My Favorite Educational Narrative
If I had to choose my favorite educational narrative, I
would have to choose "How I Learned to Love Traveling Solo" by Cate
Huston. The reason this is my favorite educational narrative is because of how
informative and fun it is. I love hearing about her personal experiences and
why she loves traveling by herself. She even gives pros and cons of traveling
solo. One excerpt from the blog I liked was, "When you’re
traveling on your own, hardly anyone cares what you look like, and you’re
probably never going to see the people you meet again anyway. So comfortable,
easily packable clothes should be a priority." Usually people are always
freaking out about their appearance, but Huston insists to dress for
comfort, especially if you're traveling alone. Something else that stuck out to
me, that I really like, is when she said, "When I travel,
I’m after an adventure, not to fall in love."
I also really like how she emphasizes that you should
really take it all in. Even the littlest things can be breath taking. One of
these moments include when she said, "When I visited Hong Kong, I had this moment sitting on a bench in a park
with an amazing barbecue pork bun. I felt very peaceful, and just acknowledged
it as the kind of moment that I get while traveling solo, but not when
travelling with others. I felt relaxed and free to just do whatever the hell
appealed to me at that moment." I for one am a big fan of the little
moments that just make you happy to be where you are in that exact moment. The
littlest things can really make your day.
This educational narrative is definitely one I will be
looking back on whenever I want to travel. Which is another reason why I love
this blog so much! I love to travel! Huston is just someone I feel like I could
connect with on a personal level. She's someone who doesn't need other people
to enjoy herself, which is something I really admire in other people. This blog
has been very insightful and very informative. I could go on
and on on why I like this blog so much, but I don't wanna make this entry too
long!
In conclusion, I loved her educational narrative, and it
was definitely my favorite out of all the ones I read!
