Travelling has become an important part of life for many people. But not everyone joined this useful activity. If you doubt whether travelling is worth it, we have several arguments that will convince you of the importance of this hobby.
The reasons to fall in love with travelling once and forever
Each person has his or her own reasons for not sitting still. We will only talk about those that concern everyone.
Leaving the notorious comfort zone
Travelling always means violation of the usual life rhythm. And the more often you arrange such small “trials” for yourself, the more habitual it is for you to be in motion. And this strategy is transferable to other areas as well. You no longer dream of business but begin to act. You do not expect interesting acquaintances but get to know people yourself. And all this provides incredible opportunities to change your live.
Communication and meeting new people
"A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles."
Tim Cahill
We never know what a new acquaintance may bring us. Love, life-lasting friendship, an interesting job, a promising project? There are many options - and among them may be that very acquaintance that will turn your life upside down, open the doors that you have never thought about.
The feeling of fullness, richness of life
Travelling is an effective medicine for those who do not know what to do in life, where to move, what to learn. If you understand that you are stuck at some point and cannot move forward, a change of environment, new people and new places will help to understand your true desires. Having absorbed new experience, your brain will begin to work in a different way - it will offer solutions where you have not even seen a way out before.
Searching for new ideas for business, education, life
And to be precise - searching for inspiration for any area of life. To create your own masterpiece, you need to study a lot of other people's masterpieces, imbued with someone's fulfilled dreams. That is why travelling is an ideal opportunity to “take a peek” at something, to be inspired by something, and on this basis to create something of your own, but this time unique.
Unusual experience that one cannot get at home
"To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries."
Aldous Huxley
This experience applies to everything: cuisine, music, traditions of different nations. When you come to a new country, you get acquainted with cities, villages, unusual interiors, an unfamiliar language and a host of nuances that you cannot penetrate if you learn about them from the Internet.
Only in China you can try authentic Chinese food, and in the vineries of Italy - the best Italian wine. Getting acquainted with the origins of even familiar things, you get to know them in completely different quality.
Boosting such a skill as planning
To go on a trip even to a neighboring city in your own country, you need to plan a lot:
- rental of accommodation;
- purchase of tickets;
- purchase of tickets;
- preparation of travelling documents;
- estimation of time for all scheduled tasks, etc.
What may come at first with difficulty, over time, becomes a habitual part of life. Thinking about the trip, you already automatically plan in your mind how to do everything correctly and as convenient as possible. Besides, a person who travels a lot is more attentive to security issues - and this is also a useful life skill.
The ability to cope with unexpected difficulties
If something went wrong, the traveller is forced to look for a way out, especially if there is no one nearby who can help. Any unforeseen situation mobilizes all mental, physical and emotional strength. Many of us do not even suspect how clearly, neatly and quickly they can make decisions when we are put in a tight framework. And this skill is also required to achieve success.
Memories that will last forever
"Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing."
Hellen Keller
And to preserve these memories, it’s not even necessary to review photos or videos. The gained experience will forever be imprinted in our memory and in our soul - no one returns from a trip the same person he went there. Arriving home, you will bring vivid emotions, curious observations about life, new acquaintances and many other valuable “things” with you. This is much more important than magnets or other souvenirs.
New topics for communication with other people
It is easier for those who travel to maintain a conversation in any society. If you have something to tell about the world, it is always interesting to listen to you. This is useful both when meeting avid travellers, and people who rarely leave their house, but who also want to get inspiration from someone. Perhaps you will become an example for someone and will also charge others with energy of new impressions and knowledge.
Expansion of personal experience in many areas at the same time
"Nothing develops intelligence like travel."
Emil Zola
To summarize all that has been said, travelling is a new experience, a test of one’s abilities, development of different skills, and also an opportunity to meet a lot of interesting people - after all this life will never be the same. No wonder creative people and many businessmen, when feeling that there is a crisis in their life and work, try to leave somewhere for several weeks or months. But sometimes a few days are enough to get a new stimulus.
Who needs to travel regularly?
Although we mention creative people or entrepreneurs, this does not mean that travelling is important only for them. travelling to different places and countries is important for all people of a conscious age: for children, teenagers, mature and elderly people - and no matter where they are studying, what their occupation is. Moreover, the world is huge, so everyone will choose a direction that will be interesting for them, and there are a lot of travelling formats:
- travelling outside of organized groups, while staying at good hotels and hostels;
- travelling by train, bus, plane, sea liner;
- budget programs and all-inclusive expensive tours.
Now there are offers for every budget and taste, and if you plan everything in advance, the savings will be very decent.
How often do we need to travel?
Travelling means not only trips abroad. Trips to nearby but unfamiliar cities and villages in your own country is an equally interesting and valuable experience. Therefore, you can get this experience quite often: at least once every two or three months. And it’s convenient to plan large trips once or twice a year - considering a long vacation and long weekends if you are not working for yourself and have to adjust to the work schedule.
Exploring the world and new places, getting to know other people is a real opportunity to get out of the Groundhog Day and to live your life interestingly, vividly. And then after many years, you will have something to remember and to tell your beloved ones about your life path.
