Since little my father has passed on his passion towards me. At the short age of 4 years old, my favorite food was sushi and my dream was to visit Japan and try the sushi over there. Travelling for some might seem like a waste of money and time, but I see it differently. I feel that traveling is the only thing you buy, that makes you richer, maybe it will lower your bank account, but it increases your cultural knowledge and opens your eyes to a whole different world. It not only gives you the advantage of seeing famous museums, plazas and buildings but one gets to experience what every culture it is truly about. It not only gives you the advantage of seeing famous museums, plazas and buildings but one gets to experience what every culture it is truly about. It is one thing to learn about the biggest mosque in the world through books and internet, and it is another totally different thing to be stand- ing at the front of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi. The mix emotions one feels by standing there, feeling so calm and quiet, is worth every penny. If I could thank my dad for something, it would be without no doubt, for transmitting me the passion for travelling. At my very short age, I have been able to travel the 5 continents, experiencing the great, the good and the not so good. Going to extremely luxurious places like Abu Dhabi and Dubai has inspired me to want to become a successful women and to realize how a country can improve in such a little time. On the other hand, visiting not to so wealthy countries, as Zambia and Tanzania, has opened me the eyes to a whole new level. To realize that for some people water is not a right but privilege, was definitely a changing moment. that is going to stay for ever in my mind. Travelling can open many doors, but one must always be open to adventures and crazy experiences.
