Travelling is not only your escape from your busy life or hectic routine; it teaches you a lot of things. Here are some of the reasons highlighting the importance of travelling;
1. It helps to face your fears:
Many people have phobias associated with height, motion sickness or trying foods from various cultures. Guess what! Travelling helps you to overcome all of these fears. May it be bungee jumping, walking on a scary bridge, or sky diving, you can overcome your height fear by taking risks and it helps you become adventurous.
2. It enhances your problem solving skills:
Many job employers write “problem solving skills” as a requirement to hire new employers, which can be gifted to you via traveling. For example, if you aim to visit the beautiful Edinburgh from London, you might not have a car, so it is a problem. The answer is you can get a car hire service or take a bus to save money, thus you solved the problem. Hence it has enabled you how to come of difficult or challenging situations.
3. Traveling improves your people skills:
That’s right, while you travel out of your comfort zone in a country not known to you, you need to talk to the locals to guide you in terms of directions or order food etc. This helps you to increase your social skills and teaches the manners of talking to people of different cultures, respecting their originality. The more you observe the people of a country, the more you learn about their lifestyle and might include some good things within your attitude.
4. Travelling is good for mental and heart health:
Travelling reduces the chances of you getting a heart attack and it also enhances your mental ability. Since you are a t a new place, your mind is always alert and is working to find the solution of the challenges ahead of you, and thus you are noticing things all around you. It sharpens your thinking powers.
5. It reduces your stress levels:
Our everyday lives, and fast paced work routine often make us feeling stressed out or depressed since we are repeating the same things over and over again. On the other hand, travelling allows you to forget your worries for a while and get away from your problems to enjoy beautiful landscapes, cultures, architecture belonging to the humans all around the planet.
I can testify that I learned all of these things while traveling and I think you can learn these too in addition to having a lot of fun.
