On your journey you will meet lots of new friends.Talking to strangers and finding about their lives is a great way to spend your time.You will certainly be more confident after having to deal with problems and make many decisions along the way.
When you travel,you have to be on your own in some situations.You will surprise yourself by how well you can do that.All your special experiences could make an interesting book to read.It would be filled with your special memories.
