We would meet the local kids and talk to them in a make believe foreign language and they would look at us in a strange way and sometimes they would join our expeditions and sometimes they would just go on their way. I remember those imaginary vacation trips fondly and when we started growing too old for them we promised we will sometime travel through the entire world for real, in real boats, planes and trains. My family’s economy started improving and my parents bought a Royal Holiday membership on a family trip to Cancun México. After that we enjoyed traveling as a Family and we were sometimes even allowed to bring friends along. On these trips my mother taught me how to know the local culture by talking to strangers about their daily lives and she taught me to appreciate the world’s diversity and to be amazed and intrigue by it.

I do remeber those expeditions and adventures in my own back yard, some of my best summer vacations where spent traveling though the most dangerous jungles in my friends garden.
