I love the fact that when you travel to a place where you know no one and no one knows you, life gives you a chance to be anyone in that land without the pressures of the life you had lived previously. It's like restarting your life.
A ship is safe in the harbor but that's not what ships are for. So be the person outside the box, get out of your comfort zone, that's the person you want to be.

Traveling is a big part of my life! I am completely addicted to it. There is such a big world out there to discover and experience that I don't think you could ever travel enough. I love seeing new places and seeing how other people live. I love trying new foods and cultures. I think traveling gives you a different perspective on life than if you stay in one place your whole life. It makes you see the enormity of the world. It humbles you and teaches you. I think everyone should travel. There is no better teacher than experiences and traveling gives you that in so many different forms!

The fact that this is what I have earned. In our routine lives we earn to live and struggle everyday. When we take a break and travel, then I get a great stress free feeling.

Although I've not travelled much around the world, I love to see new places, meet and make new friends, observe and take cue from other people's cultures. Travelling around makes me have a broader perspective of things and I am making it a point to make travelling part of my life.

Good point. We get wider perspective once we travel and see difficult cultures.

Traveling is basically the teacher which teach how to learn, critical analysis, exploring new things, meeting new people, exploring new culture and heritage and the most thrilling factor is how to be in role of the traveling individual and being the part of visited communities or regions.

I love learning about new cultures and trying the many unique dishes they offer. I'm not too keen on the "meeting new people" bit of traveling because I'm introverted.

The scenery and the places and the experiences I get from it.

Having to travel is a good adventure and I admire the author's creativity. It entails you a wide scope about nature and breeds you with a new environment and background, helping you to get adapted to new adventures life's got to offer.

I love learning about different cultures and traditions. Even within the United States, lifestyles are so different from region to region. I also love going to places of historical significance and seeing the streets walked on and buildings frequented by important figures of the past.

My favorite thing about travel is the chance to get a glimpse into how people in a different part of the world live and what their day to day lives look like. I like to imagine waking up in those places as a native instead of a tourist and the ways that would alter how I spend my time.

New scenery, new culture, new friends, just anything about new. Travelling lets out the independence within us. One day, i plan on travelling alone, to explore this world i'm living.
