I Want to Travel the World The first time I saw the ocean, I knew I was destined to leave. Our small town was landlocked, hemmed in by endless fields of corn that swayed hypnotically in the breeze. It was a good place, my mother always said. Safe. Predictable. But predictability felt like a cage to me. I wanted chaos. I wanted wonder. I wanted to see what lay beyond the golden horizon. I was thirteen when a visiting relative took me to the coast. The waves crashed against the shore, their sound like thunder, their rhythm like the heartbeat of the Earth itself. I remember standing barefoot in the sand, letting the cold water lick my toes. The horizon stretched infinitely, teasing me with its vastness. Somewhere beyond those endless waves, there were islands, cities, mountains, and people I had never met. My chest tightened with longing. “I want to travel the world,” I whispered. “You and every dreamer,” my uncle said with a laugh, tousling my hair. But to me, it wasn’t just a dream. It was a promise I made to myself. I didn’t leave right away. Life had its demands—school, work, the duties that keep most people tethered to their hometowns. But every time I saw a plane soar overhead, my heart tugged at me, begging me to follow.

As a student with a heart set on adventure, I often find myself lost in dreams of far-off places. But there’s one destination that calls to me louder than any other "Vietnam". Although I’ve never set foot there, it feels like my soul is already intertwined with its culture, its food, and its stories. For me, Vietnam isn’t just a travel destination; it’s a cultural treasure trove I’m eager to explore. I imagine getting lost in the breathtaking landscapes of Ha Long Bay or walking through the timeless, lantern-lined streets of Hoi An. As a history student, I find Vietnam’s past and resilience deeply inspiring, making me yearn to experience its vibrant present even more. But as much as I wish to pack my bag and hop on a plane, my student budget reminds me that this adventure is still out of reach. Saving for an international trip isn’t easy, and the expense feels like a mountain I’m constantly trying to climb. as a videographer, I would document every step, capturing each moment in vibrant detail. I dream of creating videos that share the soul of Vietnam—its culture, food, and stories—so that I can bring this journey to life for others and relive it myself, long after I return. Until then, I hold onto this love from afar, hoping that someday soon, my adventure will begin.
