Going through customs


What’s a moment when you realized you were officially an adult?

I think I realized I was an adult when I went through customs while traveling. I can remember being really stressed & sweating as I didn’t know what questions they’d ask.

I think of all the traveling I’ve done-I’ve become used to their questions & being searched. One time cause I had a sandwich with cod eggs on it.

Nothing major, just a sandwich & that was before I learned to pack light. I remember I had to dig through my 30lbs backpack to find it, something that was really embarrassing.

Anyway, I think it’s healthy to travel as a young adult because it teaches you how to be in different scenarios. Also, how to handle them.
