Traveling is getting out of your comfort zone and leaving the reassurance of your home. Leaving to go explore a place you’ve only heard of and where you don’t know anybody. Hence, a place where they do not speak your language, and where you might not even find what you’re looking for.
Taking a chance on life, giving it an occasion to show you more and be happily surprised. Travel helps us get out of our habits and shake up our routine which is predictable and repetitive. It’s for this reason that we fly to the other side of the world: to be lost and feel alive!
“If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them – wherever you go.”
Travel awakens us to the world and to ourselves, it makes us see and feel everything we knew existed in a whole new way. We learned to embrace the culture we are adventuring into. How to be a part of the vibe of where we are staying, with whoever we are staying with. In other words, we got used to adapting ourselves to new situations and with every new person we meet, we learn new things.
Travelers all come from different places. We have different customs, languages, habits, hobbies. However, the one thing we do have in common is our love for travel. Our passion to experience something we haven’t before. It could be a sight, a feeling or a flavor. Anything new, that we can grow and thrive from.
Travel awakens us to the world and to ourselves, it makes us see and feel everything we knew existed in a whole new way. We understand other cultures, rather than seeing a documentary on TV. See poverty in front of us, and how our actions impact lives directly, rather than giving money to big organizations. Experience the direct negative impact of climate change and plastic pollution. We are able to become better ourselves and educate people around us in a whole new way.
Traveling is a forever learning experience in the school of life. It simply makes us aware of the world and conscious of our actions. All in all, after 6 years traveling the world, this is what we got from life. Are there any life lessons you would like to share with us?
