Lesson You Can Bring Back From Travels

Henry Miller,  An American Writer say: "One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing new and beautiful things,".  I must say, and really very true about the benefits of traveling in expanding our perspective and fortifying us with new insights.

Take the initiative to step outside your comfort zone and below are some likely life lesson you can bring back from your trips.


- LIVE IN THE MOMENT
Traveling is existential. When you travel, everything around you is new, fanstatic and beautiful. You forget about the inside of your own head, because you're focused on the external world. Even when that guy hawking his wares is driving you nuts or your back hurts from the climb, you're living right in the moment. And when you're standing on the tops of a popular hill watching the sun go down, or watching the amazing waterfall in awe, you feel incredibly alive. This is what living is meant to be. This is existentialism.


- DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL THINGS
Travel and the world slaps you into perspective. It's easy to become caught up in the minutiae of day to day activities and annoyances: the unclean dishes in the sink, the person with undesirable dress sense, the woman who always leaves early for flimsy excuses when you have to stay and finish your work.

But when you travel and observe the wonders is if the nature in a particular culture, you could again a better perspective on what really matters in life.

- FIND OUT WHO YOU ARE
Traveling helps you find out who you are. Leave behind your family or friend's long term perceptions of who you are and you are free to be who you want to be. Maybe your family has always seen you as shy. You'll be surprise how much easier it is to speak more confidently when there's no one around with expectations about how you should or should not behave.

When you travel, you discover parts of your identify you never knew you had. These maybe strengths or weaknesses, likes and dislikes or talents that you've never needed to use before if you're not happy with your career, traveling can help you find your passions or rediscover a part of you that was suppressed by career expectations. These can be the basis for a satisfying new career and more fulfilling life.

Avail yourself of the wisdom in traveling, pack your bags and get ready for 'travel - schooling'.
