Travel different!

Beyond any limits

TUNISIA | Thursday, 1 May 2014 | Views [232] | Scholarship Entry

Ever since I can remember, I have not been provided with extensive oppurtunities to experience other cultures in person because I couldn’t afford to travel abroad.
But I was dying to meet other people… In fact that was my biggest dream.
I’ve always dreamt of traveling and meeting other people, seeing other traditions and living differently.
Somehow I managed to travel abroad and see the world without even leaving my country…
I started my journey by collecting and reading books and magazines like the Nat Geo magasine about other cultures.
I read a lot for Marquez. He helped me expand my horizons and travel through imagination not only to the places that exist but also to those that never existed and meet different kind of people through his characters.
It might sound boring for a lot of people, I admit it! but back that time, it was the only thing I was capable of.
So even if I couldn’t experience the world in person,
I could visit it in the written words and photos.
And now I'm using the internet to make friends and meet people in the real life and learn from them.
I succeed to invite people from Asia and Europe.. I have now friends from Japon, France and Spain...
I know a lot about their traditions, their languages, their music and I look to meet more people so I can learn more.
