2. Laurina Bragdon is a travel enthusiast with
interest in exploring new places and learning
about different cultures. She has traveled
through Europe and visited several popular
tourist locations as well as places that are less
popular among travelers. According to
Laurina, traveling is a great way to learn about
yourself as well as your fellow human beings.
There is a certain joy when you reach
somewhere you’ve never been before and
when one leaves that place one takes away
new experiences and memories that last for a
lifetime.
3. Her travels have taken her to France,
England, Germany, Poland, Spain and Italy.
Of all these countries, she found Italy as the
most exciting place. The unique Italian way of
living, cuisine, music and culture impressed
her to a great degree. While in the Tuscany
region of Italy, she visited the vineyards to
learn about wine making and also took part in
wine tasting gatherings hosted by the owners
of the vineyards.
4. She said that it was a refreshing experience
to see how simple processes are used to
create rich and full-bodied wines. She also
attended cooking classes which are a
popular activity in Tuscany. In these classes,
she learned to cook authentic Italian dishes
that use local ingredients along with a variety
of herbs and spices that give these dishes a
unique flavor. She is determined to try
cooking these dishes whenever she invites
her friends for dinner.
5. According to Laurina Bragdon, traveling allows
you to meet new people, enjoy new
experiences and it also teaches many lessons
about human nature. She says that those who
do not travel have a limited world view and
many times they’re not able to think creatively
about the problems they face in life. She
believes that traveling expands your mind as
you get introduced to new situations and
people; which forces you to think on your feet
and make changes to your plans while on the
move.
