Traveling The World

My entry for the "If I could, I would..." contest being hosted by Adventure profile. I hope you enjoy it!

"Hey sis," I look up from my sprawled out notebook and towards my bed.

"What?" I asked, meeting Sarah's eyes. She looks like a clone of myself from my younger days when I was only twelve years old. Same large and curious brown eyes and dark, midnight hair.

The National Geographic magazine she'd been reading is closed and resting beside her, forgotten.

"If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be?" I raise an eyebrow at that and turn in my chair more, resting my arms on the back of it.

"Where'd this come from?" She only shrugs her shoulders and I smile. My eyes cast upward as I study the hideous popcorn ceiling in my room, thinking of an answer to her question. "Well," I start. "If I could go anywhere, I think I'd go everywhere." When I look back at her, Sarah is gaping at me.

"Everywhere?" I nod. "But, you can't do that!"

"Oh, and why not? You didn't put a time restriction or a limit on how many places I could go to. Besides," I stand from my seat and walk over to her, perching on the edge of my bed. My hand reaches out and I pick up the National Geographic magazine, flipping through the pages. "Don't you think it's difficult to limit where you'd visit? It's almost like a crime. There are so many places out there. Different cultures. Different foods. Different languages." I give my sister a toothy grin as I meet her eyes and tap her on the nose. "And a crap ton of adventures to experience."
