Why You Should Travel?

Everyone desires to travel but most people don't go. There are many reasons for this. Fear keeps most people from traveling. When I first took a vacation in 2006, people always wanted to do what I was doing. For some people it is easy to just quit and go travel. Some have it in them all along and just need a gentle nudge. For me, all it took was a trip to Thailand and jealousy before I quit my job and telling my friends I was leaving to travel. For others it is a lot harder to leave. They are more tied to their job, more afraid, more uncertain. They may want to go but, instead the nudge I needed, they need a full on push to get them to travel.

Looking for reasons? Well here are some good reasons why you should travel the world and why now is the best time:

There's a recession. With the world economy in a tailspin and businesses are slashing jobs, there is a lot of economic uncertainty in the world. Avoid it all. Go out and travel. If you quit your job, get rid of your stuff and travel, you wont have to worry about the recession. Youll be avoiding it. In fact, prices are falling as the tourist industry tries harder to motivate families to travel. Travel and come back when the economy is better and the job market more secure. Let others worry while you go out and have fun.

You meet a lot of unique people. There is not a day that doesn't happen when you dont meet people from all over doing the same thing you are. You'll meet locals who will show you around and open their homes and city to you. What more can you ask for in life than meeting wonderful people and creating a network of friends that spans the globe. Think of it as networking for when the economy gets better.

It's better than working. Nobody likes to work- that is why we call it work and not fun. Sitting behind a desk under fluorescent lights all day takes the fun out of life. Nobody wants to spend their existence doing that. Take a break from that and go out and recharge your batteries.

Its cheap. Everyone thinks that traveling is expensive but its not at all. You can travel quite cheaply by using low cost airlines, staying in other people, or with locals who offer you their home, and by taking local transportation.

You learn about other cultures. The world is a big place and globalization has made it much more complex and interconnected. You'll never begin to understand all the other players in the world or why people do what they do by sitting at home. Traveling will teach you about other cultures and people and make them more than just a face on the news.

You'll make everyone jealous. Let's face it- everyone wants to travel the world but few people do. Do it and make everyone at home jealous of you, your stories, and your photos. While they work all day, you explore the world.

Traveling around the world is a life changing experience. There's no reason not to go. There is no big secret on why to go. Just go. Even if it's for a week, or a month, or a year. See the world. You only get one chance. Make it worthwhile.
