Thank you!

These past 5 weeks I've told you all about the places I most want to visit and my favorite places I have already gone. Thanks for listening to my rambles about why and where I want to go. Now, it's your turn...

So go.

Go out there and discover the unseen, do something new with your life!

Try things you've never done, go places you've never gone. You never know where life will take you.

Maybe one day you'll go lobster catching in Maine like I have...

(here's a free laugh on me)

That Question On Everybody's Mind...

What is that question you ask...

WHY?

Why is it important to travel? Why do people want to travel? Why should I experience new cultures?

why, why, why is always the question

Well, like I've said before, there's an endless amount of reasons for someone to travel. Whether it's to discover new land, cultures, oceans, food,  or fashion, there's always a unique reason for each person why they should travel.

I'll keep it to the top 5 reasons why I think it's so important to travel..

1. New cultures and opportunities to learn. There are always those chances to learn, like school and work, but traveling will teach you new things that you would never be able to learn otherwise. Yes, you could learn in class about other's cultures and how they live, but like the famous saying goes 'seeing is believing.'

2. Gives you a break from your fast paced life and reduces stress. When your life is spinning crazy and out of control, what's the first thing everyone says? I need a vacation. Well here is your opportunity to go somewhere, relax yourself, and refresh your mental and physical emotions.

3. Discover yourself. Yes, you know who you are and what you like, but when you discover a new place and all of the options and places to see, you discover what you like deep down inside. This discovery is priceless.

4. Discover new foods. This is the best way to get out of your comfort zone! It's hard to go to another country and be able to order all of the American food you eat daily, so what better way of broadening your horizon and trying food you've never had before. Forget your calorie count for the week and dig into those new delicious types of food.

5. Make new friends. Everyone has their friends at home, but it's those friends you don't get to see often or talk to on a daily basis that holds a true friendship. Start a conversation with the person next to you on the train, or in the same hotel as you. You never know, you might leave there with a new lifelong friendship.


So whether it's new cultures, foods or friends, each and every one of these reasons will leave you with an impacting life lesson. I hope after reading these reasons you will think highly about why traveling is important, and hopefully one day you can agree with me and these 5 reasons.
