Traveling is important for humans. We are communal creatures that are all of the same species, yet our location determines societal actions based off cultured and governmental laws. We are so similar, yet our little worlds are so entirely different. Traveling to see places beyond our hometown is crucial to gain exposure to the world. Whether someone travels domestically or to a foreign country, it can be an experience that is reminisced for a lifetime. Foreign travels may require extra planning such as obtaining a visa.
Traveling should be a happy thing, even if it is just a business trip to another state. Traveling gives us exposure to other cultures. If an individual has remained in their home time for their entire life, it would make it hard to completely understand the struggles and celebrations of other regions and countries.
How can you know? You visit the country, stay in a homestay , eat homemade food made by a local housewife, attend some local cooking classes to learn recipes that have been in a family for generations. You try new food , a ton of new food for the first time. Staying in your familiar bed at home is comfortable. Standing in a huge airport surrounded by tons of strangers and signs in a foreign language is anything but comfortable.
The more you travel, the fewer things you stress about. You feel more confident to ask the directions from random foreigners. The opportunities await, and you see them clearly now. As your horizons get wider and you stress less, your life eventually gets better on all levels and you are ready for the best travel experiences ever!
Every adventure is something you are not used to in your daily life. You need to get uncomfortable before you get comfortable! And how miserable is that? For me, being an introvert, meeting new people on the road is actually easier than in my own neighborhood. First, travellers are typically a more open kind of people. They look for new experiences and that includes other people by default. And those will not just be some strangers, but most likely people with similar interests to yours.
Second, there are often local events that you can attend in order to meet new interesting people. The coolest thing about those events was that everyone there is happy to meet you as this is what they come for! Even in the process of preparing for the next trip , you get your head filled with new ideas and expectations that make you forget all the current trouble.
The travelling itself is even more powerful! Everything you experience is new and impressive, you decide what you want to do next, and there is no boss to spoil your day.
Leave all that stuff at home. When you travel abroad, you can be whoever you want to be, so enjoy everything as much as you can! Make sure to accumulate enough great memories to escape to when you get caught up in your routine back home. This is not the case when you are alone or in charge, your awareness mode is on at all times. Even if the trip is organized for you by an agent, you still have to be in control of all aspects of it.
Keep an eye on your belongings, check flight details one more time, ask directions if necessary, and be aware of your battery level. You need to make sure you get the right amount of change in foreign currency and that your bus or train goes in the right direction.
