Motivation/Why:

I want to travel to Laos for several reasons. Firstly, I want to discover and explore more about my heritage and culture. It’s important to me to learn more about where I came from and how I came to be. Secondly, I want to develop as a person and have a better sense of what I want to do with my life. I think that this vacation will help me grow as an individual. It will also allow me to have better insight on why my parents chose to immigrate in the first place.

             This leads me into my third reason. I want to travel to Laos because I want to thank my parents for all they have done for me. I’ve been very fortunate to have such amazing parents who are willing to give up theirs lives and work non-stop to provide their children everything that they could. I am going to thank them by helping out with the trip financially as much as I can, but also by being there and experiencing this with them! Fourthly, this is the best time to travel! I won’t have many obligations and I won’t be in any debt (my parents have helped me with funding my education). Fifthly, my grandmother passed away last year in Laos and I would love to go visit her grave and show my respect to the only grandparent I got to meet!

Lastly, I want to travel to Laos because I feel that my previous visit to Laos was not experienced to its fullest. I was in Laos but didn’t take advantage of it as much as I would now. With all these reasons in mind, my dream vacation is to go to Laos and discover myself!
