Somebody once told somebody else that they were so wise yet they couldn’t find themselves. The person replied to the first person saying” one should travel so much that they find themselves”.
This phrase can be used by the best of us when we seem a bit lost in life.
Travel!
I know its all easier said than done and quite frankly it is pretty expensive for the average Joe. But you have one life that you know of, if you save all the money you earn when will you live!?
Travel whenever you can for as long you can! Make the daily wage and save it in the bank for a good interest rate and then travel. You can have breakfast in Peru and eat your dinner in London. You can buy chunky silver jewelry from Stockholm, Sweden (free tour Stockholm) and then find the matching dress from India. You can travel in groups or travel absolutely solo.
But Travel!
It is the most adventurous thing you can be while being the most soulful experience as well. This means once you are comfortable with finding yourself in different parts of the world you will never feel lost. The thrill and adrenaline rush comes when you visit a country for the first time as a tourist. You see new places and meet new people. The soulful experience often happens once you have spent a few days or weeks in the country. At this time, you are all set to rejuvenate and discover the hidden parts of your soul.
The rush of the airport during peek season or the hush of the train station during the midnight will all slowly sink in and become one with your blood. You will crave for a boarding pass once you have experienced the High of Travelling. It will leave you in tears and will force you to find homes in strange lands so that you can have an excuse to go back.
The experience may not be monetarily beneficial but will surely make you rich in wisdom and stories. Travelling ensures that you have some of the best-handpicked stories to tell your children and grandchildren as bedtime stories. Travelling makes you push yourself at your job so that you earn better and travel more. Traveling even makes you stay fit so that you are medically sound to travel.
You have one lifetime my friend, imagine wasting it staying put on the continent you were born on!
