One should realize why we need to travel...
Before, I see travel as a time for
relaxation, paying yourself forward and a time to take gazillions pictures to
be posted in social medias (e.g Facebook or Instagram). But I recently realize
that what I believe before was just a by product of traveling.
I'm not a travel expert or anyone who
travels a lot but I cannot contain my enamoured experience while travelling.
The world is so big and wonderful and there is so much to explore. We human
beings were designed to be social, as they say "no man is an island".
As how I interpret it was quite different, for me being social is not only
jumping outside from our comfort zones and meet new friends but being social is
physically going outside the place where you usually live (your own little
world).
That's maybe the reason why ancient people
like the nomads go from one place to another, not because of the food but
because of the hunger to discover new lands. Why?, because people want to grow.
As a person, we are designed to grow but
not only physically or emotionally (self age) but in all aspects of our being -
the mind, body and soul. Physically we travel because we are a being of motion,
we were made to move. But aside from that fact, we would love to travel because
we want to taste new food. That's why, every time we travel we lose track of
our diet plans.
Mentally we want to travel because we want
to see and feel new things. The world is fill with lots of cultures and the
experience to try something not familiar is priceless. Socially we want to
travel because we love to meet new and old friends. Building relationship to
these people is something vital in travelling.
Me myself as an article writer, registered
nurse, and a travel enthusiast, realized that travelling is a way to create new
or enhance yourself. The mere fact that you go outside your usual place and
seeing new things create ideas. Ideas that will eventually be translated to
understanding other people that will eventually be translated to
self-actualization and will be eventually translated as self value.
Well maybe we have different reasons why we
travel but definitely we all agree that traveling is such a wonderful activity
to do. It might be for business or leisure but I'm sure you'll definitely want
to do it again and again.

More than just giving us a different kind of 'high', traveling is a great teacher - it teaches us to trust strangers, let go of our comfort zones, and challenges our decision-making skill :)
