Hi! Where are you from?

I'd like to share my experiences and thoughts about my trips. I try to travel abroad at least once a year because I've realized that my time in life is limited. Don't jump to conclusions, though, I don't have a fatal illness or anything like that. However, since I'm no longer in my twenties or thirties, these coming years are the last chance for me to truly enjoy encountering both positive and negative experiences without having to constantly worry about my physical condition."

I'd like to share my experiences and thoughts about my trips. I try to travel abroad at least once a year because I've realized that my time in life is limited. Don't jump to conclusions, though. I don't have a fatal illness or anything like that. However, since I'm no longer in my twenties or thirties, these coming years are the last chance for me to truly enjoy encountering both positive and negative experiences without having to constantly worry about my physical condition.

1. Should start a new sentence or use 'because' after 'though' to connect the two clauses and keep it as one sentence..
2. Quotation mark was removed.
That’s a thoughtful way to approach travel. What was your most memorable trip so far? Is there a country or place you still really want to visit?

Let me clear up one thing. When I wrote 'both positive and negative experiences,' what I actually meant was 'whether good or bad.' Of course, it's better to avoid trouble, but I believe even unpleasant moments can be meaningful. That's just the nature of travel as long as it's nothing too serious. Anyway, I've visited several countries and met up with local friends there. Those were wonderful times and even highly efficient trips. On the other hand, it still felt like just sightseeing, and I didn't quite get that sense of a deeper, more immersive experience.

1. A comma was added to separate the main clause from the conditional clause.
That makes sense. You’re looking for a deeper, more immersive travel experience beyond just sightseeing. In that case, what kind of experience would make a trip feel more immersive to you? Would you consider staying longer in one place instead of visiting many countries?

I prefer to base myself in one location, even more so when traveling solo. When you travel alone, you have to do everything on your own. Once you reach your destination, you are forced to converse with people you don't know, unlike when you're with family or friends. If you go abroad but spend the entire time with the same people, it's like just scratching the surface of that place. It's comfortable, but too shallow for me. I prefer a much deeper experience, one where I can reflect, think, and truly learn something new when I visit a far-off land.

Another expression: when I visit a distant land.
I understand. It's nice that you’re clearly seeking meaningful connection and personal growth through travel. Then, when you travel solo, what kinds of conversations with locals feel most valuable to you? Is there a country where you felt you came closest to that "deep experience" you’re looking for?

it seems like most women around the world are truly afraid of traveling alone, feeling lonely and insecure. I honestly don't know why, though I would completely understand if they were visiting dangerous places. As for me, I feel like my horoscope sign, Sagittarius, calls me to wander foreign lands. There is a famous figure in Japan named Snufkin, a character from a famous Finnish tale "Moomin." It is often said that Sagittarius shares several similarities with him, both cherish their freedom, love solo travel. So I like to think of myself as a female version of Snufkin.

1. It should be capitalized.
2. It is better to use a colon to introduce the similarities.
3. Conjunction 'and' is needed between two similarities.
