Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve wanted to travel the world.
During my senior year of college, I was able to travel to five different countries while studying abroad.
It was so much fun! These trips confirmed my desire to travel once I graduated. When I was twenty-four years old, I was hired by a research company. At first, I didn’t think I would want the job, but after finding out that I would be traveling to different countries for the majority of my research, I gladly took the job. Ever since then, I have traveled to approximately thirty countries per year. This job has made my dreams of traveling a reality. Because I travel so much, I am almost constantly in airports. I feel like I live at the airport. It truly is my home away from home. One thing that I have noticed about almost every airport in the U.S is that they are kept quite chilly. I swear, it could be in the middle of December, and inside the airport feels like the same temperature as outside the airport. I don’t think they have the AC running year round, but it sure feels as if they do. I get so cold in airports that no matter what season of the year it is, I always bring a coat or thick sweater with me. It’s humorous to me that I have found airports in other countries to be quite the opposite of those in the U.S. Airports in other countries seem to always be very hot. It feels as if they don’t use any AC at all. I traveled to Asia last year, and I distinctly remember one of the airports I flew into was so hot that I was sweating just walking from one gate to another. I’m not sure why they can’t seem to keep airports at a comfortable temperature, but I am glad that I have travelled enough to know how to be prepared for the cold ones and the hot ones.
