My family loves to travel and it is what we save up for so that we can travel as much as possible. My favorite two places that I have been are Spain and Israel. I probably love them so much for the same few reasons: 1) The food (the food is amazing) and 2) the history. The history part is what I found really fascinating. Growing up in America, it seems like history starts two or three hundred years ago with the colonization of the New World, but going to Spain and Israel and seeing architecture from the 1000s or even from before the common era was not really eye-opening because I knew it existed, but eye-opening in the sense that history didn't really feel real until I was there walking through it. These experiences gave me a greater appreciation for not only history classes, but learning about the past in general. It no longer became memorizing facts or something I dreaded (although I still dread certain topics), but something I was actively interested in doing.
