From my own experience, I would definitely support the latter option, since it is difficult to grow as a person unless you see more of the world. When I first finished school, I was faced with this choice, as most are.

finally decided to visit New York for the first time after wanting to go. I would be taking me to a new city that I have never visited before I was feeling excited about going to New York. One the night before I left for New York, I pack and unpack my bag several times going to my clothes several times thinking that I am packing pack too much clothes and which clothes I need to pack for the weather that is expected in New York while I am there.

Since I was a child, I have asked myself many…
