The ongoing pandemic and the worldwide lockdown have forced us to stay inside our houses, not allowing us to travel anywhere, even in our cities. But travelling is one of the most thrilling adventures one can undertake. Here are some reasons why you should start travelling as soon as the pandemic ends:
New Experiences:
One of the main reasons people love to travel, and so should you, is that you learn new things and gain new experiences. In our day-to-day lives, it is not easy to learn something new every day. Travelling to a new place, you discover new things and understand different cultures. You can explore the world outside of your own and enter into someone else’s world and see them go through various challenges that they have to face every day. Money should not be a concern as you can get cheap flights and hotels.
Expanding your perspective:
It is difficult to imagine what it is like for others unless you see it yourself and put yourself in their shoes. Everything from work, family, beliefs and interests is different and something you may never even have heard before. By exposing yourself to new places, people, and cultures, you will develop a better view of the world.
Gaining appreciation:
A monotonous and boring life makes you lose your appreciation and gratitude towards the important things. You fail to notice and appreciate things around you, and exploring new places makes you realize that you would not want to trade what you have for anything else. Once you are back, you will feel lucky to live the life that you do. You will see that there is no place like home. Living in a hotel will make you miss home more than anything.
Make new memories:
Memories are dearer than materialistic things that hold little value. We think of all the happy, sad, funny, and stupid memories we made with people around us. We remember the strangers we met that eventually became friends. Your travel experiences will always be with you, and when you need something to cheer you up.
Making friends around the world:
Making new friends is so important when you travel around the world. You will get to see things from different perspectives and understand how they live their lives. You will have the opportunity to visit their home, to see their way of life as no other tourist would. They will want to show you their world, and they can take you to places that are not popular tourist spots but are equally mesmerizing, if not more so.
Try new food:
Travelling is pretty exhausting. It will be your favourite pastime to find great restaurants and try new dishes. Since you will be on the move a lot, it will become quite the adventure. You just cannot beat the feeling of finally sinking into a chair after a busy day of exploring and being served a big plate of something delicious that is a speciality of that place. You get to discover foods that you don’t even know existed in the first place. You can learn from locals and find out how they cook certain dishes and what ingredients they use. You can use the tastes and smells to remind you of your travel experiences and take them everywhere with you.
