I was always fond of visiting new scenes, and observing strange characters and manners. even when a mere child I began my travels, and made upload tours of discovery into foreign parts and unknown regions of my native city, to the frequent alarm of my parents, and the emolument of the town-crier. as I grew into boyhood, I extended the range of my observations. my holiday Afternoons were spent in rambles about the surrounding country. I made myself familiar with all its places famous in history or fable. I knew every spot where a murder or robbery had been committed, or a ghost seen. I visited the neighboring ages, and added greatly to my stock of knodge DGE, by noting their habits and customs, and conversing with their Sages and great men. I even journeyed one long summer's day to the summit of the most distant hill, whence I stretched my eye over each a mileTerra(['Ter Notebook] n.,) incognita, and was astonished to find how vast a globe I inhabited.

This rambling propensity strengthened with my years. books of voyages and travels became my passion, and in your uring their contents, I neglected the regular exercises of the school. how many fully wocould I wander about the pier-heads in fine weather, and watch the parting ships, bound to Distant climes-with what longing eyes wocould I gaze after their lessening sails, andWaft([W should: FT, W should ft] vi.

Further reading and thinking, though they brought thisVague([Veig]. vague) Inclination into more reasonable bounds, only served to make it more decided.

Travel description

I have always loved accessing the new world, and I have always learned the best practices. As a child, I have traveled many times to explore the remoteness and strangeness of my city. This shocked my parents and, of course, benefited many street administrators. As I grew into a teenager, my exploration scope also expanded. In the afternoon of countless holidays, I spent time roaming neighboring villages. No matter which historical place of interest or any mythical Holy Land, I know all about it. No matter which place of murder is beyond the reach of goods, or which ghost is everywhere, I am like a few treasures. When I visited the neighboring village, I observed the customs and habits of the villagers and talked with the scholars among them, which greatly increased my knowledge reserve. On a long summer day, I traveled to a very long hill. Looking at it, the unknown earth within a few miles has a full view. I was surprised to find that the planet I used to live on was so vast.

As I grow up, this kind of roaming hobby is also growing. I put my passion into Travel Notes and travel diaries. I was so hungry to read these books that I had ruined my school's regular classes. When the weather is good, I will wander in the corner of the dock infinitely, watching the distant sail not into the sky, chasing the fading white sail with eager eyes, and then let my imagination go to the corners of the earth.

I read a lot of books and thought deeply. Although this holds my vague roaming hobby rational, it makes it clearer and more persistent. I visited every place in my motherland. If I love beautiful scenery, I would never go to other places to search for it, because no country has such a charming and natural charm as my motherland. The vast lakes are shining. The mountains of the mountains are magnificent, and the Valley is quiet and vibrant. The waterfall is magnificent, and the great sound of the neighborhood is full. The boundless plains and vegetation are like trees and trees; vast and profound rivers, solemn and solemn, see the sea; forests with lush vegetation, without passing through the path; the sky lit by the summer cloud is brilliant; yes, except for the United States, we Americans do not need to go anywhere to find any magnificent natural scenery.
