8. Adaptability
When you’re traveling for a long time, no day is the same. You might be sleeping in a 10-bed dorm one day and treating yourself to a five-star resort the next one. You might try weird food, ride a motorcycle, or even find yourself in scary situations. By the end of your trip, you’re comfortable in pretty much any setting.
With that in mind, you know your environment is always changing and you need to adjust accordingly. So, you can be as assertive in an office meeting as you are when you talk with your friends. Or, if you need to go on a last-minute business trip, instead of worrying, you get excited to visit a new city.
