7 simple truths about how travel changes us

After the journey it is difficult to remain the same as before. It changes our life and attitude towards it, changes our priorities and values. A trip to another country is the most exciting way to change yourself for the better. Many people are unaware of what changes one small journey can hide.

  1. How to make decisions quickly

At home, you know where to shop, order a pizza, which bus goes to your destination, etc. All these things seem simple. Until you find yourself in an unfamiliar place and understand that you do not know anything there. In this case, you have to make important decisions, on which in the literal sense it will depend on where you will spend the night and what you will eat. Such Spartan conditions will help you to be responsible for your actions in the future and make decisions easier.

  1. How to calculate your finances

When traveling, you must include a person - an accountant. Even if you have always had bad math and you are a humanist by nature, try to take it seriously. You do not want to be left without money in the middle of your journey? Before the trip, try to at least roughly plan a budget. First, you will be stormed from spontaneous to the necessary purchases.

Our advice - think before you buy something. Immediately ask yourself the questions: “Do I really need this fan?”.
Lunch in a supermarket instead of dinner in a cafe will help save money and provide an opportunity to go on an exciting excursion to the waterfall? Immediately yes!

  1. How to have fun

A plan is always good. The plan does not allow us to step aside, but do not make it a guide to action. The train may be late, the weather may be rainy, the cafe may not be your favorite muffin - the world is not perfect! Do not be upset because something does not converge. Traveling is an opportunity to see the world and collect your collection of interesting stories. So relax.

  1. How to become open

Use a foreign language to order food at a cafe, buy tickets for a tour or ask for directions. You taught him not only to get good grades at school or university? Language is another tool to get to know a foreign country, its culture, meet local people and make new friends.

  1. How to appreciate small things

During the trip you will understand how few things you really need for happiness. Not only because heavy luggage greatly complicates your life while traveling from place to place, no. Traveling is a great way to make your life easier, both spiritually and physically. Your memories will not take up much space in your backpack, but they will leave you with the baggage of knowledge for the rest of your life.

  1. How to understand yourself

During the trip, you get answers to many vital questions. It is not clear why the insight to come during the trip. Perhaps climate change has a beneficial effect on the brain, but the fact remains. When you move away from your everyday life and daily routine, new thoughts come to your mind, you start to look at things differently and it is likely that the solution to the problem that you have been keeping in your head for the second week will come during one beautiful sunset

  1. How not to be afraid to try new

Traveling to an unknown country is a great way to get yourself out of your comfort zone. Talk to the locals, even if you know only 4 words in their language, explore the city without a map, try the local cuisine. Do not go to extremes and put yourself in danger, but try to try as much as possible new. After all, you are on a journey! And this is the time when you need to go beyond the usual.
