ room, but when I entered my room, I was in awe of the view from my room. The colorful roofs of other rooms, swimming pools, the turquoise colored water of the ocean, basically every feature of the hotel was the view from my room. Day two of our trip was even better and it was rather more adventurous than sightseeing. We boarded on a boat, which was provided by the tour company my dad had booked, took us to small and unique islands in

Just as I was going to board the flight, my dad asked me if I wanted to travel in business class, and with all commitment I said no. I did not want him to spend too much money on something that would last merely only for 20 hours. My parents had round-trip business class tickets, whereas my brother and I did not. So, my dad insisted that my brother and I travel in business class just so that he could make our trip even more memorable than it was already. The funny part of this though was that he had to force me to make me travel in business class, but eventually, I agreed. As I was laying on my seat, I started wondering about how fortunate I am that I have such loving parents and would spend more money than needed to make myself and my brother happy. It is wonderful to think that at the age of 15, I had been to 12 countries in total. This trip made me realize that the next time I travel, I should take more pictures to maintain physical memories rather than storing them in the mind, and also write short memoirs of the events that had taken place on that trip, so that when I look back into it, it will cheer me up when I go through tough
