Travel brings change. We see different people, places and culture. This brings in a change in us. The feeling of being alien to others vanishes. We have created boundaries by defining countries, states, cities ..... so what ..... we can still travel and know about each other. Its a road that never ends..... beyond boundaries.
When we ask ourselves about WHY do we travel ... we have different answers to it.....
............We like it.
...............We feel at peace.
............We love Nature.
.............For a change.
...................To get away from routine etc etc.
We are all self described travelers. But is this the real reason or is Travel a basic human desire. We human beings were a wanderer and with evolution we formed societies and started to settle in areas which we called cities, townships, countries etc. We were a migratory specie and that instinct is still hidden inside us. Ask anyone and he will you same answer... I would like to travel but... We all want to move out of the place where we spent maximum of our time to faraway places. Our migratory gene starts dominating us and forces us to move out.
Travel is not only for pleasure. Pleasure can be derived from many other activities while sitting at home. It is more like a compulsion for us. We get bored of same place. It starts making a impact on our thoughts and reasoning power. Travel opens our mind to whole new ideas. Imagination keeps on flowing and brain is at its best. When we escape from the place where we spend maximum time, we feel innovative ideas and imagination flowing in our mind.
Living at same place makes our brain think on same lines. We fail to think on options. Travel makes us realize that a single thing could have multiple options and meanings. We come across different culture, beliefs and human beings, who perceive things differently. Thus our brain comes across a totally different perspective of seeing and dealing with things an problems. These observations makes us more creative. It becomes a secret tonic for our creativity.
Our routine, our job teaches us efficiency but kills our creativity. We are so much engrossed in our activities that our brain forgets to be creative. We never give it a chance to explore itself and be innovative. That routine starts killing us. Travel opens our brain. It gives it a option to analyse and see different cultures, practices, beliefs and ideas and gives it a whole lot of space to explore and be creative.
The home is same when we return. but we feel rejuvenated and filled with energy and we know that inside us has changed .............
I agree ...... I love to travel. I would spend all of my time travelling if money were not an issue! Visiting from bloggers.com by the way.
