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 world on my bedroom wall with pins on it and I wrote postcards to foreign radio stations. I was an only child and Ididn'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 coul draw maps of countries from memory and name all the capital cities.

I didn't actually leave Australia until I was twenty-five, whe I went on a long trip through Asia. I arrived in Thailand thinking I was wellprepared, 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 then 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 cafe. 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 theworld.

Mi amor de viajar en sam harris
  Crecí en australia y presentaron a viajar a una edad temprana. Nos mudamos mucho debido al trabajo de mi padre. Mi principal afición era radios - reparé juegos viejos y escuché a varios programas de todo el mundo. Yo tenía un mapa de mundo en la pared de mi habitación, con los pin y escribí tarjetas postales a las estaciones de radio extranjeras.Yo era hijo único y no tenía muchos amigos, sino que trataba de ponerse en contacto con el mundo exterior. No teníamos una televisión, así que lo aprendí vino de la radio y de las enciclopedias. A la edad de 13 años, que se p dibujar mapas de los países de la memoria y el nombre de todas las ciudades capitales.

Yo en realidad no dejo Australia hasta que cumplí veinticinco años, cuan fui en unlargo viaje a través de Asia. Llegué a Tailandia pensando que estaba bien preparado, pero en realidad, yo sabía poco acerca de su rica cultura. Luego me fui a la India, donde el gusto por la aventura y las diferentes experiencias creció. Cada ciudad era diferente, había vacas en las calles, coches viejos, comida interesante, y la gente en todas partes.

Pasé de un país a otro sin darse cuenta delo peligroso que algunos de entonces eran en ese momento. Había muy poco asesoramiento disponible. Pero ahora es diferente - usted puede aprender mucho de la Internet y en casi todas partes usted va, usted va a encontrar un café internet. Todo ha cambiado mucho la forma en que viaja la gente.


Las cosas que ahora gusta de un viaje están comiendo y haciendo compras. También me encanta sentarmeen los trenes y hablar con diferentes personas. Estoy seguro de que nunca se aburren con el viaje, a pesar de que he explorado casi todos los países del mundo.
