The Benefits of Traveling
I realized a lot of people don’t seem to share my views about traveling. I believe it’s very important
to see the world and different cultures. It lets us open our minds to new things and we get to
experience life in exiting different ways.
Traveling gives us the opportunity to disconnect from our regular life. You get to forget your
problems/issues for a few weeks, it can also help you figure things out that you would not have
understood without the distance traveling can give you. We all have crazy schedules, work and a
family to take care of, going away alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps
even make you realize how important these people are for you. Like the saying says: we never know
what we have until we lose it.
Another great benefit is the relaxation you get to do. It’s nice to live life to its fullest and enjoy a
stress free time with yourself. Going on vacation lets us recharge our “batteries” by disconnecting
us from our regular life. When we come back we feel invigorated and we are happy to be back in
our day to day routine. It’s a very good stress remover that has a lot more to give than most people
are willing to accept.
Traveling increases our knowledge and widens our perspective. To view new customs, different
ways of living is fantastic for the mind. It gives us a new perspective about life and especially our
life, it can help us change some of our habits or even create new ones. When I travel I usually make
it a point to try new food; some cultures don’t have fries in their diet and they are all skinny, others
use spices to give taste and not oils or fats. Discovering different values and ways to get by in life is
really interesting. You also need to visit exotic new places and discover what this wonderful world
has to offer.
New experiences increase our resourcefulness by living situations you would never encounter at
home, this is great experience for you when you come back to your routine. I have noticed that
people who traveled a lot in life were ready to embrace change and have a natural ability of
overcoming problems that others don't have.
When traveling with friends or family it creates memories for a lifetime. These memories will
create a bond that nothing can erase no matter what happens with the friendship/relationship. It can
also give a new perspective on the relationship and cement the bond forever. It also gives nice
stories to tell people afterwards, you can create photo albums about your trips and when you feel
nostalgic you can take an hour of your life and experience the trips again by looking at your
pictures.
It’s never been this cheap to travel. With increasing oil prices the cheap travel era might be coming
to an end. However there are still many budget airlines fighting for your dollar right now. With the
internet and all the new technology, you can plan your trip exactly the way you want it. You can
choose your budget, the duration of the trip and what you want to do. I suggest to read travel blogs
and see what others are experiencing, it will make everything easier.
To sump up: if you have some time off I suggest to take that trip and experience what life has to
offer. Don’t wait or tell yourself there will be a better time to go. Take the risk, the opportunity and
buy your plane ticket right now and leave. When you come back you won’t be sorry that you left,
on the contrary you will be thinking of your next trip the second you come back from the airport.
