The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.
-Saint Augustine
People who consider travel as their passion will agree with that quote. Most travelers would visit different countries because they wanna see something new. Get out of their comfort zone and do adventurous stuff. As for me, I enjoy traveling because I want to learn about different cultures, discover a new purpose and inspire people I meet along the road.
I’m so obsessed with traveling that I ended up getting a travel-related tattoo with my best friend! For those who don’t have inked yet, I’m telling you… Ribcage tattoo is super painful. Other people will find it tolerable, but other people who have high-level of pain tolerance find it ticklish. Last month, I accompanied my cousin to get her first tat. She said it’s not painful at all, it was ticklish! Unbelievable!
Travel tattoos have different meanings depending on the person you ask. The most common are maps, coordinates, compass, globe, suitcase, airplane, sailboat, hot air balloon or script words like “wanderlust” or “explore”. I got a small paper plane tattoo coz I’m a travel writer and I have a strong passion for travel.

Final tips
Choose wisely and do your research about your tattoo placement, artist, and design. As my mentor always tell me when making a big decision about anything, “Sleep on it”. Give yourself some time to make sure you’re happy with your choices. Spontaneity is good, but getting a permanent ink is a BIG decision to make. Make sure that you’re in the right mind and for the right reasons for yourself. If it’s what you really want, go for it! 😉
