I was able to appreciate the beauty of nature and those man-made structures and skyscrapers that were once beyond my imagination. To appreciate the differences that life has to offer and to appreciate and understand that every country is different – that the things that I believed back home were actually different in another country.

The views that I got to see were priceless. It  made me appreciate life even more. It made me feel some sort of fulfillment every time I get to see those landmarks that I only see on the Internet and actually got to see in person in real life. I got to observe beautiful places that I may just get to see once in my life. I may never return to a place that I have been to, but I will always have a memory that I will carry for the rest of my life.
1. I did what I wanted to.

I travel for myself. I travel because I want to do this for myself – not because I want to show everyone that I have the capacity to do it. I travel to open my eyes to the world out there.

I travel to have personal time. To get to know myself better. To learn how I can handle unexpected situations in foreign places. There will always be mishaps, no matter how prepared you are for a trip. But in those situations, I got to know what I am actually capable of doing.

Traveling gives me new experiences that I will cherish forever. It gives me moments to remember, whether I am travelling with my friends, family, or just by myself. I get to interact with the locals and make new friends. It opens my eyes to the reality of how everything is perfect as it is right now. It makes me feel happy, even up to those days when I am already back at home, recalling everything that I had experienced and the new adventures that I had gained. Those are the kind of memories that will stick in my mind forever. It helps me boost my confidence. It helps me grow as a person and I can’t wait to be out there and explore the world even more.
Do any of these reasons hit close to home? Why do you travel?
