Do you really think that you know who you really are? Have you ever thought of the other different interesting personalities you can be? Have you ever imagined the places you haven't visited? If these questions seem familiar and tend to bother you, then your soul is longing travels and vacations. Sitting in a city for the rest of your life and living on the same monotonous pattern will never let you know the different sides that you have.

It is a therapy that helps you live a more open and mindful life and lets you on a journey of getting to know your true self and inclinations.

Discover new passions/interests

When you visit a new place, a completely unknown territory, you get to see and know a lot of different things happening around you. Some of them might interest you and you may develop a sense of liking once you try that activity, be it swimming, cooking, running or just getting to know people. The world is full of opportunities and you will stumble upon various interesting thongs if you decide to move out of your doorsteps.

Every day is a chance to learn

It is said, travel is the best teacher. It teaches you things about the world and also about your inner self. On a foreign land, every moment is an opportunity. Be it, learning new words of different languages, trying out new cuisines, observing a new tradition, learning a new dance form or a new fashion sense. These learnings will add a new dimension to your personality and will benefit your growth once you return from the trip to your normal life.

Disconnection from cultural upbringings

The society and culture that we grow in shapes our thinking and belief system majorly. We become a product of the same thinking patterns, unaware of who we really are at heart. Travelling alone to a new land lets you see and absorb different culture and mindsets. When you visit numerous places, all varying from one another in all aspects, you get to realize where your interests lie, what do you actually believe in and what your soul stands and desires for.

Understand your strengths and weaknesses

While travelling, you end up in situations which are difficult to handle and you are not used to. This helps in adapting to changes and unfavourable condition. Life is not a cakewalk, so you should know how to deal with the downfalls. These beautiful yet critical situations push your boundaries and you are forced to take out your best to overcome those situations. 

Be selfish and free from judgement

Being selfish at times is not wrong, focusing on what your mind, body and soul crave for is important every once in a while. Travel helps you by giving you that space for your own self, with you and your thoughts, free from the judgements of other people. The more time you have with yourself, the more you will be clear of your needs and wants and will feel at peace.

Seek out for new journeys and thrilling life experiences while you are fit and your body permits you to do so. You will definitely have plenty of stories from your travel book for your coming generations. Travel more! Live More! Travel is liberating!
