I always wanted to travel over the world when I was young and start depending on myself and get to know new stuff and to be an open minded.
When I was eleven year old I always talk to my parents about traveling alone but they always think it’s dangerous to me , and I felt that it’s going to be hard to me but I didn’t want to feel that I can’t do it and I can’t depend on myself .
My dad thought about it and he was started to agree with me but not my mom because she was scared for me and she thought that I can’t do stuff alone and it going to be hard for me .
I traveled to U.K when I was eleven and it was my first trip alone, and when I was on the plane I start thinking of stuff that I don’t know what to do about them and how to deal with them and I started to worry, but I kept telling myself that I can do it and I wanted to travel alone when I was a kid so it’s just going to be a while of time and I will get over it and its going to be fine.
When I reached to the airport I took a taxi and give him the address of the school and when I reached the school I didn’t know what to do or where to go so I started walking around the building and suddenly I found I group of student and they got closer and I heard that they were talking the same language I talk and I started to get happy and they talk to me and ask me where did I come from ,and what is my name , so I got the chance to ask them where do I have to do ; one of them were from the same country and he helped me to go it and showed me the place and I’ll never forget that.
I started my first day and it was fine not as I expected .
I started to got to know many friends and hang out with them and have fun , I was so happy that I did what I always want and dreamed about , and my mom knew that I could depend on my self and she was so happy about it .
It was my best time in The U.K , and that the reason of traveling to the U.S and many stuff and its strange for many of my relatives that am traveling without my parents or guide .

Hi Mubarak, It is challenge to leave your country at young age like twelve years old. I think your parents have the right to be scared at you. Traveling is very important to any person to depend on himself and go away from his parents. Traveling has many advantages to the person. For example, you will learn to not rely on any body except yourself. Also, you will learn a lot of new things and take an advantage from. Also, the most important advantage of traveling is knowing more about different cultures and compare it with yours. I think you realize the benefit of traveling a lone and you know more than people in your age.
Hadi,
You have many wise words in your comment. I agree that traveling, especially alone, can increase one's independence! Of course, traveling with a partner gives one the chance to compare one's impressions with a travel partner.
I'm sure you have learned a LOT from your time here in the U.S., right?!
Best,
Michael
Mubarak! I read your paper and tonight I read again at your blogger! It is excited! At morning I commented you to fix and correct something but here, I want to say anything about your paper comfortably.
First of all, I was really surprised that you travel the U.K when you were only 11 years old! It was quite interesting to me and your dialogue form was also really good. It impressed me a lot! I think there are many benefits about traveling alone, especially abroad! There is no person to help you directly! It means you have to deal with all situations you face. Sometimes, it is really exciting adventure but it is also really dreadful thing.
I always dream about travel all over the world, but it seems hard for me, because I am an only daughter so since, when I was really young, my parents didn’t let me to go anywhere alone. Even in Korea!!! I couldn’t get it, still. I understand them, but… Anyway! It was really exciting story. Thanks and I hope you have a great time, in here!
