Everytime you give me the opportunity to start a discussion, I talk about traveling. There is nothing that makes me more excited than going somewhere; even better if I've never been there before and I get to discover it.

I'd travel my whole life if I could. There is a quote that goes like this "Life isn't meant to be lived in one place" but also this one "We must take adventures in order to know where we truly belong" and I couldn't agree more. I feel sad thinking that I am doing the same shit everyday. Y'all know, I wake up every morning and go to school, come back and study, complain about how much stressed I am during the free time and go back to bed, in order to wake up the next day and do the same thing. 

At school you have to listen to teachers who sometimes can't teach anything at all, the only thing they can do well is talking and make their mouth going. If only teachers, at least where I live, were more passionate about their job, cared a little more about their students and instead of talking hours just because they get paid they would insterest their listeners, school wouldn't be so bad.

I want to travel because why not. Why should I stay in my home town every day? What makes it interesting? Nothing. I know by memory where everything is and what everything costs, for example. I appreciate my home town only when I am away from it for long, so at that time I miss even the little things of Milan. Now that I know what's like to live where everything is new and people don't know your story or name, I for sure want to do it, again. I want to start from zero, again. For someone that was the scary part about the exchange year, they cried when they arrived in their host countries, but I was actually really happy with my life as it was.

When I get older I want to be able to tell good stories to my family and friends, I don't want to say something like "I'm good, nothing new.." but instead I want to tell them how much fun I had on road trips, adventures, hikes and travels around the world.

When I say I want to travel I do not want necessary to spend 5 days in a hotel relaxing, but I want to get in touch with locals, find out non-targeted places which are as cool as touristic ones and not only take pictures to remember stuff but also make actual memories.

I am for sure going to Copenhagen and Budapest in the next few months, I can't wait to see where this 2016 will take me to. Where will you travel to this year?
