Updated: 26 April 2023

Even at first glance, it is so obvious to everyone who meets me that I love traveling. The idea of travel, packing my bags and disappearing to someplace new, lives inside the brain allllll the time. I mean, I spend my spare time on Google flights, haha.

Not to mention, whenever I meet someone for the first time or even encounter an old friend, I instantly want to talk about my upcoming trips, ask about their own adventures, share embarrassing and funny travel stories, and swap bucket list ideas.

And yeah, I’ll admit it. I’m probably a little annoying to my non-traveling friends and acquaintances, but I can’t help myself. My “wanderlusty” passion seeps through my pores, out of my control.

Passion is a good thing, I guess?

A few years ago, on my 29th birthday, I wrote about 29 Ways Travel Changes You forever. I know that ever since I started my solo adventures, I slowly morphed into a far more spontaneous, well-rounded, and grateful person. I used to freak out at plans changing or sudden cancellations, but now, disruption to my routine just rolls off my shoulders. 

Although I still stand by the ideas in that post, I wanted to return to my “graduate school” roots and felt inspired to write an entire essay explaining why I love traveling so much, haha. I know it is stating the obvious in many ways, but sometimes we all need a little dose of inspiration, especially after the stress and uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic that put global travel on hold for nearly two years. 

Exploring the world costs time and money (not to mention, boarding planes stresses me to the max!) so the trade-offs need to be worth it, right?

“I Love to Travel Because” — A Complete Essay

Okay, full disclosure , some of the reasons why I love traveling are totally superficial and shallow.

I mean, think about it. Travel makes you look cool. For instance, an ongoing joke about dating apps (haha) is that every single profile professes a deep love of travel. It’s damn near cliche at this point. And I understand why. 

I also love to travel, because being in a new place means I’m allow to indulge and spoil myself. Pampering myself has become even more important on solo trips in my 30s , honestly.

I mean, isn’t it nice to eat a lot of delicious food, explore museums stuffed with world class art, and capture the perfect Instagram shot on top of a mountain crowned in a pink sunrise’s glow? Of course!

However, all jokes aside, I love to travel for deeper personal reasons, too. The experiences go far beyond pretty pictures and a full stomach.

I deeply believe travel makes you richer, not in your wallet, but in your intelligence and compassion. Not to mention, roaming this planet makes you realize your full potential and helps you learn what makes you truly happy. Let’s break it down.

Travel is My Passion

Life without passion is a prison sentence, in my opinion. Each day blends together until they are identical.

Wake up. Go to work. Eat dinner. Watch television. Sleep.

Time slips away without accomplishing anything. Not good.

We’re all on this earth for a deeper purpose. We need to discover that purpose and let it embrace us. By doing that, we cultivate the abilities to face any challenges that come flying in our direction.

For me, travel is my passion. Travel is my purpose. Not to mention, I channel this passion by using my own experiences to help people feel brave enough to take the trips of their dreams.

Recently, I’m listening to a lot of motivational podcasts on my commutes to work. For example, I love “The School of Greatness” and think these interviews provide great insight on practical ways to improve yourself. Seriously, if you’re struggling, then give this podcast a try.

Anyway, one of the reoccurring themes on “The School of Greatness” is to find a passion and purpose in life. No one can take passion away from you. It’s freeing.

And travel? Is a beautiful passion. Most importantly, I like to learn about humanity, beyond my country’s borders, in order to better connect with others. It’s a blessing.

Travel Helps Me Believe in People.

Travel restores my faith in people. It’s true.

Okay, I hate to out myself on this blog, but I’m a total cynic sometimes. Full disclosure.

In general, I have a very hard time trusting people, mostly because I worry they’ll lie or take advantage of me. And sadly, some people have done just that (another story for another day, my friends). It’s super challenging not to be jaded.

Yet travel reminds me so many kind-hearted, inspiring, brave, and intelligent people exist in the world. For example, I’ll never forget how complete strangers invited me to lunch in Nazare and helped me find the way to Stockholm after my train was canceled.

I’ve also had strangers talk to me on planes to calm my anxiety over flying. I had one woman stay awake the entire flight on my trip to Madrid, for instance, and reassure me whenever we hit a bump in the sky.

Travel reminds you that most people are inherently good. They are. I promise.

Even at home, the travel community’s members never stop encouraging me to transform into a better version of myself. For example, attending Women’s Travel Fest in New York City connected me with so many incredible women who are living their best lives every single day.

Travel Heals My Insecurities.

On a similar note, I’m a person who loves to travel, because exploring the world builds incredible self-confidence and worth. I’m able to accept and embrace my flaws much more readily after traveling somewhere epic and having time to reflect.

In our society, there’s an unspoken pressure to embody perfection, and falling short of that standard isn’t acceptable.

Think about it. When was the last time you felt safe admitting that you were angry or jealous and received zero judgement or advice regarding your turbulent feelings?

We all have flaws and insecurities. We’ll never reach this ridiculous idea of perfection either. 

Travel gives you a chance to push beyond these troublesome traits, which we all have, and even accept them for what they are.

Is traveling alone scary? Absolutely.

However, the fear is invaluable, because you need to get out of your comfort zone for personal growth to happen. For example, I was terrified to go paragliding in Slovenia, not only because I hate flying on general principle, but because I’ve never identified myself as a dare devil. I felt like an imposter. But when my feet touched the ground again, I realized how much courage I actually possess. Cool, huh?

As I’ve said, we all deal with insecurities. All of us. But these supposed flaws don’t have to define us. Another major reason why I love traveling is because I was able to move beyond these flaws.

Travel Makes Me Appreciate Natural Beauty.

I’m a city gal at heart. New York City is my “happy place,” because I love the endless entertainment options, great shopping, and diverse population. Bring me the city lights.

On the other hand, travel forces me to return to nature and foster a deeper appreciation for the earth. My breath was taken away in both the Scottish Highlands and Banff National Park. Crystal clear glacier lakes. Massive green mountains. Fresh air filling my lungs. Our planet is an absolute gem.

I’m even willing to get my hands dirty now!

And, even at home, I’m trying to make getting out into nature a priority. I will say New Jersey has plenty of beautiful beaches, and I fully intend to take advantage of them.

Travel Has Me Falling in Love with Myself.

Self-love is grossly underestimated.   A lot of us are taught to place other peoples’ needs ahead of our own – which is especially true for women. Society pressures and molds us into the perfect daughters, sisters, friends, girlfriends, wives, mothers.

When do we have time to pour the same kindness back onto ourselves to ensure we’re mentally healthy and happy?

There aren’t enough hours in a day. It’s sad.

Travel reclaims your time, and lets you spoil yourself. It’s amazing.

For instance, I took myself out on dates in Seattle. I bought super expensive chocolate and sat in the park and took pictures of Mount Rainier, and it was the best thing ever. I also spent over $70 on myself at the Walrus and the Carpenter in Ballard, and didn’t care that my indulgence had reached ridiculous levels. I was worth it, damn it!

By traveling alone, you can give the love that you freely hand out to everyone to yourself. Be selfish. It’s a wonderful feeling.

Ultimately, I Love to Travel and Experience New Cultures.

My passion for new places and cultures isn’t something that appeared out of nowhere in my adult life. Far from it.

I’ve always wanted to travel ever since I was young. When I was in middle school (wow, I was twelve at one point?), I was convinced that I would move to England and design houses.

While I think the latter had to do with playing too much Sims , my desire to explore beyond the borders of the United States never weakened. Not once.

Travel has made me a stronger person, and I couldn’t imagine my life without endless plane tickets and backpacks. Breaking outside my comfort zone strengthens my self-esteem. It’s a precious gift, the best one I can give myself.

Finally I feel like I have a deeper appreciation for the world now. I’m not as closed off or shallow, and consider myself very receptive to different opinions and ways of life. Travel makes me a better person.

If You are a Person Who Loves to Travel …

We’re soul sisters (or brothers if you’re a dude! Haha).

Here’s some final parting wisdom for my fellow travelers. Know that I think you’re amazing for pursuing your passions!

Don’t Feel Guilty.

You’re probably on the receiving end of some judgment. Do any of these lovely nuggets sound familiar?

“Enjoy it now. When you’re married and have kids, you won’t be able to travel anymore.”

“Don’t you want to settle down?”

“Are you running from something?”

These statements are intended to make you feel guilty. End of story. Don’t ever apologize for traveling too much!

You’re allowed to travel as much (or as little) as you want without other people impacting your choices. So, whenever you hear varieties of the above comments, simply smile and nod and move on. Guilt has no place in your adventurous life. BYE.

Share Your Travel Passions with Others.

Even as a solo traveler, we want to talk to people who have the same passions as us. It’s only natural. So, being part of a community makes travel even more special.

Facebook has several groups and communities that will connect you with fellow travelers. I love giving travel advice to random strangers in these groups! It makes me feel important.

Not to mention, it’s an easy way to hook up with likeminded people when you’re in a new country or city.

Furthermore, if you run a travel blog, then you can join classes and workshops (such as BlogHouse) , and also attend blogging conferences to make new friends. My blogger friends are some of the greatest people I know, and they support my dreams and goals whenever I feel low. Their encouragement is irreplaceable. You can’t put a price tag on it.

Finally, if you live in or are close to a big city, then check out your local Travel Massive chapter. These events will connect you with travel industry members and influencers, which is great if you’re planning on starting a travel blog.

Not planning on running a travel business? Still go to Travel Massive and make friends! The atmosphere has always been very welcoming.

Share your passion and build a supportive circle.

Implement “Travel Lessons” at Home.

Most of us aren’t digital nomads. We have a permanent address with established careers. We don’t travel 24/7. But another reason why I love traveling is because I can take those memories home with me. 

Regardless, it’s easy to fall into depression at home when you love to travel so, so, so much. Sometimes you even feel like an “outsider” in your own neighborhood, but don’t let isolation creep into your brain. It’s a mistake.

Instead treat your home as another travel destination. Local getaways are fantastic.   Research a cool attraction, park, or restaurant in your own backyard and then go explore.

Curiosity and wonder doesn’t die simply because you’re at home now. You never know what special gems might lurk around the corner.

Get out there!

Are you a person who loves to travel (I think I know the answer to this one)? Why do you love traveling? What trips have created the fondest memories for you? Share all your thoughts in the comments. Thanks (as always) for your continued support.

At 22, I took my first overseas trip to Bermuda. Took a break to follow the "American Dream." Had my self-esteem broken. Embarked on my first solo trip to Scotland at 26. The travel bug dug its way under my skin. I now book multiple trips a year.

10 Reasons I Love Traveling (and Why You Will, Too)

• August 2, 2023
• 6 minute read

It’s no secret that most people desire to travel much more often than the normal 9-to-5 gives them time for. Traveling is a transformative experience that enriches our lives in countless ways. From discovering new cultures to pushing the limits of our comfort zones, the thrill and adventure of traveling offers an escape from the ordinary.

In this blog post, I’ll share ten compelling reasons why I love traveling, and I’m certain that these reasons will inspire you to embark on your own adventures.

Here are the top 10 reasons I love traveling!

Affiliate links are used in this post. for more about affiliate links, check out my disclaimer policy ..

1 || We get to experience new cultures

This is perhaps the most rewarding aspect of travel. Sadly, it’s lost on many people, especially nowadays, as social media is flooding with people just looking for a good photo or to be able to say they’ve been there. Don’t be that way! Actually immerse yourself in these new cultures and you will absolutely fall in love.

It also teaches you empathy and increases your overall social intelligence. Embracing different cultures broadens your perspectives in unimaginable ways and fosters a deeper sense of appreciation for the diversity our world has to offer. These encounters not only introduce you to new customs and traditions practiced around the world, but also creates lasting memories that will shape your understanding of the world and the people living in it.

• This one is a large reason why I loved my time at Oxford, England . Immersing myself in their way of life for 5 weeks really grew my appreciation for slow travel, whereas before, I was a 100% advocate for fast-paced travel.

2 || It takes us out of our comfort zones

We all have our familiar boundaries that we feel safe in, and once we reach adulthood, and get into a routine, we don’t often stray outside of them. However, living this way leads to remaining stagnant, to getting comfortable and not continuously trying to grow. Stepping outside the bounds of our familiarity is where our personal growth happens. Even if you don’t realize it, we all have more growing to do. It never, never stops!

Travel only enhances, and often speeds up, this growth! It challenges you to face the unknown and forces you to face uncertainty. Perhaps you travel to a country with a language barrier, or head to an adventure capital like New Zealand to bungee jump . Whatever you end up doing, it’s the act of embracing these challenges that ultimately fosters personal growth. This can result in increased resilience, adaptability, and confidence.

3 || Traveling hones planning and organization skills

This is definitely one of my favorite reasons I love traveling! Planning a trip requires meticulous organization and attention to detail. Sure, you could wing it by not creating an itinerary, doing little to no research, and leaving bookings for the day off, but that’s asking for chaos. While you might enjoy the trip, things will inevitably go wrong, and you’ll hit constant bumps along the way.

For me, I plan as much as I possibly can. My guides here on the ErickaRheanne blog (such as my guide to visiting Massachusetts ) are so in-depth to avoid any problems or complications. And so many trips have gone perfectly because of this intensive planning and attention to detail.

From crafting itineraries to booking accommodations, transportation, and activities, traveling sharpens these planning and organizational skills. The ability to research, budget, and prepare for a journey not only ensures the overall travel experience goes as seamlessly as possible but also proves invaluable in terms of our personal and professional lives.

• My continuously growing planning skills are evidenced through my extensive, comprehensive travel guides, such as this one on Alaska .

4 || It teaches us skills applicable in life and career

Building upon what I said earlier, traveling teaches us valuable life knowledge and skills that can help us greatly in other areas of our lives. Traveling teaches you how to improvise, communicate effectively, and adapt to a variety of different situations.

All of these skills are transferable and will continue to benefit you for the rest of your life. This also boosts your confidence and assurance in further ventures you might pursue.

5 || It boosts our happiness and gives us something to look forward to

Anticipation is an extremely powerful emotion. It can literally impact your mental health even in the worst of times. Travel fills our hearts with excitement and joy.

The mere thought of exploring new destinations, indulging in local food, and immersing ourselves in breathtaking landscapes can instantly lift our spirits and add happiness and worth to our lives.

Planning a trip also gives you something to look forward to and keeps your mind off of areas of your life that cause you stress, anger, or sadness. Travel can also be a selfish activity (in a good way!) that forces you to think about yourself and put your desires first even if you’re the type to put everyone else ahead of yourself.

6 || It frees us from the constraints of regular life and allows us to escape reality

Sometimes, the routine of daily life can get monotonous. Or, for some, daily life might not be anything like what they imagined for themselves. Traveling can liberate you from the demands of work and responsibilities by offering a reprieve via escapism.

As you immerse yourself in new surroundings, you’ll experience rejuvenating freedom and return to your daily life with more energy, or perhaps a new outlook.

7 || Traveling opens us up to new friendships and romantic connections

Whether you’re traveling with friends or family, or going solo, visiting new places can open you up to reconnections or new connections. Whether it’s a romantic encounter in a charming city or a meaningful friendship forged during a group tour, these connections can enrich your life in ways you never imagined.

8 || It helps us reflect and get in touch with our feelings and emotions

There’s something about travel that really gets us in touch with our innermost thoughts and emotions. Sometimes, we end up confronting and reflecting on things we didn’t even know were festering deep inside.

Traveling offers us a unique opportunity to disconnect from the hustle of everyday life and reconnect with ourselves in meaningful ways. This times allows us to reflect on ourselves and our life, then reassess how to approach our lives and direct our potential futures when we return.

9 || It lets us experience rare, inspiring moments of awe and adrenaline

One of my absolute favorite feelings from travel is the awe I feel at the truly amazing beauty of some destinations. The feeling is best when it’s completely unexpected.

This occurred when I hiked Arthur’s Seat while I was in Edinburgh, Scotland . I actually was not too thrilled about the idea leading up to it, because I figured it was “just another hill” and what could be so great about the view from up there that I couldn’t get in the United States? Boy, was I wrong! It ended up being my FAVORITE part of my 5 weeks of travel throughout in the United Kingdom .

Any kind of adventure that spikes my adrenaline is also a big reason to love travel. Whether you are standing on the glass of the Skywalk at Grand Canyon West, or bungee jumping in Queenstown, New Zealand, or whitewater rafting in Colorado, adventure awaits you everywhere.

All these experiences can leave you breathless with excitement and wonder, and what better feeling is there than that?

10 || Traveling aids us in personal transformations and allows us to live out our dreams

Ultimately, traveling has a transformative power unlike anything else. It can truly make you more open-minded, adventurous, and fulfilled. The memories you make while traveling will continue to shape who you become, and will give you the additional courage you need to chase after your dreams, and the life you desire.

It can also simply just give you a sense of purpose and renew your vigor for life.

And those are 10 reasons I love traveling and why I think you will, too!

Through travel, you can experience self-discovery while also creating unforgettable memories. These experiences can teach you invaluable skills that encourage growth in your personal and professional life while also increasing your mental health.

There’s so many other reasons I love traveling that I didn’t list here. And if you’re ready to bite the bullet and find your own reasons to love travel, I’ve got tons of information on planning your upcoming travels.

Why I Love Travelling – a personal story about how travel changed my life

Aug 6, 2022 | Feature | 0 comments

If you’re still wondering why I love travelling so much, then read on for my personal story about how travel changed my life! It’s hard to imagine where it all began because I wasn’t raised to see the world. But once the floodlights switched on and I had a taste of travel, there was no coming back. Travelling has opened my eyes to new cultures and different ways of life and shown me an endless amount of natural beauty. It has changed me as a person for the better and given me experiences that I will never forget.

There are special memories in life, like when I met my wife for the first time, my kids were born, and we bought our first house and truly felt like adults. But for me, some of my most cherished memories are from my travels. I love the adventure and excitement that comes with planning a trip, not knowing what lies ahead but being confident that it will be amazing.

Hey, not that my wedding day over 16 years ago and the day my kids were born don’t top the list; of course, they do. However, there is something about getting away from every day and exploring our big beautiful world.

From the first time I stepped foot on a plane as a young adult, I was hooked. I loved everything about flying; the anticipation of takeoff, the views from above, and finally touching down at a new destination. The sense of freedom and adventure that comes with travel is unlike anything else. And I knew that I wanted more.

So, why do I love travelling? For me, it’s all about the experiences. Each new place I visit presents an opportunity to learn something new, see things from a different perspective and make memories that will last a lifetime. 

Whether watching the sunset over the Himalayas in Nepal, I was hiking the jungle in Borneo or enjoying a coffee in a Bali cafe. While travelling, I will always create memories that I will treasure forever.

The sunrise from Chisapani in Nepal.

Why do I love travelling, and how did it change my life? Let’s go back a bit before I even saw another country outside of Australia. By the end, you’ll understand why I love travelling and how I can’t stop.

Unless a virus takes control of the world, naturally.

I never travelled internationally growing up.

I don’t think I am alone in this because international travel is undoubtedly more convenient in modern times than in my youthful years in the 80s and 90.s. But my family never went on holidays overseas, except for domestic trips to Sydney from Melbourne. That was fine, Sydney was superb, and the memories were strong, especially the beachside area of Manly. Yet, international travel remained a mystery. 

However, going overseas was a pipedream growing up. It all changed when I got my first real job and joined the Australian Army.

My first overseas trip came about a deployment in the Army.

On my first overseas trip, I didn’t even have a passport. I didn’t need one getting deployed to another country with the Army, so that’s always a remarkable fact I like to mention from time to time. How is this for a little fun fact?

Anyway, my deployment was peacekeeping in East Timor, and I was there for just three months. It was a fantastic experience and one that changed my life in so many ways that I am forever grateful for.

However, it wasn’t a holiday. Besides being based in the hills of Bobonaro with fantastic views near the Indonesian Border, there wasn’t a lot of time to be a tourist.

Visiting South Korea is when travelling truly opened my eyes.

Okay, my first real trip overseas with an official passport happened in 2005 when I visited Seoul, South Korea, with my Korean girlfriend. Spoiler alert She became my wife, and we’ve been married 16-plus years now, so happy ending and all that.

But this is where I had what I like to call my ‘travel epiphany’. I hadn’t given travel much thought, but being in Korea and seeing the sights of Seoul, exploring the city region and seeing impressive palaces and temples and so forth was genuinely fantastic. I loved it; I was beginning to get the travel bug.

The Gyeongbokgung Palace must be on your list during your vacation in Seoul.

A travelling Halt as Marriage and Kids took over.

Unfortunately, a trip to South Korea would be the last trip abroad for eight years, that’s right, eight years! Because we got married, had kids and bought a house, the critical stuff required in adulthood. Which is excellent, I love being a husband and father, but the travel itch was still there. I often researched for trips, but timing and financings were not there.

But why do I love travelling? Especially when I barely touched the surface in the travel stratosphere.

It’s hard to explain why I love travelling so much because it is an indescribable feeling whether you travel a lot or not.

But as circumstances changed, kids grew older, and we had a bit more money, we finally started to travel again.

And I haven’t stopped since!

Travel restarted with a trip to Fiji.

Suppose I ever think about why I love travelling. In that case, the paradise islands of Fiji in the Pacific stand out because it was here on the beaches of Fiji that I realized that I wanted to travel more. That I needed to see more places and explore this big wide world we live in.

However, it was not only the stunning beachside resorts and cocktails that helped too; the locals were the kindest people I had ever met. They had this unique way of life and culture that I wanted to learn more about.

If a tiny island country could get me enthusiastic about the rest of the world, I was keen to see what other countries had in store.

I was visiting a boutique island in Fiji.

Then Asia came calling again, and I never looked back.

Fiji got the blood pumping for travel. Therefore it was time to travel more frequently. With Asia being the most affordable place to travel from Australia, it became my haven for a trip.

Over the years following Fiji and before the virus hit the world, which took travel to a halt, I visited terrific destinations.

I return trips to South Korea, expanding further than Seoul and seeing beautiful destinations in Muju, Busan and Jeju. I had several trips to Bali, Malaysia and Thailand. I’ll never forget my tenth wedding Anniversary in Koh Samui, Thailand, where it became the Island of Love.

I became well-travelled in Asia, but what stands out the most was two adventures of different kinds. Firstly, in 2017, was the volunteering experience I had in Vientiane, Laos, where I tried my hand at teaching English to school kids and monks.

The second unbelievable experience was hiking in Nepal, just outside Kathmandu, and seeing the unbelievable Himalayas with my two eyes. It was better than any picture I could see on social media or television.

The continent of Asia is spectacular for many reasons, and I’m excited to see what else is out there in this big wide world. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll conquer Europe or even Africa! And that’s why I love travelling, it changes you as a person, witnessing experiences of different cultures in different destinations.

Happy and smiling from a high vantage point in Koh Samui in Thailand.

My most memorable trips to this date

Hiking in Nepal, volunteering in Laos or having a wedding anniversary in Koh Samui all stands out, but what indeed is the most memorable trip. Well, I can tell you, it’s none of the above.

• Kyoto in Japan – Japan is incredible, and Kyoto is a beautiful city to get lost in for a few days. I saw the best tourist attractions, the Fushimi Inari-Taisha and the Kinkaku-Ji, to only name a few best places to visit in Kyoto. The temples, the food and the culture make this place very special to me.
• South Korea – Whether it’s Seoul, Busan, Jeju, or Gyeongju, there’s an excellent reason I’ve returned to Korea on numerous occasions . It’s a beautiful country with something new, whether the food, the nightlife, or just exploring a new neighbourhood.
• Nusa Lembongan in Indonesia – The beautiful island of Bali, Nusa Lembongan is the perfect place to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of city life. With its turquoise waters, white sand beaches and coral reefs, it’s easy to spend a few days on the island and cherish life and what is around you.

Paradise awaits any traveller on arrival in Nusa Lembongan.

How my love for travel opened my world to travel writing

The love of travel inspired my blog, Fair Dinkum Traveller, which started in 2016. It’s a place where I share my personal travel stories, itineraries and tips to help others explore this big wide world we live in.

I have visited some unique places as a travel writer and influencer through writing. I’ve written about travel destinations, especially my immense love of Asia and my home country in Australia.

I’ve been very fortunate to have articles published in well-known travel publications, giving me more opportunities to quench my thirst for travel.

But why do I write about travel? I want to inspire others to get out there and explore this big wide world we live in. I want others to know that seeing the world is possible, whether you’re from a small town or city.

And that’s why I love travelling, because it changes you as a person, witnessing experiences of different cultures in different destinations.

WHY DO YOU LOVE TO TRAVEL?

Worldwide thoughts and quotes on the benefits and beauty of travel.

Carolyn Canetti

I polled my friends and family from all over the world on why they love to travel. Here are their responses:

"I think the exposure to new places and new people can be really reviving personally and also eye opening to see how other people live. To see how life functions, whether human or natural life, in other places is really humbling. It's easy to have your status quo at home, but as soon as you're in a new place - all bets are off. You can do anything, and are so willing to try new stuff to push your own boundaries purely because you're in a new place."

"I love to travel because not only is it the ultimate adventure but it also exposes you to new types of people, different ways of living, and opens up your mind. I just like to walk around in beautiful places that resemble the shire from Lord of the Rings while exploring new culinary terrains."

-Matty G "Traveling reminds me that my life isn't the only one I could live and that in the grand scheme of things, I'm pretty unimportant to this world we live in. People get so caught up in their daily lives and forget that they can be somewhere or someone else tomorrow if they'd like. There are no limits in the grand scheme of things except the ones we create for ourselves. Traveling helps make sure I don't forget that ."

"Travel puts me out of my comfort zone and inherently breeds challenge . I'm a firm believer that challenge leads to curiosity, maturity and growth."

"I use travel as an escape from daily life. Having future trips already planned brings me joy and gives me something to look forward to. I've never regretted a single trip I've taken ."

"I love to travel for a few reasons. First, you automatically become a naturally curious being . You are a traveler, tourist, backpacker, etc and even the most basic thing on a trip becomes an adventure - like catching a bus between cities. Second, you are hyper aware of your surroundings and appreciate the beauty or intrigue of a new land and culture! Third, when I travel and then return home, I see home in a whole new light . For example when I studied abroad in Buenos Aires and came back to NOLA, I realized there was so much more exploring of my own city that I needed to do and I was excited and motivated to do that, whereas before I was stuck in my daily routine."

"I travel to eat all the foods ."

" I love figuring things out . I love seeing new people."

"When I think about travel, I mostly think about traveling solo. I love it because it displaces you. In a state displacement you experience wonder, discovery, awe, discomfort. If you go with an open mind, you discover things about yourself, about others and about the world you would have not learned otherwise. It opens you up, turns on new lights so you can see and experience the world in a new way- even when you go 'home'. We get so involved in our current environments and lives - the chance to step out and explore and experience elsewhere gives us perspective and often provides new lenses with which we can see and think about who we are , what are doing with our lives and what we care about. The whole experience is filled with all these beautiful and crazy colors and feelings."

"I like the discovery part of it... I like to explore new things, new places, new views, new people, new everything...T here are many ways to explore new things, but traveling is the most satisfactory as it is the most comprehensive way as it encompasses many elements from views to people to foods etc. I also like getting away from the routine, and the daily chores and daily work and daily life and have a kind of a break from reality if you want... On the other hand with all the new crazy security issues, travel is not so "free spirited" anymore, as now one has to keep in mind and be aware and even worry a bit when traveling, when in the past the idea of travel was to get away from worries."

"I like to travel so that I don't have to text anyone for a week."

" It's fun ."

"People. Whether it's hiking a scenic overlook with old friends, or eating flatbread on the side of the road with new friends, you forge a special bond when you're both out of your elements. Every moment is an adventure."

"I love to travel to experience things and places that are completely unknown or different to me."

"Traveling somewhere new is an opportunity to really engage in being lost. You have to pay close attention to figure out what's your place, and how to act, and how to be respectful. You start to question and reflect on your own assumptions and behavior. You have a chance to represent your home , which both makes you consider other people's perspectives and better articulate who it is you want to be putting forth into the world." ​-Ella

"I love to travel for so many reasons. There is nothing like getting off a plane/train/bus and seeing the beauty of a new place for the first time . Sometimes, the outer beauty is overwhelming and I have to stand still and let time stop to try to take it all in at once. Sometimes, the beauty is less about aesthetics and more about that first conversation with a local when I am pleasantly overwhelmed by their openness and rich culture. I love walking several miles each day in a new place and thinking about who has walked there before me. It can be startling to realize that I do not know a single person for miles and miles, but I think that's part of what keeps it exciting. I feel the most 'alive' when I am exploring ."

"I love to travel to get away from the chaos of life, when I come home I've gained more perspective ."

"The world is full of interesting people, beautiful landscapes, incredible food, amazing music, and different cultures, and life is more interesting when you make time to enjoy as much of it as you can! We are lucky enough to have the ability to access all of this relatively easily, it's our responsibility to travel as much as possible and learn from other cultures."

“Because everything unimportant falls away - all the little stresses of New York. And I can just be. And learn. And see. And really truly lose myself in all the new things in a new different place.”

"I like getting out of the every day routine of things - it helps me get perspective on ma lyfe. And I like seeing how other people live and meeting the Matt Goodmans of other countries ."

“I love to travel because there's so much I haven't seen and every time I go somewhere new I learn about people and places I never thought about before and that's pretty neat. You can only see so much in a photo you gotta go live it to experience .”

“I love that a totally new perspective makes me reconsider my priorities and allows me to kind of recenter myself. Also food is delicious and I'm a sucker for taking pictures of things I've never seen.”

“I love moving away from the tourist trail and exploring where the locals eat, drink, dance and live. I find it so much more meaningful to see and immerse myself in that side of a city. It's nice to get away from the Aussie accents, English speakers and cameras, and just wander around and explore, and imagine yourself living there . I love everything about traveling, particularly trying new cuisines. I despise even the thought of eating at a Western fast food restaurant, when you have so many incredible and new foods to try. Even the experiences that are frustrating or difficult at the time, end up being some of the most memorable, and some of the most hilarious stories to share and reminisce about.”

“I love to travel because it excites me and energizes me ! It takes me out of my comfort zone and exposes me to cultures, landscapes and people that I find so inspiring.”

“Mainly to meet, experience, and learn from different people, for those wild unimaginable moments that just fall into place and make you question if your dreaming , for that crazy sensation of not knowing what's next, and overall for self reflection and personal growth.”

“I'd say I love to travel because I don't want to wake up one day when I'm 80 years old and say to myself I wish I had done that .”

"I like the feeling of adventure, like anything could happen ."

“ My first trip to Kenya made me examine and question how I live and what is important . It made (and continues to make) me wonder who is ‘happier’. I see such discrepancies between my life and others, although I live in a nice apartment with all of the ‘things’ I can desire - my life might be lonelier without a small community support system. So which life is ‘better’? This existential question is made sharper to me by traveling to countries whose cultures, customs and socioeconomic levels are different from what I grew up with and still. I also enjoy learning about the history of other cultures, why heritage and values result in suspicion to refugees and foreigners. This is a wake-up to me that not everyone (not most people) embraces diversity in every way . Much as I like to travel, I love to come home though.”

"I love the smells, tastes, sounds, sights and feelings of a place - new or familiar. I think my memories are closely interwoven with the scent of an event or a period of time so being able to catalogue a place by smell helps me remember the feeling of being there. Also food. Hooray for all the food and recipes that have been passed through generations, families and communities . I also love the feeling that I am somewhere removed from my everyday experience. It is exciting and relieving all at the same time. I love that traveling is not just one thing. Traveling can be fun. It can be invigorating, enlightening, powerful, relaxing, overwhelming, emotional or even a struggle.."

"The anticipate of travel is always the first exciting thing for me. The sheer idea of going somewhere far away. It's part coping mechanism, part restlessness, and part soul seeking. I love witnessing the way different people and cultures move through the world - how they interact with each other, love each other, how they make art, how they define community, what they value, what they fight for, and what they believe in spiritually . With every new encounter, you experience a new part of yourself."

“I love to travel because it takes me out of my comfort zone and I am always learning something new about myself and about that place each day I'm there.”

"For me it's meeting new people and learning about their different way of life - culture, traditions, food. And seeing what makes each place so unique ! Love finding a spot with a view that I'll always remember about that specific trip."

"I love the anticipation of a trip. Looking ahead, saving, planning, researching, all make the trip a greater adventure. I love the sense involved in experiences a new place, especially the taste. Every trip is magical and I feel fortunate; free to have wings at this stage in life."

"I can't remember a time when I wasn't dreaming about exploring a far away place. Trying to answer why I love travel is like trying to ask myself why I eat ice cream. I just love it. There's something so magical about getting the chance to live in each new place, surrounded by a new culture of sights, food and people."

"I love to see how other cultures eat and dance! Food and music is the best way to interact with people if you can't speak each other's language, and getting involved is the best way to show your appreciation . I also love challenging my own ideas about other cultures. It's so refreshing (and educating) to experience another side to what we see on TV, in movies and online.”

"I like to travel to understand history and learn how others live across the world. And for the food obviously ."

“I love to travel because I love to learn and meet inspiring people. It's important to educate yourself about different cultures and its pretty sweet to learn new skills (even if you pay for something 'tourists' do). Submitting yourself to the unpredictability of travel gives you experiences, some good others bad, that ultimately contribute to your world knowledge - even if it's only becoming a bit more aware of what is around you . Oh, and its fun learning dirty words in different languages.”

“I love to travel because it takes me outside of my culture and privilege and reminds me of great inequities in our world. Travel inspires me to learn more, think more and to better serve our world community. ”

“I rewatched Midnight In Paris last night. So I ask, 'is the age we are living in a golden age?' Certainly if Trump is president then No. But how would we ever know? The path towards the answer is to travel. Traveling allows you to drink with Hemingway, walk the path of Jesus, and gush over Joni Mitchell. I travel so I can debate and discuss this necessary question."

"My favorite part of traveling is being exposed to food, people, places, and things I've never experienced. To get that feeling of the first time is exciting ."

Why do people decide to leave their beloved home and travel all over the world? Why do some people love travelling more than being at home? Every traveller has her/his own reasons of doing so. The love for travel is the reason why. Here are my reasons why I love traveling so much.

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

I’ll give you five reasons why I love travelling so much. I’m not going to write a whole essay about it, but I could. I think I am loving traveling more and more since the last couple of years and I can only see my love for travel grow even bigger. My reasons for the love of travelling will only expand. And that’s such a cool process.

Why I love traveling – it’s eye-opening.

I have never been one to live in her own little life bubble and forgetting how life works in other places. Even so, traveling is extremely eye-opening. I love to watch how people live in other countries, what their traditions are and learn about their traditions and even celebrate with them. It might give you a new perspective on life and make you (more) humble of the life you have. When you’re travelling: you can do anything, you can go anywhere and I am so willing to try new stuff and push my own boundaries because I am in a new place. It gives me more strength and courage to step out of my comfort zone.

It also gives me a perspective on my own life. The life I’m currently living, doesn’t have to be my life forever. There’s so much out there which makes life so exciting. You don’t have to stay in that same position or same country if you’re not completely happy.

Why I love traveling – Explore, explore and explore

Along with the eye-opening part, I absolutely love exploring. Every country has its own beauty. Every country has its own story. I love to get to know the story through talks with locals and by looking around the place and getting to know the history. The landscape of a country tells so much without words. Sometimes I’m just in awe, even when no one has spoken. That feeling of admiration, pure happiness, calmness and excitement is something I want to explore every day of my life. I’m naturally very curious and very eager to learn and travelling combines these two perfectly!

Why I love traveling – Getting to know yourself

Such a cliché, I know. People take a gap year to travel and to “find out who they are.” How many times have you heard it? And as cliché as it sounds, it is true. Traveling gets you out of your comfort zone, especially if you travel alone. You have to let go of your own way of living and adapt to the lifestyle of the destination. The only one who you can really rely on, is yourself. You have to trust yourself and your instincts. This is such a great learning process and you will get to know yourself so well. It might also give you a possibility to reflect on life.

That’s what I did when I was in Bali and I came back such a happier person. I’m always looking ahead of looking back. What’s going on tomorrow, what has to be done for next week, how can I achieve that one goal and WHY did I do that stupid thing two weeks ago. That was my mind for years and years. My journey to Bali and the things I learned from the locals gave me a new perspective. To live by the day. To enjoy everyday to the fullest. To live in the moment. And I have gotten so much better at it and I’m so much happier. Less stress, more happiness. Let’s all embrace the “living in the moment” vibes. We have no control over yesterday, we have no control over tomorrow. We do have control over today, so let’s take full control of our lives.

Why I love traveling – Appreciation of your own life

The new perspective gave me a new appreciation of life. Sometimes I’m so sucked up in the daily life, that I lose sight of what I have. There really isn’t a place like home and you’ll get to know that when you’re traveling. The simple things you always took for granted don’t seem to be as simple as you thought. Traveling is also a way to connect with your friends and family if they are traveling with you. I have made some awesome memories with my family and friends, that none of us will ever forget. No matter how far apart we are.

A shared experience will bring you closer together. It doesn’t matter if you are travelling with your close family, your boyfriend or girlfriend, your best friend or your group of friends. Travel will deepen your relationship. Travelling is also a great way to build new relationships, doesn’t matter if they are fellow travellers or locals.

Why I love traveling – Escaping “reality”

I love the saying that you need to build a great life at home where you don’t need escaping from. But don’t we all need to escape sometimes? We sometimes seek things we don’t have in our own life. Simple things like the nicer weather, a nicer scenery or that gorgeous beach. Or more complicated things like freedom, experiences and happiness. I love planning trips ahead because it makes me excited. It does get my mind off things and in some way helps me to  “escape” from my life. That doesn’t mean I’m not happy with my life. I am very happy at home. However, I am very happy while traveling too. To have the best of both worlds is such a blessing.

Travel also has the power to not only give you the freedom, but it also gives you the time to heal. A new place full of new experiences, challenges and exciting things will give your head some time to process.

I feel most alive when I’m traveling. And that’s because of the exact reason I said before: I can either be really sucked up in life or be too busy with thinking back in time or thinking ahead of time. I’m almost forgetting to live. It’s the ultimate awful daily routine. I get up, go to school or work for the day, return home, do some stuff, go to sleep, and redo the entire process the next day. Traveling brings me so much excitement. It doesn’t have a routine. You can’t have a routine while traveling. Everyday is new and you just have to wait and see what the days brings. That’s what I love most. You can hardly plan it.

I agree with all of these so much. In fact I wish I could travel continuously but you’re right about it making me appreciate my life at home too. It’s such a balance

Jenny | Local Leo

It really is a balance! I wish to travel full-time as well, however it’s nice to have a place called home I guess. It has two sides :-).

I think that travel make person peaceful. If some are anger if that person travel in nature that may also relax with travel. With travel we also go near to the nature and it teach that how we have live in nature in bear way.

I agree! It makes us re-think our daily life and think about the things we stress about. I’m always so relaxed while travelling and full of energy when I get back!

I am so grateful for this article you’ve provided here. I have really been looking for a good traveler’s blog as good as yours. I must say, you’ve really made my day and I would definitely be revisiting your site for valuable information.

I’m so happy to read this, thank you so much! 🙂

i too love to travel, but need to balance job and family. Hope this virus soon be over and I am thr to fly again, thanks

I totally understand! I hope we can travel soon too. 🙂

The last time I traveled was in last weekend of February and after that I just check out my old pics and vlogs to make myself believe that everything will be over and we will be back someday, hitting the roads, climbing the mountains, embracing nature…

Haha that’s been me as well! My last time was during Christmas in Paris and I’ve been looking at old travel photos ever since. We will be back someday tho, it’s just going to take a while. 🙂

Hi Melissa, this is a great piece! Many people love traveling. It is a crucial part of life. Whether you are always idle or a busy bee, you need to consider traveling at least once a year.

Thanks for sharing this! I was really trying to put into words why it is that I like to travel, and you hit the nail on the head. It does make you’re humble, and gives you new empathy for others. Plus as you get older, it feels like time goes by faster. I think this is because we’re no longer constantly learning like when we’re kids, and travel reawaken that, and makes it easier and more enjoyable to remember and be in the moment!

Aw thank you so much! I completely agree with time going by faster when you’re older, travel is the perfect way to slow down time. 🙏🏼

Traveling is more than just an escape from routine; it’s an exploration of the self and the world. As a hobby, it offers a unique blend of adventure, learning, and personal growth that few other pastimes can match.

Adventure and Discovery

The core of traveling is the spirit of adventure. It’s about stepping out of your comfort zone, taking on new challenges, and discovering uncharted territories. Every journey is filled with unexpected encounters and experiences that are both thrilling and enriching.

Learning and Growth

Traveling is also a profound learning experience. It exposes you to different cultures, languages, and perspectives, broadening your worldview and enhancing your understanding of people and places. This newfound knowledge not only enriches your mind but also fosters empathy and tolerance.

500 Words Essay on My Hobby Travelling

Travelling is more than just a leisure activity; it’s a hobby that broadens our perspective, enriches our experiences, and shapes our understanding of the world. As a college student, I find travelling an essential part of my personal growth, facilitating a deeper understanding of cultures, histories, and the natural environment.

The Allure of Travelling

The allure of travelling begins with the inherent curiosity that humans possess. We are natural explorers, driven by an insatiable desire to discover the unknown. Travelling allows us to satiate this curiosity, presenting us with new landscapes, cultures, and experiences. For me, the fascination of delving into the unfamiliar is the core of my hobby.

Learning Through Travelling

Travelling is an immersive learning experience. It is through my travels that I have learned about the historical significance of places like Rome, the vibrant culture of India, the technological advancements of Japan, and the environmental conservation efforts in Costa Rica. These experiences have not only expanded my knowledge but also fostered a sense of global citizenship.

Building Relationships and Empathy

Travelling fosters relationships, both with fellow travellers and locals. These interactions, often brief yet profound, have taught me the value of empathy. They have enabled me to appreciate the diversity of human experiences and perspectives, thereby promoting a sense of unity and shared humanity.

Personal Growth and Self-Discovery

Travelling is a journey of self-discovery. It pushes us out of our comfort zones, challenging our adaptability and resilience. Through my travels, I’ve learned to navigate unfamiliar environments, communicate despite language barriers, and make decisions in unpredictable situations. These experiences have shaped my character, enhancing my confidence and self-reliance.

Preserving the Environment

As a traveller, I’ve become more conscious of my environmental footprint. I strive to travel sustainably, appreciating and respecting the natural beauty of the places I visit while minimizing my impact. This commitment to environmental stewardship is a crucial aspect of my hobby.

In conclusion, my hobby of travelling is a multifaceted experience that provides education, fosters relationships, encourages personal growth, and promotes environmental consciousness. It is more than just a pastime; it is a way of life that continually enriches my understanding of the world. As a college student, I believe that travelling provides invaluable lessons that extend far beyond the confines of a classroom, making it a hobby well worth pursuing.

A deep and careful reflection on why travel is important in this world. It’s a short essay on travel from someone who has lived on 4 continents and visited 80+ countries.

Before I started travelling, I was a different person – of that, there is no question.

My focus was narrower, and my worries and concerns were more confined to that which was in front of me. The minutiae of my life in Toronto seemed larger than life, and I think that’s largely because I couldn’t conceivably attain a macro perspective of the world without the realization that what I had been operating with was a micro perspective.

Sure, the most recent garbage strike is important, and the comments made from a councillor in Ward 34 do matter, but in the face of crises around the world –well, they don’t.

I firmly and unequivocally believe that perhaps the most important gift of all that we develop with travel is that of empathy. For that reason, I don’t think of travel as leisure, or something we do with the extra time we have, but rather travelling as part of education itself.

We can only learn to put local problems in perspective if we understand and empathize with international problems.

I’m not suggesting that it’s only through travel that you can develop empathy, I’m only suggesting that, at least for me, I feel different pangs in my heart when reading about the struggles of a nation that I have been fortunate enough to visit.

I stopped thinking of countries and cities around the world as “anonymous” places that didn’t effect me. The world just became smaller.

All of a sudden, I wondered how my friend in Sudan was dealing with the impending civil war, or that one restaurant owner would fare with the growing resentment towards immigrants in Oslo, or how that tour guide might be handling the steep decline in tourism in Turkey.

Travel forced me to care.

Today, I’m taking a moment to dissect what I feel is the value of travelling in today’s world, and I’m doing that through the medium of this short essay on travelling.

Before I Get Into the Importance of Travelling, I Want to Acknowledge A Few Things

It doesn’t seem right for me to break into the importance of travel without a few qualifiers.

Firstly, I want to recognize that I’m fortunate to have been born into a supportive, middle class family in Toronto, and one which valued education, and always had a full fridge. While not all travel is expensive by any means, I was able to travel a fair bit in my youth, and the fact that my family was financially able to prioritize travel is something I don’t take for granted.

This little essay on travel is not meant to suggest that somebody who currently is just trying to put food on the table needs to travel to find meaning in their life. That would be absurd.

All I’m suggesting is that I find some semblance of enlightenment and humility through my travels and feel that those who have the opportunity to travel should , with no judgment on those who currently aren’t in a position to travel.

Travel is a privilege, let us put that firmly on the table.

I also want to acknowledge the footprint that travel has on the environment. Especially with the recent climate strike , climate change and climate action is at the forefront of my mind.

If you follow @travelingmitch on Twitter , you’ll know that I’m something of a climate activist, and I try to use my medium to promote awareness about these aforementioned issues.

However, I’m writing this article on a plane right now, and planes are horrific for the environment. I now prioritize trains and environmentally friendly buses wherever I can, but sadly I cannot take a bus back from Prague, which is where I just was.

I’m looking for a solution to this, and I appreciate Rick Steves’ carbon neutral initiative , but at the very least I want to acknowledge that while travel is important, nothing is more important than the health of our planet. Travel is only great, my friends, if we still have places to travel to.

However, I believe that travel is important in establishing a deep love and reverence for the planet which can persuade people to take these issues more seriously.

Living in a place like Pearl Lagoon, Nicaragua, albeit briefly, showed me what can happen when an economy is based on fishing, but the government is on the hunt for oil and other resources, and has no regard for who lives and dies as long as the coffers of the bank are full, and pockets are padded.

Similarly, my time working in small villages in northern India, and in communities in Ecuador’s Amazon reminded me of much the same. It is indeed safe to say that I’ve learned lessons in all 80 countries that I’ve visited in terms of the environment.

In sum, travel with an understanding that it may not be your country, but this is our world.

Let’s Talk About Why Travel is Important and the Value of Travelling

Below, I’m going to talk about the importance of travelling by using some of my favourite travel quotes, and taking them apart.

I’ve always been a fan of quotes, and the written word in general which is illustrated by other content on my site such as “Ancient Travel Quotes Worth Remembering,” and “The 50 Most Inspiring Travel Quotes.”

I’ll be honest – I love writing itineraries about the places I’ve visited to enable you to see more, but sometimes I need to take a moment to reflect, and share on a deeper level what I feel I’ve learned throughout my travels.

I’m proud of the work that I do on a regular basis, but it’s a disservice to both you and myself for me not to take the necessary time to examine and think more deeply about why I continue to feel the need to explore – about why travel still matters to me, and should to you.

1. “A ship in harbor is safe – But that is not what ships are built for.” – John A. Shedd

Now, this isn’t a quote that I use to illustrate the importance of travel to make people who are anxious or worried about travel feel bad.

It’s actually quite the contrary.

Before I took my first trip on my own (to Ireland in 2006), I had all sorts of trepidation and hesitation. I sat in my room in Toronto and I imagined every single worst-case scenario that could happen and lived it out. I was worried that I’d be laughed at for ordering something wrong, or that I’d be “found out” as inexperienced traveller who knew nothing. I was worried I’d be permanently disoriented and I’d only find comfort in the confines of my bed.

Do you know how powerful it is when precisely none of your concerns come to fruition?

The people of Ireland welcomed 16 year old me with open arms (and cold beers, I might add), and that trip was when I solidified my love of Irish authors and recognized the value of storytelling in my life.

Yes, it would have been easier to stay home, and I would have saved myself some of the anxiety, but anxiety lingers if it isn’t satisfied or answered. If I had never gone to Ireland, I’d still have that worry and fear about travel in my heart.

The second trip gets easier, and the third and so on.

I’ve travelled to 80 countries now, and I still get that touch of anxiety, but I’ve come to realize that it’s almost impossible to separate the feelings of anticipation from anxiety, and there’s nothing wrong with feeling the butterflies of excitement and anticipation.

I’ve also come to realize over years that sometimes the best stories precisely from the situations that don’t go to plan. Everything doesn’t need to go perfectly for it to be perfect.

It would be easier to never leave the town or city you were born in, but life isn’t about finding the easiest path, it’s about finding the meaningful path.

2. “The journey not the arrival matters.” - T.S. Eliot

We’re taught from youth that it’s all about the payoff.

It’s not the writing of the report that matters, but the grade at the end. It’s not the playing of the sports that matters, but the medal around your neck. It’s not the quenching of knowledge that matters at college or university, but the lonely piece of paper you hang on your wall shortly thereafter.

In today’s age, it’s tempting to do this with travel as well. People plan trips that are 8 days long and go to 7 capitals around Europe. There is now a whole industry around finding Instagrammable places.

For some, it’s all about checking off boxes which indicate they’ve been somewhere, without thinking about whether they’ve actually seen anything.

Real travel in important because it reminds you of one thing – that’s all bullshit.

I still remember the conversation I had with Jozsef, a Hungarian man in his 80s that I met on a plane to Budapest in 2010. He told me about life behind the Iron Curtain, and his escape across the border in the late 60s, which eventually led him to resettle in Pittsburgh. We left the airport and he refused to let me take a cab. His son dropped me off right at the steps of my hostel.

I never saw him again, but I still think of him.

It’s easy to think of life in terms of segments. We think of our life after our next promotion, after we buy a house, or after we have our first child.

What about right now?

What travel taught me is that all we have is the present. All we have is this moment.

So, when I walk to a “must see sight” in a foreign city, I don’t think of the time that it takes me to get there as any less valuable as the time I’ll spend when I’m there. In the end, it’s all the same.

That side-street in Barcelona might not get the same amount of likes as La Sagrada Familia if you posted it, but some things are just for you.

Before and after every post on my Instagram feed , I’m in the present, and I firmly believe that’s why I’m able to dive deep into what makes a place tick.

If you only pay attention to the major sights and major cities, you’re reading the summary, but we’re all capable of reading the whole book.

3. “The more I see, the less I know” – John Lennon

Before I started travelling, I thought I knew a lot about the world, but, quite frankly, I didn’t.

How could I properly understand Canada without visiting the United Kingdom? How could I properly understand North America without visiting Mexico, and the United States? How could I possibly understand the world and my place in it without seeing it?

What I’ve always adored about travel is that when I get on a plane, I usually have a list of questions or queries that I’ll look to answer.

I might, for example, want to know more about French cuisine and how the baguette became so popular. Well, once I get there, and I start to investigate a question like that, I’m quickly going to be led to the sociological side of things when I notice how the French share baguettes, and how there’s a very communal and social approach to their cuisine in general.

I may also recognize the French insistence on eating locally and sourcing fresh ingredients, which would lead me to the environmental and the ecological side of things.

What I’m getting at is that is that my initial questions are predicated on a small base of knowledge on what I know prior to departure, and asking those questions leads to further questions while I’m in the destination, and all those answers position my better to understand the nation at large.

I tend to treat every single person I meet as a witness in my hunt to solve the case of , “what’s this country all about?”

Locals, I’ve found, appreciate this, as they understand that while many tourists are comfortable riding on the shallow waves, you’re keen to throw on your diving gear.

So why is that important?

Well, it’s taught me to be humble in accepting that I don’t know all the answers yet, but that I ought to try. And that’s where this whole notion of travelling as part of education comes into play.

Travel is constant reminder that I can always learn more, and that the process of learning is not something that ever ends. I arrive, see the ball of yarn, and begin to unravel it, and happily accept that the ball of yarn will only grow, and, like a curious kitten, I’ll never tire of playing with it.

4. “Collect Moments Not Things.” - Karen Salmansohn

In our daily lives, we often let the days roll past with alarming indifference.

The summer becomes autumn, and autumn becomes fall, and each season brings the same level of surprise. We say things out loud like, “I just can’t believe it’s fall already,” myself very much included.

However, when I hear myself say that out loud, I always take a moment to do what I call “a scan of the season.” I think back to all the special moments that I’ve had during those few months. Perhaps not surprisingly, very few of those moments occurred on an average day in my office.

When we’re travelling, Bri and I are a lot more inclined to go out for a special dinner, or to attend a show or concert. Travel, in a sense, gives you an excuse to be the person you might wish showed up a little more frequently in your daily life.

I’ve got nothing but respect for people who face the grind in their city and work day in and day out to do the best at their job. No matter what your job is, if you’re holding down steady work, there is honour in that, period.

But, if your goals with your job are to buy the newest TV when your old TV was just fine, or to buy a fancy sports car to prove to the world that your happy when you might not be, I’d encourage you to remember that you cannot be buried with any of these things.

I don’t want to get morbid, but the facts are the facts.

And I wonder, at the end of my days, will I be upset that I prioritized travel instead of the mansion? I don’t think so.

I may not have a bulging wallet, or the finest suede shoes, but my memories from travel make me feel like the richest person on the planet. Someone can steal my new bike, or try to repossess my home, but nobody – nobody – can take my memories.

5. “A Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with a Single Step” – Lao Tzu

What’s the old expression?

I think it’s something like, “the best time to start was ten years ago, the second best time is now”?

It’s easy to think that you could have had the perfect trip to Portugal in your 20s, but my parents just went in their 60s (apologies in advance for revealing your age, Mom and Dad), and I’m quite sure they didn’t arrive and say, “If only we were here 40 years ago!”

In fact, they rented a car and cruised around the countryside forming their own special journey, their way.

Some travel writers like to make you feel like you couldn’t learn what they “know” if you travelled every day for the rest of your life. Do yourself a favour, and unfollow them in every facet of your life.

My goal in life is to empower not to alienate, and that means letting you know that what I can do and have done, you can too.

There’s a deep satisfaction in throwing caution to the wind and taking the trip you’ve always dreamed of. When my best friend passed away nearly ten years ago now, I learned that we don’t know what time we have left, so sure as hell better live life on our own terms.

As with all these lessons, this quote is a metaphor for life and living as well. It’s never too late to start what you’ve always wanted to do, and it’s never too late to go to the places you’ve always dreamed of.

Even if you don’t have kids, go to Disney World and wear those damn ears in your 70s.

I’ll tell you a secret – nobody cares about your life as much as you.

In all likelihood, people will see you and smile, and then you’ll melt away from their memories. But you, you’ll have those memories forever, and you can even hang the ears up on your wall after.

Go ahead, take the first step in the direction you’ve always felt just a touch of wind at your back – wind that you’ve ignored, but won’t any longer.

My Final Thoughts on the Importance of Travel

If you’ve read this, you might deduce that to me travel is closely intertwined with not letting life pass you by. If you’re looking for a thesis or summation of this short essay on travelling, then that might be it.

But it’s more, too.

Travel isn’t important to me because I can say I’ve been to a certain amount of places. Travel is important to me because it provides a zest to my life that I can’t get elsewhere.

I learn new languages, and try new foods. I sleep in houses with ceilings I don’t recognize, and sometimes don’t sleep at all just to catch a glimpse of the sun right as it decides it’s high time for everyone to get up. I take leaps of faith without quite caring if I’ll fall, and I climb mountains and understand that the moment atop of the summit isn’t as important as the sum of the climb and descent.

Travel is important to me because it’s a constant reminder that in the grand scheme of things, I’m only here for what amounts to the blink of an eye. And I, for one, intend to spend this all to brief moment with my eyes wide open.

Travelling Is My Passion

“Travelling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta. My passion is learning about life through travelling and exploring new things. It excites me when I visit new places, learn about different cultures, and see other people live a life that is different from mine. I just love to travel because it makes me realize that the world is so beautiful and there is so much to admire and treasure. Furthermore, i love the feeling I get when I explore new ideas, histories, beliefs, and scenarios. It not only increases my knowledge, but also helps me overcome problems that I am dealing with. I get to experience life ’s problems, pleasures, and I come out of my personal bubble to become a better person by exploring new cultures. Travelling is my passion because it’s something that I am not afraid to chase after. I get to learn more and more about myself and I am able to expand my horizons every time I travel. Travelling helps us to know more about different lifestyles, cultures, cuisines and festivals. Visiting new sights and exploring new places increases our knowledge and widens our global perspective. We get to learn so many things about different cultures and customs. It makes us open minded and gives us a new viewpoint about life and it also changes some of our bad habits. Our vision enlarges as we travel and we start thinking out of the box. It gives us an opportunity to detach from our regular lives and helps us get away from our monotonous

On the other hand, in Derrick Fung’s “How Millennials Are Changing Travel”, article he asserts that millennials thrive for experiences and are influenced by social media to travel.

Thomas Jefferson's View Of Food In The Declaration Of Independence

It can have political and social implications and seen as a way to diffuse cultural identities. Like stated by Lynne Phillips, “...migrant laborers, refugees and resettled populations, immigrants, students, business consultants, nutritionists, agronomists, tourists, and other travelers all play a role in the reproduction and expansion of ideas about food and food systems…” (45). Food would not be the same without people who travel, because when people travel from place to place they influence and change the food around them. They can change the food around them

Traveling for me is a huge example of fulfilling my dreams. I would love to spend months in a different country and gain a different perspective on life.

However, I will wait to graduate first and get my certificate in dental hygiene to ensure that I don’t spend my education money. Another thing that falls hand-in-hand with traveling is that I would like to volunteer to help build schools for those who are less fortunate than others, to help victims who have just suffered from a natural disaster, or to just give back to my community.

Gilman Scholarship

There is an old Moorish proverb that reads, “He who does not travel, does not know the value of man.” That quote resonates deep within me because I have a yearning to use my education to empower those in need. In order to do so, I need to see and experience the world outside of the one I am accustomed to. Curiosity is one of the traits that define the person that I am; because of this trait I always ask questions about the world around me and the people I meet. This is one of the driving forces behind my desire to venture outside of the United States to learn a new language and culture.

Analysis Of What To Do With The Kids This Summer? Put Em To Work

For example, Sasse views travel as, “...an opportunity to help our kids to get out of their comfort zones, learn to see different social and economic arrangements.” (Sasse 18). Ben Sasse views travel simply as a way to get out of one’s own bubble to learn about the various living situations that people, even a neighborhood away, experience. Therefore, although traveling is not the only way for a kid to be made aware of the different circumstances that people around the world experience on a daily basis, it is one of the most effective ways as they will be able to experience them firsthand. This sentiment holds true in my own life as well as for many others.

Most people dream about sudden trips to exotic lands or planned voyages to previously familiar locations, but what is it that drives us to seek to leave our home? Why is it that we travel, even if we are completely comfortable in the country we live in?

As he expands on this idea, it is clear to the reader that Iyer believes one of the reasons we travel is to be able to be “free of caste and job and standing” in order to better comprehend ourselves.

10 reasons to love travel

What does travel mean to you here are just 10 of the many reasons i love to travel….

• Travel Specialist

In today’s tech-obsessed world, social media may well be the perfect platform to showcase the world’s beauty to armchair travellers across the globe, but travel is so much more than just getting that perfect Instagram shot. Travel should be meaningful. It should excite and inspire you, rejuvenate and ground you, educate and challenge you, and most of all, it should humble you.

Travel gives us our greatest stories, our most cherished memories and countless irreplaceable learnings that we can choose to pay forward to others. It teaches us about ourselves and each other, it broadens our horizons and, just like a reset button, it forces us to refocus on what really matters.

Here’s what travel means to me…

For me personally, travel is a way of life. I was born into a travel-obsessed family and had already lived on three different continents by the time I started school, so wanderlust (and an often ridiculed hybrid accent) was inevitable for me. My sister and I are incredibly fortunate to have parents that insisted that travel was the best classroom and, thankfully, our school holidays were spent exploring fascinating places, both near and far.

Upon graduating university (and turning 21), I was given the greatest gift: the gift of travel. Armed with a round-the-world plane ticket and a sense of adventure, I took off on a six-month solo backpacking trip through Europe, Southern Africa and Australia and, without a doubt, it changed the way I saw the world. So, as a self-confessed travel addict, here are the 10 reasons why I love to travel.

1. Travel to leave our world a better place

I have been fortunate to work and travel with &Beyond for more than 13 years now and what inspires me most is our company ethos and unwavering commitment to care for the land, wildlife and people. Travelling with &Beyond has given me the rare privilege to actively take part in so many unforgettable and truly meaningful experiences, such as: witnessing endangered rhino being safely translocated; observing an elephant cow being collared for research and monitoring purposes; helping to relocate a vulnerable nest laid by an enormous and highly endangered sea turtle; spending a night in a traditional Maasai manyatta (homestead); and so much more. &Beyond ’s authentic, experiential travel not only enables travellers to participate, engage and learn, but it also allows them to travel with purpose and to help leave our world a better place.

2. Travel to meet different cultures

Travel exposes us to different cultures and ancient traditions and through these authentic encounters, we learn to embrace and celebrate both our similarities and our differences. Travel teaches us about humanity and gives us an appreciation, understanding and respect for different points of view and ways of life.

3. Travel to learn

Not all classrooms have four walls and travel is the best way to immerse yourself in geography, history, culture, gastronomy, languages, biology … you name it. Travel enriches the mind and educates us far beyond any textbook or travel guide. Not only do curious travellers learn about different landscapes, languages and lifestyles; glean fascinating facts while observing wild animals in their natural habitat; delve into a region’s history and taste the local flavours; but they also learn about themselves (and each other) along the way.

4. Travel to escape reality

We all need to fall off the radar and escape reality every once in a while. Travel allows us to enjoy complete anonymity in new and unexplored territories. It gives us absolute freedom to live in the moment and it allows us to be anyone, to go anywhere and to do anything. The best part of my six-month trip around the world, way back when, was the freedom of being able to just wake up and pick a spot anywhere on the map and find a way to get there. Travel enables us to be spontaneous and seek new experiences.

5. Travel to relax

Our lives are time-starved and technology-driven and, let’s be honest, it’s not often that we actually take the necessary time to de-stress and truly switch off. Travel allows us to escape life’s daily demands, dramas and deadlines and enables us to clear our minds. It encourages us to recharge our batteries and to truly disconnect (from our phones, Wi-Fi, emails, laptops, social media, etc.) in order to reconnect (with ourselves, each other and the natural environment).

6. Travel to explore

Travel takes us out of our comfort zones and inspires us to see, taste and try new things. It constantly challenges us, not only to adapt to and explore new surroundings, but also to engage with different people, to embrace adventures as they come and to share new and meaningful experiences with friends and loved ones. Whether you seek adrenaline and non-stop activity, or unapologetic siestas and ultimate relaxation, travel gives us the opportunity to explore with an open heart and an open mind.

7. Travel for humility

Without a doubt, travel is a crash course in humility. As we cross borders, and oceans, we gain true perspective. We learn to recognise and be grateful for all of the things we take for granted in our own lives, and we also gain an appreciation and respect for how others live. Travel teaches us to be tolerant, flexible and open-minded, and most of all it makes us humble.

8. Travel to eat

One thing you’ll never find on a suggested packing list is a diet. Leave it at home! Just make sure you bring a healthy appetite and a willingness to taste new flavours and sample all of the local delicacies. Remember, mimosas are totally acceptable at breakfast and dessert is always a good idea. Indulge, go back for seconds and exercise when you get home.

9. Travel to be transformed

Don’t just travel for travel’s sake. Travel to seek adventure and feel alive. Take part in authentic experiences that will not only change the way you see the world, but that will also encourage self-reflection, environmental awareness and global action to help protect and conserve our planet.

10. Travel to live out your bucket list dreams

Every traveller’s bucket list is different. Whether you long to watch the sun set over the Taj Majal, snowshoe on the side of an active volcano, witness Africa’s Big Five and the Great Migration, or find your Zen on a yoga retreat in the Himalayas, if you can dream it, you can do it. Travel is the best medicine and long may it continue to take our breath away and turn us all into storytellers (and committed custodians of our precious planet).

My Passion For Travelling

I always dreamed of travelling to Europe. Watching Shahrukh Khan and Kajol romancing in the midst of beautiful landscapes of Switzerland, I fell in love with the idea of being there one day. I still do. Being an Army kid, I’ve grown up in ten different cities. I have met different kinds of people, cultures, and traditions. That is how my passion for travelling grew. We all love feeling enchanted but when the ecosystem one resides in reaches a point of insignificance, a blur, a monotonous hum, travel beckons. So why should you travel? • To discover yourself Travelling teaches you so many things - not only in a cultural way but also at a personal level that will eventually have an effect in your life.

You realize you can do things you never thought possible. Undertaking a challenge like sky diving or swimming in the ocean for the first time or whatever makes your heart race and make your brain go ‘argghh!’- becomes something that alters you. • To gain important perspective I read about a man who gave up all his possessions (house, car, computer, books, etc.) to charity after he backpacked for a year to some country in Africa. He now runs an NGO in Mumbai. During a lecture he said, “My experience in Africa altered my life. The materialistic things you own do not make you who you are. They end up owning you instead.” A cultural getaway can only positively affect you. It helps you to give back, to help out and to appreciate in innumerable ways your life upon return. You lose the callousness and egotistic attitude that can sometimes develop when you can’t relate to that region of the world. And, it compels you to help others and give back. • It changes you How? More social- You learn to make friends out of strangers and get comfortable talking to new people. You get better at conversations and asking interesting questions- the ones that matter and tell you more about the

Summary Of Seeing By Annie Dillard

In her essay, “Seeing”, Annie Dillard describes that someone’s perception of the world are based on preconceived judgements and ideas. Traveling is an example that illustrates that there are many different perceptions of the world, depending on the person. When one travels, their impression will be affected by expectations of the trip. Often, if someone has an image in their head of how traveling will be, they aren’t open-minded to diversity. An individual’s perception of traveling can be affected by what people find enjoyable, their tolerance of creating intercultural relationships, and their appreciation for their own life.

Prejudice In Mark Twain 'The Innocents Abroad'

Travelling is important as it can remove the unintended prejudice that individuals carry out rashly. Sometimes, people unconsciously treat others differently solely based on their own beliefs. Since their judgement is based only on opinion, therefore it may be inaccurate to use when addressing the persons around them. However, exploring the world may lessen your tendency to be prejudice as you will gain detailed insights to the way others think, the way others see, and the way others live. Thus, this will allow you to not make foolhardy assumptions when being in contact with a society or community as you will be more knowledgeable to understand why they are the way they are. Removing prejudice from our lifestyle is very important to us as open-thinkers as we often make many mistakes in the treatment of other human beings. Prejudice is an undesirable trait to possess because

Traveling, in general, makes people healthier. Occasional travelers report lower stress levels and lower risks of heart attacks. These benefits even stay awhile after the trip has ended. According to Larry Alton, “traveling has been scientifically proven to lower stress levels.” (NBC News) This is because traveling is like taking a break from one’s hectic life. One gets to think about themselves and relax. People feel less anxious and tend to forget about problems that usually bother them. In a way, they disconnect from their busy lives.

Persuasive Essay On Why Everyone Should Travel

Traveling can broaden ones mind and make them more creative. When traveling, the different culture can give a person new ideas and allow them think in a different way. One study by Galinksy, an American Social Physiologist, proved that traveling makes people more creative. Throughout the study, they examined directors in two hundred and seventy high-end fashion houses, and“ researchers found a clear correlation between time spent abroad and creative output: The brands who creative directors had lived and worked in other countries produced more consistently creative fashion lines than those whose directors had not (Galinksey).” Having a new insight to the world, and immersing yourself into a new culture and language can help open one’s eyes. I experienced this first hand when I had traveled to foreign countries. Traveling has

Why Do People Travel Essay

First, I just want you to ask yourself a little and simple question. Why do you travel? Have you answered it? I sincerely want you to answer it before I do so, that will help you understand with more ease. The first one I thought of was to learn. Many people, in fact, love to travel to get to know a country’s culture, food, language and landmarks. This will help people be more culturally diverse, open-minded and usually more balanced people. The second reason I thought of was to have an adventure. Naturally, some people are more adventurous than others so they prefer doing something they have never done before. For instance, people who live near the ocean have the tendency to visit more mountainous places so they can have new experiences and do more radical activities. Another obvious reason is to spend some quality time with your family. Nowadays people work during most of their days and go back home already tired, meaning they have less time for their families and people they love than before. Thus, they often go for a journey together during holidays and sometimes even weekends. The final reason I have got is quite different

I Want To Be Free Essay

After working for 3 years, I was burnt out at work and wanted to rediscover myself and I could only think of travelling. But I always had this feeling that something is wrong. Neither I’d the money nor intention of wanderlust. I was just lost or maybe I want freedom of expression without being ending up in jail. I don’t know it yet. But one thing was sure and that was: I want to experience the world through the eyes of others. Living the lives of others or living with them provides you a window to enter their lives. I have always believed that travel breaks you free. My mind was conditioned to travel. I had changed almost a dozen schools by the time I completed my graduation. Oh boy!

The Train Speeding Along The Tracks Beneath Me

For the remaining hour of the trip, I reflected on my opinion of travelling. All my life, I lived in the city and due to my routined lifestyle, I was rarely anywhere unfamiliar. I disliked travelling as I feared being alone, facing something new. Yet after talking to Chris, I began to realise the golden opportunity I had to experience all the world had to offer to me.

Personal Narrative : Why I Travel

I believe that travel is something that everyone, no matter what, should do at least once in their lifetime. This is because once people leave their comfort zone and present situation, they begin to truly learn about themselves and the world. Once they finish travelling, that same person may find themselves to be totally different than the one who left. In my short 14 day trip to Senegal, I feel as if I learned a lifetime’s worth of knowledge about not only Senegalese culture but also about myself. The trip as a whole was fun and interesting but this also means that there is a danger the true meaning could be lost in the smiles and happy memories. I feel travel is so much more than just having a good time and making happy
