5 ways travel can change you

Every time when we travel to a new place, we are very excited to see the markets, monuments, and other highlights of that place. We buy some stuff from the city as a souvenir and we click pictures to preserve those as lifelong memories. But there is something which we cannot buy or capture but still comes with us, that’s our travelling experience.  We do not notice but travelling changes us in many ways. Check out 5 of them and feel free to add your own experience in the comment box:

1. Travelling broadens your horizons–

Yes its true, travelling  helps you to know  and  understand the other side of the world.  You become open towards exploring new things , it helps you come  out of your shell and  get to know about another culture, people and their perspectives.

2. Makes you more adaptable –

 Travelling makes you more flexible towards challenging situations, for example, if you get a flat tire  or your train or flight gets delayed  you won’t mind  taking lifts from strangers, waiting for hours at airports/stations or eating  any kind of food available there.

3. Makes you realize the importance of little things –

While travelling abroad or to any new place you will realize the beauty  and importance of comforts of daily life, which  you can not avail  in new location it may be your  comfort pillow, your favorite tea or anything.

4. Enlighten your Mind –

Every time you travel you become more wiser, you will be enriched with lots of experience. You  will observe  even the minutest of  things and try to  get more knowledge about  it, like the local language of the city,  street foods , monuments, the way people talk, live, joke and celebrate.

5. Find and make  lifelong friends–

Travelling as a stranger to a new place will enhance your networking skill as you need the help of locals to get around in the city and you will end up making many new friends, some for even lifetime.  Also, the next time you visit that place, you will a reason and a place to stay!
