I used to travel to make myself relaxed. Two years ago, I was rather busy with my business and under a lot of 1 , so I went to Las Vegas for a holiday. I just wanted to get away and 2  for a while.

When I was on holiday, an 3  suddenly came to me. I had long wished to pay a visit to the Greek island of Sanatorium. Therefore, the idea of a two-week European 4  alone was born.

I'd driven 5 across the US before, but traveling to other 6 whose languages aren't the same as mine 7 me. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to 8 with anyone.

But I soon 9 that if I wanted to follow my dreams, I had to 10 out of my comfort area (舒适区). If I let 11 take control of me, I'd get nowhere.

As I was 12  more places to visit on my trip, I found Mykonos, Greece, which I 13  just as much as I liked Sanatorium. When I arrived in 14 , it was like I was in a dream.

What I appreciated best was the bus ride to Venice. As I rode the bus and enjoyed every new thing I saw, I was completely 15  from the pressure (压力) of my work. How 16  it was to see people riding their bikes to the 17  they would like to go to!

Some people might say, "It's not a big 18 ; it's just Venice. Thousands of people go there every day." But is was more than that to me. It was about having a 19 and when it was time for it to come true, don't let it 20 .
