Get on a plane and start your adventure!
How many times have we heard the words: “Travel as much as you can, as far as you can, as long as you can. People are not meant to live in one place.” Surely, often, throughout our lives we have read this quote by an unknown author, and it captured my attention, becoming aware of how much truth there is behind these words. That’s why if we have the money, the first thing we need to do is to travel. Statistics say that it’s completely worth spending money traveling around the world instead of spending money buying material things, it’s surely more fulfilling, and more gratifying.
Your journey starts as soon as you leave your house. While on a trip, in a different town, city, or country you have countless adventures, you visit different places, and you experience new emotions. When you come back home, you’re no longer the same person that left the house, you’re completely changed. You’re a different person. Each trip you undertake changes you, whether in a positive or negative way and it is guaranteed that you will see the world in a different perspective.
Climbing a mountain, walking on the beach, admiring a sunset, watching the view from the Empire State Building, going to an art museum, hearing the noises of the animals in a forest, the music of the waves crashing on the shore, or just appreciating the beauty of nature: these are some of the things you can admire, and several are the emotions you experience, if only you travel. And trust me, it’s incredible.
The only time we have to reflect, to think about ourselves, or about the world around us is when we travel. Not only do we see new places, but we meet new people, we learn new languages and new cultures, we eat new food, we discover different traditions from various countries, and the way numerous people from different nationalities live their lives.
When you come back home, you will be able to tell your family and friends all the knowledge you’ve gained from those fantastic days spent traveling and dreaming while visiting different places. Though you will have a plethora of photos and videos from your trip, the only thing that will remain permanent are the memories shared and this is what we will do, we will share our memories around the world. Trips can enrich you personally and mentally, something that you can’t learn or achieve simply by reading a book or a magazine.
Traveling can also help you break your routine, your traditional rut. We usually don’t live in the present, we are always so busy that we don’t value what’s around us. Only when we’re away from home do we appreciate or admire a sunset, a landscape, a flower, or a view. Every single trip will remain a memory, and will give you different emotions. Everyone has a special trip to remember. Cherish that.
The people that you encounter during your trip will surely teach you something valuable. You will remember them and they will remember you, they can become your friends despite the distance. You will come back home with a new outlook on heritage, culture, and life. And remember:
“Travel while you’re young and able. Don’t worry about the money, just make it work. Experience is far more valuable than money will ever be.“
