A Trip Into the Wild

Where are you going?

I plan on going to one of Africa's most beautiful places to visit, Known as Victoria Falls. This waterfall is not only surrounded by other great parks, and safari's it is located on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia. I choose this place because it's something that i've never done or seen before that i have a great interest in. Being in Victoria Falls would take away all of my stress, problems and pain. Being there would show me one of the beauties of the world that you do not get to see in America or in a crowded city. This landmark is not only peaceful but it's filled with life and different types of adventures and challenges all of which i enjoy.





How long are you traveling?

I wouldn't set a specific time frame on how long i would stay. I would stay until i felt like there was something else i needed to see or something better. I would stay until i've seen everything Victoria Falls has to offer Physically, and mentally. I wouldn't give myself a time frame because i have a very bad habit of falling in love with something or somewhere and wanting to stay forever, which would be the case here.

How do you plan to travel?

I plan on traveling by Plane and by car. I would travel by plane because it is the quickest way of getting to Africa. Once in africa i would rent a car to travel in because along the way to Victoria falls i would stop at many other places. Having a car would allow me to Roam freely where ever i wanted to go or felt like i needed to be at that moment.

What will you need for your trip?

I would bring a month's worth of clothes,  and about 20,000.00 or more. This money would go toward non perishable food items that i could heat up using a pan and a fire. I would also use this money to fill up the gas tank on my car and whatever other expenses i ran into. I would also bring Blankets, a first aid kit, tylenol, benadryl,matches, and a weapon of some type. The blankets, medicine, and first aid kit would help me if i ran into any type of injury, or harsh weather. The weapon would be used for protection if needed or hunting if food supplies became scarce.

What do you want to accomplish on your trip?

I would like to accomplish inner peace on my trip. I would like to be able to look at the world differently and with more respect for nature and its living things. This trip would help me recognize how much i have already and how much i don't realize that not everyone has the luxuries that i do. Which would make me appreciate everything way more than i do now.


How will you record this experience?

I would keep a diary of my day to day emotions, experiences, and feelings. i would also take photos to go along with what i've been seeing. I would create a blog or a website about my experience once i made it back to America. Once in America again i would do everything in my power to show people there was way more to the world than what we've seen or heard about.

Games, Clothes, And more!

This blog is about all of the new video games out and ratings and reviews on them. I found the blog interesting because i really love playing new games on different game systems and challenging others. The blog authors are all graduates and they have or have had a career in game design or computer programs, so i trust their judgement on games. http://www.thatvideogameblog.com/our-team/?doing_wp_cron

The next blog that i fell in love with is about fashion..! because every girl loves a nice outfit and a matching pair of shoes! (especially me!) this blog has amazing outfits put together for all times of year and different occasions! http://stylorectic.blogspot.com/

The author of this blog is just as excited and in love with reading as me (if not a little more!) She is very detailed about the books she likes. Which is great because now i know what they are about and if they're worth reading. (which so far they have been.)  http://www.blogginboutbooks.com/

Think Different

Yes i agree with the Video Think Different. I think that this is important because so many people get caught up in stereotypes about how we should be, or what society wants us to be rather than who we really are. If everyone had the mindset of being "normal" or fitting in a lot of things would not have been accomplished to this day. Such as inventions, the civil rights movement, ect. all of which affect the world today and make it a little bit better. I think that if a lot more people were who they really are rather than what society tells them to be we would not have a lot of the problems we do now.
