There are very few young adults that I have encountered that do not wish to travel the world. For the most part, many young adults are consumed by the feeling of wanderlust and simply want to get away and experience what the world has to offer – myself included!
Although I have not yet been to many places outside of the United States, one of the best adventures that I have had so far surprisingly enough has been right off the coast of my home state of Georgia – Jekyll Island. The time I spent at Jekyll Island primarily consisted of me being at the beach and channeling my inner Moana. Although I did not sail across the sea to restore the heart of Te Fiti (which would have been awesome!), I did get to sit back, relax, and take in the beauty of the beach itself, the ocean, and its marine life.
In the future, when I do get the chance to travel outside of the United States, my dream destination would be New Zealand or any of the countries in Oceania. These are some of the countries that catch my interest the most because I have a strong penchant for beautiful tropical locations and experiencing the different types of tropical environments.
