The Cheapest Way to Travel

Can you believe that I’ve been to New York? Last month I’ve been to Amsterdam, the month before I’m in Rio de Janeiro. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not rich, I don't even have a relative to visit in other countries. I’ve been in those places because of reading.

People said that reading is the cheapest way to travel around the world. I can say that it is true! I’ve been in so many places because I love to read, that’s the only thing I want to do when I have spare time. I’ve read almost 100 novels, I read my first novel when I was in 3^rd year  high school entitled The Other Side of Midnight  by Sidney Sheldon. I don’t have any novel books in our house except for the three books of Sidney Sheldon I owned, I borrowed books in our school library, good thing our school was an adopted school of De La Salle University at that time and they donated so many books in our library.

            Many people find reading as a boring activity , but I’m thankful that this boring activity becomes my hobby. Later in my life, when I get the chance, I will be in those places in person. Good thing I already know a lot about places I read, so it won’t be hard for me to think about the beautiful places in the world, it’s like the memories I read on books becomes my own experiences that when I get there I will always remember. They’re already on my mind waiting for me to come.
