3 Reasons Why Travelling is Important in Life to Gain Perspective

‘Traveling- it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller!’- Ibn Battuta.

This is how I perceive travelling because it has impacted my life in myriad ways.

While vacation travel makes us experience new cuisine, a famous tourist attraction, vibes & memories, a life-changing experience happens when you relocate to a new place and get to soak the culture around that new place.

In the case of the latter, travelling broadens life’s perspective, as it did for me in the following ways as I resided in different cities and countries:

• It gave a counter perspective of how things look back in my home country, whether it likes and dislikes about people, food, culture, stereotypes, and whatnot.
• It made me an informed human that whatever relations, emotions, or rationalities exist in my hometown exist everywhere else, too; only skin colour and language change.
• An unforgettable journey to my hometown during my college days turned upside down with near-death experiences, but it built the willpower that I have today.

So travel whenever you get a chance!
