My Creativity Blog

A few days ago a friend of mine asked me is she should take up her masters degree or fulfill her life long dream of seeing the world. Without hesitation I answered, “Travel!” I believe in the importance of travelling. Being a nomad at heart, I would jump at any chance to travel to a new place.

I don’t just travel for fun or to, as some people say, “burn money.” There are many reasons why I do so. Let me give you five reasons why you should travel.

First, you get to see the world. This is my most basic reason why I travel…So I can see the world! I want to explore countryside other than my own and experience different cultures. I want to see London, China, Egypt and Bali. You can always log on to the internet to see pictures of these places. But wouldn’t it be better to see for yourself?

Second, meet new friends. There is a saying that goes, “Strangers are friends you haven’t met yet.” When you travel, you get to meet all sorts of people from all walks of life. Just by conversing with these people you can already learn so much. Plus, it’s great to meet new friends. You can expand your network and widen your inner circle. Don’t limit yourself with the friends you have at home. Go out there and make new friends.

Third, expand your mind. Travelling can really change your way of thinking. It can transform your very perception of life. Once you have gone to different countries you’ll see that the world isn’t so big after all and that we are all connected in some way. This way of thinking can teach you to value life and the people that you meet.

Fourth, learn new things. Travelling allows you to experience things that you wouldn’t have been able to experience in your own country. Since each country has their own culture and norms, you will be able to learn many new things.

Fifth, have fun! Travelling allows you to have fun! Imagine being in an exotic city filled with interesting people and delicious food. The possibilities for having fun are endless. You can relax and unwind and experience the joy that life is.

Life is good when you are having fun. Time is fleeting. Spend it wisely by making good memories.
