Traveling is like a Book But an Eye Opening One

With travel, you get to really see what it is like out there, especially with long term travel. For most people, what they learn about the world is from the TV, books and the internet, but it is not the same. The more you travel, the more you learn about what is real and what is considered is someone else’s perspective. Everyone has their own experience. Everyone’s experience of a place is different. Let’s say a person goes to Thailand, and over there, she is treated like shit, and she writes about it in her blog or does a video about it in her vlog. Then maybe a million people get to read her blog or watch her vlog. What happens then is that these people now have a bad impression of Thailand. And then another person goes to Thailand and all he has over there are just great experience. Wherever he goes, he is treated like a king, then for sure, on his blog and vlog, his content will be about Thailand being a great place. So then maybe only three thousand people are able to read his blog and/or watch his vlog. Then only three thousand people get a great impression of Thailand. There is a quote from Saint Augustine, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page,” and that is so true. So for those who cannot travel all the time or maybe do not have the luxury of being able to travel, my goal is to show the two sides of the coin when it comes to my travel experience in every country I visit. I will write and do a video about a place, its culture, its people, its beautiful spots, but at the same time, I will also show the bad part and the ugly side. But the thing, for every bad part and ugly side, there is some reasoning behind them, so I will not just label as such and such. Also for me to focus on the negative aspect is not a good thing. Every place, or even every person, is like a coin. It has two sides. The bad side and good side. Nothing is perfect. Sometimes I do believe that sometimes there is a beauty even in the ugliest of all places.
