5 Reasons Why I Travel
posted by Jas on Thursday, April 26, 2007
Dave from Go Backpacking tagged me in his post, 5 Reasons Why I Travel. Thanks Dave. I have plenty of reasons and excuses when it comes to travel. Here are my top five:
1. Travel Partner
I have the best travel partner one could ask for, my husband Nick. We've been together for almost eight years, and have traveled to a lot of places. He's fun, energetic, adventurous, and terrible with directions (sorry Nick). I'm detail oriented and just can't go anywhere without my camera and a map. But we do have something in common, loving outdoors, and we make a great team on the road. It's always more fun to travel with someone you enjoy the company, isn't it?
2. No Cooking
Well, when you're out on the road, it means NO MORE home cooking :P. Yeah babe! Don't get me wrong, I love working in my little kitchen after my regular job, but it's nice to get a break. It doesn't matter if I get fine dining or street vendor food, as long as I don't have to cook myself, I'll enjoy almost anything including "exotic Thai foods". I'm sure some of you share the same.
3. Get Lost
I love that I could just lose sense of time for days or even weeks. No more project deadlines, team meetings, and chit chat with my PM. Just get lost on a secluded beach or emerge in a foreign culture. Enjoy every minute of it.
4. Smile, you're on camera
Yes, photography is a big part of my travel and one of the reasons I travel. I'm just a weekend armature photographer. To be able to capture the people, the scenery and the moments and share them on Through the Lenses really get my addiction out of the way.
5. People
Meeting all kinds of people on our journey has been my best enjoyment. We met a couple from Germany in their 70's on Karon Beach, Phuket last year. We were on our honeymoon, and they were there to celebrate their 50th anniversary. They're just a happy and fun couple without any worries. Meeting people like them makes me reflect on my own life and look forward to my golden years with Nick. For now, I look forward to our 1st anniversary.
That's my 5 reasons to travel. What are yours? Tagging Eileen from Texas RV Travel Blog, Sheila from Family Travel, Donna from Socal Mom, and Nia from Go to Portugal, maybe they would like to share theirs.

Hi, Jas! I finally responded to your challenge! Thanks for tagging me!
Hi Donna,
You're welcome. I'm glad you participated.
Sounds like you as a couple would be great on something like amazing race! Lame I know, but your first point just reminded me of that.
