3 Reasons Traveling Is a Necessity
2. You Change Your Priorities
I have traveled in a minimalist way for a long time, but even still, the more I travel, the less I carry. When you meet desert tribes who don’t have anything and are super happy with their lives, you question your possessions. I’m constantly asking myself, “Do I really need this?”
Imagine, in a fantastical world, if everything you take for granted didn’t exist? You didn’t have hot water — running water, even! – and no safety, not even shoes? Well, this fantastical world is out there and it’s very real.
The more you travel, you’ll see yourself eating more healthily, taking shorter showers because you’re conscious of water wastage, and wanting to learn about new cultures by taking language courses or visiting museums or art galleries.
The things I value nowadays are a direct consequence of my travels — what was important in the past might not be again in the near future.
