My older sister Emi Janae and I have this competition going. We both love to travel and since this summer we are both traveling so much we have started this challenge to see who can go to the most places. Currently we are about even. Since our mother is Japanese we have both been to Japan. We have been to Mexico for family vacations since we lived in Southern California for a while. Last year I had the opportunity to go on a school Meso American tour in which i went to Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize for a month. Right now my sister is on a church tour through the Middle East Biblical areas. She is going to Jerusalem and some other places (thats what might put her ahead) and last week i know she went ti Egypt! This summer she is also going to be in Jordan. I will be in Turkey for 9 months and hopefully, if all goes as planned I will visit her, hop over to Egypt for a few days, visit my friend in Italy, and my friend in France. Of course I will also try to go to Greece and anywhere else I can get to.
I blame my dad for my sisters and my love of traveling. I remember growing up he would always try to have us learn about other places. He himself has been to many different places including Mexico, Japan, Russia, Germany, and France to name only a few. He would always teach us a few words, customs, and facts about different places. We would go and try different restaurants who served foods from different countries and we would even celebrate different countries holidays. My mom loves to travel too and she would always make delicious foreign food.
All in all i thank my parents for giving me this drive, love, and ability to travel. Thanks mom and dad!
