My Reasons to Travel

This post highlights why this year should be your year to travel and see more of the world.

If you're wondering what are the benefits of travel?, Why I travel so much? Or even just Scared about travelling this is for you.

1. Expand your mind

If you find yourself to be quite narrowminded and closed mind travels opens your mind up due to the exposure you gain from being in a different country and seeing the world from a different country perspective. You’ll learn to appreciate things around. Honestly meeting people from other cultures and being out of your country makes things clearer why people might not see the world how you do. Seeing the world will improve your vision and mindset you’ll be thankfully on far you’ve come and where you want to end up.

2. Travelling makes you more interesting adds to the memory bank to be shared with others

Let’s all be honest one of the most interesting people you’ve met always have the best stories starting something like “last year in Timbuctoo” already gets people wanting to hear more. Travel itself allows you to expand on your skillset water sports, it's, cooking classes and even joining in on traditional dancing this helps you physically, mentally whilst giving you enjoyment and building your confidence without even knowing it.

3. Allows you to grow and learn about yourself.

If you think about it you're taking yourself out of your comfort zone that itself shows how courageous you are. Think your getting ripped off? or want an item, but you have little money? Never fair my friend you’ll learn the skill of haggling, getting an item for half the price well done my G you’ve just learned the art of sales.

You get the opportunity to build connections with people from different walks of life whether its connection with other travellers, locals or even friends you're already travelling with. This helps you get out of your shell and enhance your sense of self and strengthen your personal identity which importantly how increases your confidence.

4. You’ll change the world (Seriously)

This is like my favourite thing about travelling imagine if everyone travelled and we all became more culturally sensitive.

The biggest compliment I get is that “wow I though Black People this that this” but you’ve you proved me wrong. If it’s a girl “oh wow it's true what they say about black dudes.” :P

The best thing about travel is that you’ll be accepted take this from a Black Lad living in Asia I’ve not dealt with racism as of yet of course people are fascinated about my appearance because its nothing they see all the time.

5. De-Stress the mind

We all go through stress at some point in our lives what travel has enabled me to do is disconnect from the badness going in my life and really appreciate what’s going good instead of the bad.

6. Build on Social and Communication Skills

You’ll develop ways to communicate with native speaks if you don’t know the language of the country your visiting. Most people will be happy to assist you and show you around as not only are they helping you, you’re actually helping them improve there English and communication skills win-win for both people.
