In this day and age, with technology being so easy to access for most, you can watch or read about any country you’d like to travel to, and it’s almost as though you’ve been there! But isn’t there just something about actually travelling, that makes you want to travel more? I’m going to give you my 5 reasons why you should travel.
1. New Experiences
Sometimes you just have to escape the 9-5 monotony that can be life. By travelling, you open your mind to new experiences and cultures and you really feel alive! It makes you realise just how small you are in this big wide world! We love to teach Ethan about different cultures through lots of travel.
2. Food
I have to say, I do love to cook when I’m at home, but if there’s one thing I really love, it’s to experience new food in different countries. It really gives you a good feel of different cultures and you can also connect with new people through food. If you have the opportunity to try something different, don’t be afraid…you may just regret it once you head home!
3. Friendships
We’ve made many friends through travelling, connecting with people through staying in Airbnbs, tours or simply walking around a certain city. We’ve made some lasting friendships which we wouldn’t have if we were sitting in our loungeroom!
4. Combat Stress
Booking a holiday at a relaxing resort will definately combat life’s stresses! A little rest and relaxation even for a week, will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to get back into it!
5. Appreciation
We have been to many countries where people are less fortunate than us. It’s always a good opportunity to appreciate what we have and even donate to those in need if you can. It’s amazing to see how happy these people are, even with next to nothing. Family and friends are everything to them and it really makes us realise what’s important in life.
So there’s my top 5 reasons why you should book that flight and travel. Lastly, how do you solve those back to work post-holiday blues? Be sure to book another holiday!
