3 Reasons Traveling Is a Necessity

3. You Become a Better Person

Some people dislike this statement, saying it has nothing to do with traveling. I’d argue this by claiming that the way you travel is as important as traveling itself.

If you and your friends are going to Vegas just to gamble and party, I, too, cannot see any improvement in one’s life. Equally, if you go to India and only stay in five star hotels, I doubt it will be a rewarding experience.

When you travel you connect with a place and its people — you slowly see that no matter how different you are, you’re still human beings. People want shelter, they want their children safe and nourished, and to have a long laugh with their friends.

This, in itself, is a beautiful realization — we’re all equals. The moment you start seeing yourself as a citizen of the world, your worldview shifts completely. You want to understand more and feel more.

You want everybody to be as happy as you are and you don’t want to see anyone suffering. When you believe you can change yourself and change the world around you, travel becomes more than just a desire – it becomes a necessity.
