Diversity for the Essay?

<p>Do you think that talking about world traveling is a plausible essay topic? I would be discussing the countries I have visited and their cultural impact on me and my personal views on the world: India, United Kingdom, America (including Alaska), Canada, Mexico, Peru, Costa Rica, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Kenya, Holland, France, Belgium, Singapore, Hong Kong, and South Korea. Countries I've lived in: America, India, Hong Kong, South Korea, UAE (Dubai). I have been exposed to some of these countries from when I was 1 to 17.
For the younger years, some of these countries like Singapore, Kong Kong, and South Korea, I would be talking about how the culture of the country has affected my upbringing, i.e. the food and the traditions. For some of the other countries, I would be comparing them to each other and how they have widened my perspective on poverty, opportunity, and various traditions in general.
Should I focus on one country, or my experience in all of them in general? Thank you, and have a nice day.</p>

<p>All of them? I had difficulty reading your list HERE. To be touched upon in your essay would be a disastrous read I think. You only have so much space. Your supposed profound views will likely come off trite.</p>

<p>I think it’s a plausible topic but I agree with T26W4 that toughing upon all wouldn’t be great. Maybe pick two or three that had the biggest impact, instead of trying to list them all.</p>

<p>It sounds like you’ve had a very exciting life and I’m sure that’s had a large impact on you. But discussing all of these places with diminish the value of your essay and it’s topic. Try to narrow it down and focus on why they have shaped you into the person you are today. Be careful not to make the essay about the places you’ve been. It is a personal statement, not a travel log. But that’s not to say this isn’t a wonderful topic, just be careful on how you approach it.</p>
