When many young
adults think of traveling, they think of spring break or summer vacation. While
having a good time during travels is certainly a typical expectation, Albert
Cyprys has a unique perspective on traveling and its benefits. As a young adult
who has traveled extensively in the United States and abroad, Albert
Cyprys understands the benefits that travel have had in shaping his worldview
and perspective.
“Traveling
exposes you to other ways of living and other cultures that were previously
unknown to you,” says Albert Cyprys. “It’s so easy to grow up in a cultural
bubble that we forget that our way of life isn’t the only way of life.
Traveling pops that bubble – in a good way!”
Within the United States, Albert Cyprys has visited places
such as Daytona Beach in Florida, where he visited the car exhibition
and museum. He also visited Los Angeles and had
the opportunity to sightsee many iconic landmarks in Hollywood. As a photographer, Albert Cyprys
particular enjoyed traveling through Virginia
and Long Island. “Both states were absolutely
beautiful,” says Albert Cyprys. “I definitely got a few stellar shots from
those trips.”
Though those
travels provided many photography opportunities, Albert Cyprys also enjoyed
getting to be physically active as well. During his vacation to Virginia, Albert Cyprys canoed with his father and
friends along the Potomac River. Other trips
to Hawaii and Poland also produced opportunities
for physical activity such as hiking and trail walking.
