Given
our age and financial incapability, most of our travels have been with our
families. There are things we couldn’t do like walk into MORE stores (HAHAHA!)
and go see some more places. Don’t get me wrong. It is pleasurable to travel
with your father and brothers because they provide you with safety but more
often than not, you hold back a little from doing more walking and exploring
because they would complain about sore feet from walking and exhaustion. And
the thing I hate the most…they call it a day earlier than usual.
Travelling
solo is an option for those who want to discover more of themselves as they
discover the world but safety is an important factor as well when considering a
trip. Travelling is more fun when you are with people whom you share your
interest and excitement with and are more likely thinking the same as what you
are thinking.
As
girls’ getaway travelling together gets more popular nowadays, I think doing a
multi-generation women’s travel should be considered more. Mother – daughter
travel is ordinary and frequent but how about grandmothers and granddaughters,
aunts and nieces travelling together? I think it is important to travel with
women of different age ranges because your perspectives in life are different
so you learn from each other. Plus, wouldn't it be nice to travel with women
who play such an important role in your life aside from your Mom?

Travelling
in different places helps the older generation to see how competent and ready
the younger ones are in the world and the younger generation would see that the
elders do not always live by the rules, that sometimes for fun, they break them
too!
My
Mediterranean cruise experience was just superb because I got to travel with my
Mama and Aunt Minnette. The group we travelled with keeps on noticing how we
catch each others’ back all throughout the trip. Role reversal is applicable in
this kind of travelling and having to experience it is just priceless. Experiences
like Aunt does the paying, Mama does the map reading while I do the price
haggling with cabs or souvenir vendors. Also, conversations we had were also
more intimate considering no men were around. Freedom to talk about fashion,
shopping, food and oh God forbid, cute men without the men to tease us or
regulate us is just endless and unimaginable!

| Shopping, shopping and more shopping! |
I
think the different life experiences each one of us has been through is
important because we enlighten and change perspectives of each other in a
manner where we did it unconsciously because we were all out there in a place
in this planet we were all unfamiliar with.

Lady traveler,
Rizz :)
what's a must see when you're in spain?
ReplyDeleteHi! There is a lot that you shouldn't miss in Spain!
DeleteIn Barcelona, there's La Seu Cathedral, Poble Español and of course don't miss the Sagrada Famila. The last picture you could see above, that's the panoramic view of Plaze de Catalunya as our background.
In Cadiz, there's Catedral de Sevilla and the old Santa Cruz Quarter. For beautiful photo op, drop by the Giralda Tower, Avenida de las Palmas and Torre del Oro.
In Vigo, I enjoyed most the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
Hi! Thank you for sharing your travel experience with your grandmother and aunt. I have thought of doing this a long time ago but I always imagined that it is going to be a catastrophe given our age differences. Now I am more convinced that my idea isn't really a nightmare after all! Looking forward to more stories from you!
ReplyDeleteI thought of the same thing as well but it turned out the other way around! During this experience it is like role reversal but different and more fun in different levels! Keep me posted on your travel! :))
DeleteHave you tried anything "out of the normal" while you were with your elders?
ReplyDeleteHaha! Actually we did! There's just so much to do, especially in Amsterdam! (If you know what I mean *wink wink* )
DeleteHello! thank you for sharing your travel experiences with us, makes me want to travel too,,maybe with my family but i think being solo is much much bettr..hehe:D
ReplyDeleteTravelling solo is one of the things in my bucket list! A solo travel is an adventure for a lifetime because you get to learn new things about yourself when you are out alone in a strange place. Soul searching perhaps? :)
DeleteHow many days does it take for you to explore all these beautiful places?:D
ReplyDeleteIt was a 10-day cruise then additional 5 days stay in Paris. The Paris part is not part of the shore excursions included in the cruise anymore :)
DeleteIm on a tight budget but how much would I need to enjoy all out? live life to the fullest right? :)
