What travel means to me…

“Traveling is a voyage inside of oneself.”

Traveling is a way of life for me. I was born to travel and see the world. I have been incredibly fortunate to have seen some amazing places already but my bucket list is full of many more to see.

Travelling boosts my happiness and satisfaction. Apart from the obvious fact that I don’t have to go to work, travelling gives me the opportunity to step away from the daily grind. The new events and experiences help rewire my brain, hence boosting my mood and SELF….CONFIDENCE. I think people, in general, are not meant to be tied down to just one place their entire lives. I especially feel trapped when I have to stay in the same place for too long, without being able to really move about and explore. My life feels most fulfilling when I’m outside, living through new experiences and learning.

Travel definitely makes me happy. Even the act of planning a trip gives me something to look forward to and brings me happiness. I am sure I am not the only one who feels that way.

It’s a great stress buster. The stress of work and daily demands can distract us from what we find to be actually meaningful and interesting. Thus, taking a break from the daily hustle and bustle is essential for your mind to relax, recharge and rejuvenate. And what better way to do so than to pack your bags and cross wanderlust-worthy destinations off your bucket list? Traveling promotes happiness and helps you take your mind off stressful situations. This leads to lower cortisol levels, making you feel more calm and content. It also helps us reflect on our personal goals and interests. Even though I’m always busy when I travel, whether it’s sightseeing, taking photos or just exploring a destination on foot, I know I’m the calmest and most relaxed when I travel.

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.

Traveling to different nations might inspire you with a variety of business ideas if you want to start your own business and want to do something unusual and different. The most obvious business opportunities that you can spot are a possibility of trade. If you have a strong observation and a deep understanding about people’s liking, you may be able to analyze if there is some product in your homeland that you can probably introduce to people in that country.

You may as well take business ideas from your travel destination country and try and implement them in your country. Over centuries, we have been seeing this happening. People who travel and have seen the other part of the world, are smarter entrepreneurs.

Now you know how much travel can benefit you, I am sure you would be excited to go and experience it yourself. While travel rejuvenates, invigorates, give you wisdom, learning, knowledge etc, planning a trip is also an exciting activity. So go ahead and meticulously work on a travel plan. Don’t think to much, just get going because travel is good for your well being.
