Power of Travel
Travel is a excitement that begins even before we step out of our home. It is a adrenaline rush that starts at planning for vacation and ends when we drop back at our homes. Travel brings out the best in us , it brings out the part that wants to survive inspite of being challenged. It adopts to situations and laughs at silly things in the outdoors.
Power of Travel |
Discovering amazing culture
As we set out to travel we shed our limitations to venture into a world filled with possibilities . We feel amazed as we look into things from different perspective and wonder that this can also happen. I was amazed to see disciplined auto-rickshaw Wala in Mumbai that stood in line to take customers. I was amazed at how everything tasted sweet at Mumbai restaurants. We feel amazed at how things can be different and we had a iron box idea of how things should be and travelling just shifts it. it makes us realize that world is beautiful tapestry of traditions.
Make new friends
When you travel to different parts of the world , you can make new friends . You get to meet people with different culture and traditions. You talk to them and share your stories and soon they will share theirs too. We get to learn different things from them. We can laugh together and understand each other even without talking. It is like a big adventure where you can make friends and have fun together.
Personal Growth
Whenever you face situation where you are uncomfortable , you are forced to take decisions that are not normal for you. You may have to try local food which may be the tastiest food that you have eaten in your life. You may be forced to take a route less taken which may have breathtaking views. You face your fears and you build confidence in life.
When you encounter unexpected situations you find creative solutions. Once I was stranded on my way to Yamunotri. No vehicle will stop for me. Every bus and taxi refused to take me ahead. At that time I asked for a lift from a truck driver which I have never done in my life. It turned out to be a good experience.
Rediscover yourself
Travel is like meditation when you leave the mundane routine of life to connect with yourself again. You see a magnificent mountain or a enormous ocean , it is way bigger than our existence. Experiencing those you just shup up and dive deeper. You gain clarity in your thoughts and you see new dreams in your eyes. You rediscover yourself and come home with a new energy.
