We’ve compiled a few reasons that might ignite the wanderlust in you and inspire you to travel:

1. Traveling recharges you emotionally: Nature is often associated with the feelings of awe and wonder. There are a lot of places in our mysterious world that secretly heal. I’m sure your backyard isn’t one of them. These sacred places heal, rejuvenate and uplift, nourish you emotionally and boost compassion.

2. Lowers the stress level: Just about a day or two into your trip and you’d begin to feel well-rested, less anxious, and a lot more satisfied. For all you that you witness around are happy, smiling faces and we all know how infectious happiness is.

3. It keeps you fit: Traveling is an abundant source of opportunities that would force you to challenge your limits. For there’s so much to experience, you’d be on a constant run around the places. Whether it’s local sightseeing or an adventure sport, you’d get ample opportunities to physically exert yourself.

4. You get to learn new languages: There’s something immensely satisfying about being able to throw around a couple of local lingos. Whether it’s just a simple thank you, or a complex yet gracious compliment in a different dialect, the basics would get you farther than English ever could. It’s also a great way to master a language; you get to stretch your skills with the native speakers.

5. You learn about cultures: Whether you travel to a foreign country or a native destination previously unexplored, you get a comprehensive understanding of how cultures work. Differences aside, you get to see where the common ground lies and what binds all of the humanity together.

It’s not just a sense of accomplishment; travel challenges you and shakes things up. To travel is to learn. It helps you move forward and most importantly, gives you a brand new perspective and improves your grip on the reality.
