You will gain skills in independence
Even if you travel with others, traveling uses many skills and can challenge your routine living. Whether it’s navigating airports or staying on a budget, you are reinforcing important living skills. It doesn’t matter if you are a young college student, a mom of three, or an experienced traveler, there are always new things to be learned. We live in a huge and extensive world with diverse cultures. Depending on where you go, you will use a different set of skills while on your journey.
You will learn more about yourself
Traveling takes you out of your “normal” life and puts you in a different atmosphere. You are seeing new places, new people, new ways of life that can help you introspect on the way you are living. Maybe you travel to a place that makes you realize you want to change an aspect of your personal life. Maybe you realize that you actually love many things about your life and gain a new found appreciation for what you have. Sometimes a single encounter on a journey can change the course of your life forever. Keeping a journal is a great way to reflect during your journey. There are so many moments that may get lost in time, so a journal allows you to go back years later and remember those small moments.
You will have fun
There’s something about traveling that is enjoyable and inspiring. Whether you are eating amazing food, sightseeing, or leisurely walking around on a sunny day, traveling will put you in a good mood. Sure there can be stressful moments and sometimes you may have bad luck and things won’t go your way. But the memories you make and the stories you have will last a lifetime! The next time you travel you will have the lessons you learned from your last trip to have an even better one.
Short and to the point meaning of travel. Very well written!
