I love taking trips because I get to visit new countries, cities, and places.
Some of my benefits gained from traveling include the following:
- Having new perspectives
- Knowledge of different cultures
- Gratefulness
My biggest growth were times when I traveled alone.
Without others’ help, I was forced to push myself out of my comfort zone by communicating in foreign languages, eating alone, and making new friends.
Getting comfortable with myself and my own thoughts was one of the most difficult things I had to do.
Traveling alone has also allowed me to meet lots of amazing people whom I still keep in touch with.
Not having anyone to fall back on, I’m more receptive to meeting new people.
Viewing my hometown as a tourist, I find beauty in the mundane streets I walk on every day and meet people whom I normally wouldn’t engage with.
