Memories
This is a very important one. Memories make the entire trip what it is, so the most important things to bring with you is a camera/video camera. As much as I love to see and experience new things, there's nothing better than being able to capture the moment, and in the future being able to take out the photos or the videos and look over what you've done in your past. Memories are a very delicate part of life, not everybody gets the advantage of remembering everything that's happened. Maybe you want to capture that smile you had with a certain someone, because at that moment it was the best time of your life, or maybe you got the chance to see an animal you've never even heard of and it was the most magnificent thing you have ever seen, and it would be a shame to let it be forgotten.
History
Being born in 1995 makes me miss out on a lot of history, well obviously because I wasn't apart of it! Yes we have history class that is mandatory to take in grade 10, but how much better would it be to see things rather than read it out of a textbook or to watch an over exaggerated movie about what happen during certain times. Nobody could react the feeling of people that experienced it except for those who actually experienced it. When I was in Lebanon I got the chance to travel to a village that had an area closed off from the war that happened in 2006, where Lebanese citizens were captured and tortured by Israeli soldiers. When I started approaching the area I already had shivers. Just the way it look, all beaten up and whatnot, I was already imaging what this place was going to look like. You got the chance to go into the shelters and see the rooms people were held in the marks on the walls that they made although, most of the place was bombed down so things were very hard to walk around, lots of barb wire around too. Different countries have their own story, and I'd love to learn and see them.
