Travelling has been one of the biggest impact of my life. It is the greatest adventure of my life and has made me learn priceless topics and has made me overcome many obstacles. Although many individuals find it dangerous and tiring to travel for over 6 hours, it is an experience most people should invest in especially with family or friends. The reason it is good not to travel alone is important because it will be harder to get out of trouble and you can trust that the other person will help you or share memories with you. I see a lot of people who live by the Belize-Guatemalan border and have not even visited Guatemala once.

This is the birthplace of my mother and where most of my mothers’ family resides. They were the only family members we could see as for my father’s relatives were either living in the USA or in Canada.

The dedication and sacrifice to spend only two weeks with our extended family is a testament of the adaption of a ritualistic behavior. Even when my family was going through some difficult times we always managed to sacrifice for three months and eat on the minimum just to go. It has become a ritual and if we don’t travel for a year it is so frustrating so we always tend to go either on Christmas or Easter. Travelling is more about finding about myself than understanding others. Understanding others is important and key to life but when you are stuck and desperate it makes you take everything you have for grated in a new light. There was a time where we slept on the streets just to travel and even though it was
