To me a passport is as important as an ID. I don't know when I got my first one but I must've been 9 at the latest (if not younger). Growing up in a small unstable country, I certainly needed to have a way to get out if I wanted. And since I moved away from Lebanon, I've been an expat for a while in separate countries, and I often need to go back home to visit my family or to just go travel...
So yeah, considering my background, it's essential. And I am waiting until I get a better passport, one that allows me to travel without pre-applying for visas, and whatnot... Hopefully in 3 years. All passports are not equal, for sure.
