My Next Vacation




I have had the opportunity to do a fair bit of travelling with my family growing up. I enjoy traveling, although I have not been to the most exotic and foreign travel destinations of the world I hope to one day visit them all. My dream job would be a career where I would get paid to travel and visit tourist destinations. I know there are many careers just as the one I described but I do not know where someone would go to get one.

The last destination I wanted to go to was Cuba. I have never been and heard it is a much safer place to visit then Mexico. Ultimately I think it is naive to believe anywhere is safe and it is more about the situation you put yourself in. I now have reconsidered going to Cuba. I am currently planning a trip to Cabo San Lucas where I will be leaving for at the end of this semester. My friend and are I are going together and are very excited because we both will be in need of a beach vacation by the end of our exams. I have chosen Cabo because after some research it appears to have a large American presence. I have been to Mexico three other times, once to Puerto Vallarta, Cozumel and Tijuana. I have had good experiences in both Puerto Vallarta and Cozumel but as many may know Tijuana is a different story. My largest concern about travelling to Mexico on my own is about safety at night, as I am aware you have to be careful when traveling to foreign countries.

I am in the same boat as you and i cant wait to get out of here after this semester. Cuba is supposed to be really amazing but with really bland and crappy food as ive heard from my best friend.
