Travel, is to go from one place to another. Leaving from my familiar hometown to a totally unkown. My whole travel was consisted of taking some pictures, having some strange food and that’s it. No What travel meant to me was just appreciating the gorgeous scenery created by God. I had not taken people I might meet in the travel in to plan until I read the first page of the book “Travel as a Political Act”. At that moment, I suddenly found that I paid too much attention on the place itself but I ignored the beauty of its own people and its fabulous culture. How ignorant I was!

How can travel be used as a political act? I think it should be started at choosing a place to travel on purpose. It could be a city with a long history or town with a group of great people or whatever that suits my preferrence. Then, go there without any personal bias. I need to persuade myself to be a newborn baby, so that I can taste the new world instead of judging it by sticking to my original thoughts. Never judge anything before you really know it. Accept the new people and their habits, culture and history. Only in this way I can truly appreciate the place as a political act.
