WHY DO WE HAVE TO TRAVEL? INTRODUCTION TRAVEL IS HOW TO LOVE IT IS AN ATTEMPT TO TRANSFORM A DREAM IN REALITY.
There are those who consider traveling a waste of time and money. I do not.
On the contrary, I think it is one of the best investments we can make. Traveling has never been so easy and economical as now, and however busy we are there is always a gap that we can use for a trip. And if you do not find that gap, then you have a problem, because not being more busy is more productive, rather the opposite, who is very busy is almost always not very productive. As Socrates said: "Beware of the unproductiveness of a busy life." These are my reasons to travel more often.
ENJOY LIFE,
IT´S JUST ONE
As we travel, we discover and experience new things, many of which make us enjoy life differently than we were accustomed to.
I do not want to say that one does not enjoy life when he is not traveling, or that he has to travel to enjoy life, but it is true that when one travels he does things that he does not usually do. Discover and taste new flavors and smells, especially with food. Enjoy different landscapes to the known and the architecture and monuments of the place. Outdoor activities you have not done before, and you like. When we travel, as we are in a new place, which we may not visit again in a long time, and may even never, we "forced" to do many things, that to live in that place surely would not. In addition, when we travel we spend more time in "contemplative mode", that is, we relax and experience the moment through our senses, which makes us enjoy more of the experience.
YOU KNOW BETTER Knowing yourself is key to being able to lead a happy life.
To do this, we need to do two things: (1) expose ourselves to new things; And (2) do an introspective work, in the sense of reflecting and thinking about ourselves, our life and what we want from it.
YOU VALUE MORE WHAT YOU HAVE. Until you stop having something you do not value it in its right measure.
However, due to the daily hustle, the occupations and the routine that drags us, few are spending the time necessary to these two tasks. Traveling is the excuse and the perfect opportunity to do so. Not only because when we travel we will be exposed to new things that we did not know before, but also because we have disconnected from the life we ​leave behind (problems, occupations, routine, etc.), which allows us to take time to think about us and our lives.
Being outside what we would call home, away from certain comforts and people we want, makes us appreciate them more when we return. Appreciating what you have is important to being happier. People tend to focus and focus our attention on the negative things that happen to us, but what about good things? They are there, you only need to appreciate them.
LEARN LANGUAGES Today dominating other languages ​apart from the mother is almost obligatory, especially if it is important for your professional progress or business, and I do not see how it can not be. Especially I am referring to English, because the language, nowadays, is more used to conduct business and transmit specialized knowledge, and for communications between people of different nationalities and languages. When you travel abroad, unless you speak the same language as you or you speak yours, you will not have other than express yourself in English. Regardless of whether your level is good or bad will be your only way to communicate. Travel in an opportunity to grow, learn and improve. Do not miss it.
MAKES YOU MORE INTERESTING
Travel is an inexhaustible source of anecdotes and stories, that without you to propose you will emerge in your conversations with other people. In addition, due to the natural curiosity of the human being, everything you do or say related to something that others do not know and learned or experienced abroad, will be heard or seen with great interest by the other person. Traveling helps to be tolerant and respectful of others, values ​that we will then pass on to others, especially children.
STIMULATE AND DEVELOP YOUR BRAIN When you travel to another place, ideally
Contrary to what was believed for a long
another country, different from yours in which you live better, you find yourself immersed in a new environment, different and unknown to you, which forces you to be in a continuous process of problem solving and of overcoming challenges.
time, the brain is not a static and immutable organ. It is changing throughout our lives. This process of change has been called neuroplasticity or neuronal plasticity. In short, our neurons can increase or decrease connections with other neurons, and can connect with new neurons with those that did not connect before, and stop being connected with other neurons that were. And even new neurons can form, which is known as neurogenesis. Neuroplasticity in our brain occurs basically in three moments: (1) when the brain is developing in the prenatal stage and in childhood; (2) in case of brain damage, as an adaptation mechanism to compensate for functions that have been lost and / or to maximize functions that have; And (3) the one that interests us most here, the environment in which we live, our actions and behavior changes, learning new things and the experiences we have.
YOU GROW AS A PERSON Traveling is a constant challenge. Especially if you travel alone. I also like to travel with friends, but nothing better than traveling alone to expand your comfort zone. Why? Simply because you are the one who makes the decisions and the only one responsible for its consequences. You are alone and no one will come to your rescue or support you to overcome all the challenges (and there will be many) that you will find: Familiarize yourself with the currency, a new language, find accommodation, clarify in the metro (if there is) or bus, find good food, meet new people, and a long etc.
Traveling to new places and facing these challenges puts you in the zone of courage, expanding your comfort zone, and, as a result, you grow as a person.
EXPAND YOUR PERSPECTIVE Getting in touch with other cultures and other people lets you know how others live, think and, in general, their view of things. It expands your perspective, because you realize that there is not a single way of seeing and doing things, and that in other places they live differently than you are accustomed to. You now have a broader view of the world and the things that make life, and so you can distance yourself more from your reality and the events that occur in this to assess them more objectively.
THE FUTURE OF CHILDREN IS US... Did you know that children are not born with prejudices? Respecting differences, whether of race, culture, religion or even disability, is not only important in an increasingly globalized world, but also prepares children to be supportive, to value and learn from others, to be tolerant and respectful , And to prevent them from making decisions based on prejudices and stereotypes. Here are some clues about how to teach children to be tolerant and to accept others through respect and knowledge. As a family, you should develop attitudes that do not discriminate. Children, for better or for worse, are much more aware of what is happening around them than adults think.
They do not discriminate or give importance to nationalities, skin color or language. A child does not care where another child is, as he speaks the universal language of games. Unfortunately, over time, they acquire prejudices based on what they observe in their environment and just like values, these are transmitted from parents to children. That is why it is so important to help them to have an open mind by teaching them by example. They listen to us, they see us and they can distinguish when we lie, we feel uncomfortable and when what we say and do contradicts ourselves. Pay attention to your own attitude towards others.
CONCLUSION
IT IS EXPERIENCES THAT ENRICH LIFE, NOT GOODS.
Sometimes we will need to find a partner on the road. Other times with our only company will suffice. It does not matter what the fate or motivation is. Let's travel. Let's travel as long as we can while we can. Let us exploit this possibility of enriching ourselves, always bearing in mind that the immaterial, that the experiences, the moments and the memories that we get traveling, is the most valuable that the human being can have. The good traveler, who travels to know and learn, to enjoy everything he visits does not care if he is nice or ugly, poor or rich, because what counts is knowing how it is. Each journey allows us to expand our personal consciousness, our own world becomes bigger, experiences transform you and accompany you forever and all that helps you to be happier, to accept, to release...
