The best part of traveling



Are you are traveler?

What's the best part of traveling? I'm sure it would be different for everyone who has ever traveled. It could be the sights that you get to see, you know? those places you only get to see in TV channels like nat geo and travel channel. Learning a new language is also great, we Filipinos are bilingual but you get a chance to be multi lingual. The food of course! who can forget about the food, it maybe a bit a of "fear factor" for others but eating sushi or yakisoba in Japan cannot be duplicated in Japanese restaurants in other countries. When you travel you get learn and experience a new culture, get to meet different people. You get a view of the world outside your own.

Those are the good stuff: certainly long travel time confusing your body clock does not qualify as the best part of traveling. Or traveling coach where you have more leg room in the toilet than your seat and of course not the airline food that they serve.

So what is the best part of traveling? For me, it's the part when you get to come home :-). In a few hours I will be boarding the first of two planes to get home, it's 11:30PM now Manila time and I wont get there until about 11PM Manila time, I will have to go through airport security, haul my luggage, sit on coach, eat airline food and all that shit but hey! it doesnt matter. I'm coming home

Coming home to people who missed me (and of course they are waiting for the presents I bought them hahaha), getting to eat the food i missed, spending time with my friends, seeing my daughter, driving my car, sleep on my bed, hugging my mom and my love ones. All that and more

Others are just bonuses, the best part of traveling, is the part when I get to go home.
