The world is a book
Unfortunately, I have only traveled to The Bahamas twice. I would love to more international travel; however, with work and school it can be difficult to find the time and money to do so right now! However, I did find going to The Bahamas very interesting as we took tours and found out a lot about the local people and how dependent they were on tourists for income. Our first tour guide told us about how expensive it was to purchase a car and how much higher their gas prices are than ours! It was also sad to see how dangerous and poor areas of the country are while the tourist spots are luxurious. Although I have not traveled much, I have been exposed to different cultures by living in Sandusky where many come to work for Cedar Point from many different countries. Also, I began working at Samurai Japanese Steakhouse where my bosses and many coworkers are Chinese. Learning the culture of my coworkers is very interesting and has helped me learn things I never knew about life in China. Also, we were able to clear up some misconceptions that Americans often have about those from other countries. In the future I hope to do much more international travel to Europe and several other countries if I am given the opportunity!
Just off the ship in The Bahamas!
