Top reasons you should travel

by Pooja Late so cut

It is said that “Once a year, go some place you have never been.” Travel teaches one a lot about life, and about oneself, sometimes even more than living at home can ever teach one! Travel not only takes you to new places – sometimes exotic, sometimes chaotic, but one always returns with stories they have lived that they never could have unless they actually stepped out of their home!

Sometimes, travel is about courage, sometimes it is about exploring new lands, at other times it is about meeting new people and exploring new cultures! Trying new cuisines and wearing different clothes is also a part of traveling and immersing oneself in an experience of a lifetime!

Here are all the more reasons you should definitely travel at least once a year:

Traveling is not as hard as you might think:

Truth be told, traveling is not as hard as one might assume. And it is something everybody should be able to do at least once in their lifetime. Whether they do this alone, with family or friends, whether it is through a global travel agency or not, travel should be a must. Making a list of places that you would like to visit is a good way to go about it.

Travel actually opens your eyes:

If you stay open and willing to experience new experiences with an open mind, you will be gifted beautiful experiences.

Traveling will help you learn more about yourself:

Travelling is about stepping outside of your comfort zone every now and then. You may be vacationing and relaxing at the beach or a spa, but once you step outside you will be faced with unknown roads and total strangers. You could end up getting lost or broke or someone might even steal from you. But you will learn how to face even such unexpected situations much better because you will look for solutions. Travelling will make you well-rounded human beings. No matter what challenges and opportunities you will get while on the trip, it will only make you better adapted to face life. It teach you a lot about yourself.

Travelling creates a chance to connect with new people:

It is interesting that many travelers have met some of their best friends while on the road! Even for you, the people you meet while travelling might become some of the most treasured people you will ever meet in your life! They might live elsewhere, far from your hometown and if you have connected then you can always visit each other and this way you get to visit another new place! These people from different places may have a different perspective towards life and may help you develop a fresh outlook towards it. Ultimately, they worry about all of the same things as you and you will have this bigger than life perspective because you will realize how similar we all are, despite the location of our home, we all look for the same things in life.

Travel helps you develop skills:

Maybe you run into a storm and you help villagers clean up the roads after it is gone – and you never knew that you had it in you to be able to help them successfully. Maybe you learned how to cook and then cooked them a meal – travel helps you learn useful new life skills. While travelling you might even learn new languages will help you communicate the next time you visit or meet a person from the same cultural background.
