We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us - Anonymous
Travel to the ends of the earth and beyond if you can. Travel to different countries and experience different cultures if you dare.
Travel to different cities and towns in your own country. Travel to a different neighborhood in your hometown.
Travel with family and travel with friends. Travel alone. Just travel.
Travel changes us. Something in the mind is different after a trip and that changes everything. Travel is good for the soul and broadens our typically narrow horizons.
Travel disrupts our routine. And the disruption is good for the brain. Along with the new experiences and the sense of accomplishment come new thoughts and insights.
Travel takes us out of our comfort zone. In order to admire the view, you have to get to the top of the mountain. And sometimes that requires traveling along difficult roads.
Travel teaches tolerance. Busy airports, long queues and unfriendly immigration officials don't qualify as fun. Different cultures and traditions viewed up close brings tolerance and understanding.
Travel educates us and travel teaches us about ourselves. Take the tour of the local village and experience how others live their daily lives. Our way is not the only way. Our way may not be the best way.
For your own sake, travel often. Just travel.
