11 things you learn while traveling
“You change after you travel and you don't come back as you were” - like a Chinese
Travel changes life and teaches us about ourselves and the world we live in. We feel very cautious when we know the required budgets, organization and baggage packages. It's one of the best exciting ways to become a better person - and we have 11 reasons to prove it.
How to make a decision like you're a leader
In your home you know where to shop and what to order from your favorite pizza shop. When you travel, you know basically nothing, and there will be a large number of decisions to make - from the food you will eat to your place of residence and the bus schedule. It may be awe at first, but making a decision with confidence will be easier and being able to trust your decisions is a great feeling and valuable skill.
How to become an expert in budgeting
When you travel, you should make sure that your money will last for weeks or even months. Your priorities will shift - from spontaneous shopping fun to meticulously planned purchases. At the same time, you will learn when to save and when to waste: a week of lunch from the supermarket to save extra money so you can go on a snorkelling trip at the Great Barrier Reef? Yes, please do this.
How to become relaxed and flexible
It is good to have a plan, but remember that the plan may change during your trip: buses and trains will be delayed and there will be rainy days. All this is good - but do not get nervous because of the schedule. The essence of travel is not about the places you've visited in the countries, but the good stories you've come out to tell.
How to speak the language
Having to use a foreign language to get food or to go places and find places to stay - not just to get a good score - is the best way to learn. Will help you make new friends, explore a new culture and enjoy your trip to the fullest. So, no matter where you go, always learn a few words: it is the locals who know the best restaurants, bars and shortcuts anyway.
How to be grateful
You will be in an invaluable position to actually try things for the first time - things will get harder as you get older. Being in a new environment makes you appreciate the little things that make life so exciting and make memories unforgettable: travel teaches you not only to walk in life with open eyes and ears but also with an open mind.
How small material things matter
When you travel around the world, you'll quickly realize just how little big or heavy things you really need to be happy - not just because carrying luggage causes back pain. Travel is a great way to remove unnecessary things from your life, both mentally and physically. Luckily, memories don't take up too much space in your backpack - and you'll definitely learn how to pack your luggage with great skill.
How to steer up
Many important life questions have been answered while traveling. It's hard to say exactly what makes exploring the world ideal for gathering ideas and putting things into context. Perhaps because of the difference in climate or the lack of showers or the beautiful sunsets that you just saw. Add to this that you have enough mental and physical distance between you and your daily life, and you will have the perfect recipe to solve all kinds of problems.
How to listen to your health
We live in a world where we are all connected with the push of a button. Just being able to be alone without feeling lonely is one of the skills to be reckoned with these days. When you travel, you may be alone for some time, and you'll have to learn how to enjoy your company. Once you feel happy and satisfied without relying on someone else you have won a lot in this life.
How to find friends everywhere
as soon as you go out on the road to travel you will begin to develop radar to pick up people with big backpacks, comfortable clothes and your sparkles in their eyes. The great thing about meeting fellow travelers is that you can share stories and travel with them for a while or share tips and tricks before parting. Some people will give you a helping hand in carrying your backpack while others will become a lifetime friend.
How to roam - without internet connection
Start your journey without worrying about how you will look on Instagram or Facebook: The number of likes and posts should be your last concern when watching the sunset. Travel is a good time for separation and isolation in a literal and figurative sense. Don't worry or worry about being connected to everyone or photographing everywhere. Just be there watch and wonder.
How to try new things
Travel is the perfect opportunity to get out of your comfort zone - motivational posters say that travel is what life starts from after all. Ask for directions with your five-word Chinese vocabulary, explore a new city without a map and all this fried cockroach for breakfast. Don't put yourself in dangerous situations - but be adventurous and try new things as much as possible.
