It's been on the bucket list to go there and see history thriving in the modern age. Only happened after I was task to write about tourist spots when I was doing some freelance article writing. Looked at the buildings and said, damn, I wanna go there to see things for myself. These places all look so beautiful to travel to.

Hello @adamada, it's one of those places you want to keep coming back to which caters to all ages. I was just digging information on which movies were filmed in Prague and I was surprised by the long list. I was initially inspired to visit it because of two films. The first one was Bourne Identity with Matt Damon and another one was the first scene in Mission Impossible I. Subconsciously these films formed a similar impression on how you felt when you were writing about it.
Those movies and some romantic films I can't remember. I'm mostly leaning on to the romance as my word association kicks in when someone says Prague I immediately think romance. There's a lot of places on my bucket list and just need to wait for more cash, have the pandemic done, and more time for myself.
Which place would be the first one you'd go to as soon as it's safe and good to travel to?
Japan, it's the first place outside the Philippines that motivated me to see the world. The picture of Mt. Fuji and the travel documentaries featuring the festivals all over Asia made me appreciate how small my world view is until I see what's out there.
Out of curiosity, what was the first place you traveled to? or what motivated you to travel? I know some would answer it's part of their job and they ended up loving it, or a friend introduced them to the habit, and most would just say they were driven for their wanderlust.
Japan is a great choice! Camping below or around Mt. Fuji with locals is a rich cultural experience.
When I was a child, I was fascinated with a children's travel encyclopedia called Childcraft Places to Know. This was my treasured possession. When I felt sad and down, to drown out the noise or family problems, I'd lock myself in the room and read this book and imagined myself in those places. I read them again and again and earmarked the ones I wanted to see. That was the beginning of my motivation to travel. It was the allure of discovering new things and exploration to understand life and people more.
The first place I traveled overseas was Dubai for work. It was my stepping stone to get to all the places I wanted to see. Thank you for such an insightful question. It was nice reflecting on it.
It's good to look back on the things that motivate us to do stuff. I often forget how I started drawing and why I pursued going digital. I just do because I like it but even liking it and doing it burns me out when it's not the only thing I should be doing with my time (adulting problems). Reflecting gives us an opportunity to renew a contract we once negotiated with ourselves to commit to. If it makes sense, we pursue. Your response made me reflect on it a bit as well. Thank you too.
Do you still do hand drawing or use traditional medium? I used to paint in oil but have lost the joy of doing it. Have to reflect on why.
