Let's Explore!

This is my blog site, where you can see what I've acquired and discovered further about myself. So, first and foremost, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Anna Mae Villena. I am 22 years old. I'm from Fiesta Communities Tabun Pandan Angeles City. Baking and watching vlogs are two of my favorite activities. I enjoy scrolling through social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. I also enjoy photographing myself. I love taking care of both my skin and my hair. Samgyupsal is my go-to comfort food. I enjoy communicating with others, yet there is a part of me that prefers to spend time alone rather than conversing with others. “Don't be afraid to fail; be frightened not to try,” is my life motto.

Let me begin with a brief story. My sister constantly asked me what college course I would pursue when I was in 12th grade. I told her I wanted to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree, but after a few days, I graduated and needed to enroll in college, but because of the covid-19, I couldn't go to school to do so. Because I don't have a quarantined pass, I'm not able to go outside. So when my sister enrolled me in Bachelor of Tourism Management (BSTM), I was shocked because I'm not intending this course to be my second choice. However, when the class began, I told myself that I needed to pursue it because I didn't want my family to be disappointed, and I also didn't want my sister to be upset. Taking this course was difficult for me because I knew it wasn't what I wanted to do, but as time went by, I began to love it, not because I made friends with some of my classmates, but because the professors made it easy for us to understand and motivated us to do our best in our classes.

To be honest, I've never been a fan of traveling since I've always preferred to be at home. I'm constantly sick when I'm traveling, which is why my family and I don't travel, and it's also not safe to travel due to Covid-19. Now, however, I'd like to go out and discover new things that I'll remember that for the rest of my life. When the Covid-19 is over, I'll go through with it. When it is safe to travel as a young woman, I also want to experience this. I'd like to try new things that I've never done before. As I get older, I'm usually looking forward to living life to the fullest. Despite the fact that I have so many fears, I believed I deserve to be happy. I want to face my fears because I know that if I don't, I won't be able to overcome these. I also read on a blog that they are happy with their travels and discoveries. When Covid-19 is over, I'm going to give it a shot.

Among the most important things to do when traveling is to take pictures. Snapping photos provides, after all, a way to capture a moment that everyone wants to be a part of. I would not want to escape reality, but I'd like to have fun and do fresh stuff. Well, it's a good thing to go on a trip.    I am driven to see, taste, and explore different things when i travel because it takes us out of our comfort zones. As a response, we are challenged to not only adjust to it and explore new environments, but also to interact with various people, to accept unique and fresh experiences with friends and loved ones.

Discovering foods, cultures, and beliefs, as well as their hidden treasures, are all part of traveling. I want to try new foods that I haven't tried before because I'm a foodie. I enjoy taking on new challenges, and that is why I want to travel to different locations to learn, discover, and experience new things. When it comes to learning, people say that experience is a great educator, which is why I wanted to travel to gain knowledge.

So, let's just have a good time with it. We can explore and discover new things even if it's a pandemic. There are numerous ways to travel through the internet. But I'm hoping that one day we'll all be able to travel the world and experience the thrill of being out of our comfort zone. I'd also like to feel like I'm on the correct track. Since happiness is a free decision, do what makes you happy, and if traveling is what brings you joy, do it. Life is too short.
