What Traveling Means To You

What traveling means to you?
For me, traveling means a lot. Traveling means a lifetime learning lesson. It's beyond just relaxing, taking picture, or playing in the beach. Traveling is a effective method to accept the difference among us. Traveling doesn't have to be expensive. By the time you take your first step, you already decided that you are in it. Traveling can be effective way to create peace and spread love to the world. Imagine if you have a chance to know a lot of good people around the world, chance to feel the the atmosphere of different place, have a good time with local people. Giving you a hard lesson that not everybody in the world is just happy as you are. A lot of people keep dying, poverty, diseases, war, and another. It's a noble if you are planning to go to some underdeveloped country. Helping the kids, the people, and to know how they suffer.

Just as John Lennon's Imagine Song
Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try
No people below us, above it's only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no country, it isn't hard to do
No need to kill or die and no religions too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you will join us
And world will live as one

Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger a brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing for all the world

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you will join us
And the world will live as one

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
Take my hand and join us
And the world will live as one

Travel Packing Tips

1. The main equipment or your traveling is your bag. The bag is important thing you have to think of it first. You may use the smaller size for your travel. It gives you more secure and comfortable one than carrying the large one that give you more time to unload thing that you need quickly. You are traveling just for a few days, not for a month.
2. When you get large, bulky and full bag gives you less room to fill it with your souvenirs. You might realized that it will be your worst day ever in airport when they have to check it out. And gives you more time to wait the inspection to be done. Wasting time.
3. Smaller bag gives you more advantages, you can easily carry it away with ease when you have to walk faster to catch a taxy. Just jump out with your small bag over your front. In some country where there are many thief in the mass transportation such as bus or train, smaller bag gives you more secure feeling. It won't attract bad guy's attention.
4. Organize your stuff based on what you need it mostly. Put the important stuff in the top of the bag such as a passport, visa, wallet.
