    Hey, mom,

    I want you to stop dropping me off at the airport for some trip that I am about to take and start becoming my seatmate. I want to travel with you — just you.

    I want to explore a new place with a woman who raised me, who put up with my teenager anxiety and my rebellious (叛逆的) college years. I want to see my favorite cities with the lady who taught me basic life lessons, such as looking both ways before crossing the street, how to use a glue gun, and that the most important thing in the world is to help others.

    I always appreciated the vacations you planned for our family. I also remember how you watched me as I read The Great Gatsby on the balcony at midday. I wonder if you felt proud of me. These days, I am sick of traveling to places with wishy-washy (无主见的) friends. I want to travel with a strong woman who can see how capable I am of learning to speak French or hiking on a glacier or eating something as unpleasant-smelling fruit.

    Now I want you to see how much I grow up while abroad — I'm a different person, Mom. And I know you'd be different too. I know that someone has shared a similar burst of emotion while diving into Australia's Great Barrier Reef for the first time.

    So what do you say, Mom? Will you throw responsibility to the wind? I want to travel with you. Let's just go — we can go anywhere in the world, just you and I. You can pick the place, and I will do the rest.

    Love,

    Katka
