Travel

We travel to have enlightening experiences, learn and grow!


Travel means something different to every person in the world. This is because different persons have different reasons for traveling and this is what brings the different definitions of the word “Travel”. In my opinion traveling is more than just visiting or seeing the souvenirs and pictures we bring back. It is about the experiences we gain. This experiences we gain from new environments and people we meet will help shape and transform us in ways that we might not even expect. I fully agreed with Ricks Steve in his book, “Travel As a Political Act” when he says, “We travel to have enlightening experiences, to meet inspirational people, to be stimulated, to learn, and to grow”. This means a purposeful travel must bring impact within us and our societies.
Travel can be a political act when we travel to learn and come home with a better understanding and view of the world and the people who live on it and With this better understanding of the world we can teach other people around us about our travel experience and what we learned and by doing so we begin together working to make the world better.
