Hi Steemit Friends
I love to travel .When talking about traveling especially abroad, the first thing that may come to your mind is money. That person must have a lot of money to travel around the world every year. But the truth is, you don't have to. You just have to know the tips and tricks. And the most important, the willingness to get out of your comfort zone, your home sweet home. And in return get the benefits out of it.
It's not just about the fun and the experience, traveling offers you much more than that. Want to know more? Okay, let's get started.
Become a better planner
Planning can sometimes be cumbersome. Where to stay? Which places to visit, and which you can skip. How's the weather there? What kind of clothing to pack? Should you bring some food with you? How are the public facilities? And the questions can go on and on. But actually, it's fun. As you find out more, you get to know the culture, people and common things in the city or country you want to visit. Prepare yourself beforehand, rather than experiencing culture shock and spoil your mood. The good side is the more you travel, the better planner you become.
Become a highly adaptive person
As one saying says, if you enter a cow barn you have to moo, and if you enter a duck coop you have to quack. The message is, where ever you go, respect the culture and lifestyle of the locals. Learn to understand them and adapt as much as you can. They'll love you for that. It makes you more flexible and more easy going person. This includes improving your social and communication skills. In getting around places, you communicate and make friends with foreigners. It's fun, and builds your self-confidence too.
Become more open-minded and creative
Experiencing new things in life is invaluable. It opens up your mind to new possibilities and gets you out of being normal. Sometimes we have to get out from our routines and do something extraordinary. Traveling gets you out of your comfort zone and give you opportunities to try new things. You'll learn a lot and be more creative.
Become More Perseverance
In traveling, there is always uncertainty and unpredictable event. In facing them, your real values inside you will reveal themselves. Whether you're an impatient, or panicky or selfish person, it will show out. And most often you'll get to know the consequences of having such values there and then. You'll learn what are good and bad values as you meet more people and experience more situations. It increases your self-awareness and makes you more persevere. It's a life lesson that will make you a better person inside out.
Build up a lifetime memories
Being in places where you experience different weather, culture, lifestyle, environment, laws, and scenery, is a precious lifetime experience. The friendship, the photos, the things you collected, are all the things that you'll look back to cherish your past. They are inspirations in creating a better future. Something that you can't get from your home. It's a lifetime memory.
Therefore, if you have the thought of traveling, don't wait. Start creating the opportunity now. Find ways to make it happen. Life is short so live it to the fullest.
