My Love of Traveling by Sam Harris
I grew up in Australia and was introduced to traveling at an early age. We moved around a lot because of my father’s work. My main hobby was radios - I repaired old sets and listened to various programs from around the world. I had a map of the world on my bedroom wall with pins on it and I wrote postcards to foreign radio stations. I was an only child and I didn’t have many friends; instead I tried to contact the outside world. We didn’t have a television, so what I learned came from the radio and from encyclopedias. By the age of 13, I could draw maps of countries from memory and name all the capital cities.
I didn’t actually leave Australia until I was twenty-five, when I went on a long trip through Asia. I arrived in Thailand thinking I was well prepared, but in fact, I knew little about its rich culture. Then I went to India, where my taste for adventure and different experiences grew. Every city there was different; there were cows on the streets, old cars, interesting food,
and people everywhere.
I went from country to country without realizing how dangerous some of them were at that time. There was very little advice available. But now it’s different - you can learn so much from the internet and just about everywhere you go, you’ll find an internet café. It’s really changed the way people travel.
The things I now like most about a trip are eating and shopping. I also love sitting on trains and talking to different people. I’m sure I’ll never get bored with traveling, even though I’ve explored most countries in the world.
