“We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we
travel, next to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes
and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We
travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to
those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we
travel, in essence, to become young fools again – to slow time down and
get taken in, and fall in love once more.” – Pico Iyer
Why do you travel?
For me, it is a combination of many things – I love experiencing new cultures…seeing beautiful scenery, architecture and art…savoring delicious local flavors…revisiting places I have already been and delving a bit deeper with each trip…and sharing my favorite destinations with my family and friends.
Virtuoso, the luxury travel network that my agency is part of, is sponsoring an essay contest. Tell them “Why You Travel” in an original essay of 200 words or less and you can win up to $10,000 from Virtuoso. You can even add photos or a short video to enhance your essay.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if one of my readers won the contest?!
Hmmmm…..I need to come back after school and try this! I'd like to win! Oh Sandy, good morning! Anita
Sandy,
In 200 words or less…..yikes! I have always loved to travel. Let me count the ways and enter!

There's so much we could say about why we travel but we'll try to keep it to 200 words or less… What an amazing competition and how fun would it be to win. We'd have you plan our trip!

Great competition! I'd love to read the winning entry. Have a wonderful weekend, Sandy!
I think that your reasons for travelling are very much like mine. It's so exciting to actually be somewhere that you have previously read so much about. I always have a list of places to visit next and it just keeps growing! Interesting competition.
What a wonderful contest and what a prize!! Too good to pass up but need to think of how I could do this in 200 words or less, as there is so much I love about travel. One big perk…having you as my travel agent! Have a great weekend…..
I adore that quote, Sandy! It captures the essence of travel for me. Your words on travel always resonate with me. Travel is the icing on the cake to my life. What a fun contest!
Have a lovely weekend!
xx, Heather
What an amazing quote and offer from Virtuoso, Sandy!! I so miss traveling as much as I used to…that will hopefully change soon though!
