Once Is Enough

The beauty of traveling is the memories that remain with you for the rest of your life. Sometimes, it is best to have an experience once and only once. The memories are there for you to cherish forever, but once it is repeated, it may not seem as special. That’s why travelling is so amazing, it defies the set schedules in real life.

One experience to have only once is to visit the top of the Eiffel Tower or Empire State Building. These places are both amazing and are really cool to experience. But the thing is, that once you reach the top, that is it. You see the whole city and have this beautiful sensation, but it doesn’t change every time. They have long lines and it costs a lot to go to the top of the Empire State Building. These are one-time experiences that you should have though.

Everyone wants to go to Vegas and have the time of their life. They want to party and have a lot of fun, and never really remember the details of what happened there. Vegas is a great place to visit when you are older, especially for gambling, as we all know. Going clubbing in Vegas is also another crazy experience. However, it should be a one-time deal. It is an expensive city and there is nothing exceptional about dancing there compared to any other club.

Typically for spring break, people like to vacation in Cancun. I know a lot of people who go down there over break. When my dad suggested we go there, I was not interested, because I knew there would be so many people from my school and hometown that I could possibly run into. I didn’t want to vacation in a place, where there would be the same people around me as always. A trip to Cancun over spring break is a great experience, but it is not exceptional to go there more than once. It is a trip filled with drinks, sun, and beach. It is continuously the same thing, so instead the next time, switch it up and go to a different place in the same area, for new beaches, parties, people, and culture. Similarly, staying at a Caribbean resort is an only one time deal. The crazy rides, pools, and experience is a fun experience, but there is not much else to it.

I am not saying that these experiences are not the best. These are typical trips that people tend to take and everyone should experience it. Sometimes, we could throw culture and new areas that no one you know has explored. For instance, instead of partying in Vegas, go to Ibiza, Spain. You could go on a road trip in the desert and visit the Grand Canyon for a bit of nature. Instead sticking to the common Eiffel Tower, explore the streets of Paris and eat road side crepes. Travelling is all about the memories. Do you want memories of the same place, doing the same thing, which all blend together eventually? Or, do you want a memory of a variety of places, though it is only one, there is much more for you to cherish?
