I traveled from a young age since my father was very fond of visiting places and often took me along. Then there was a time when education took priority over everything else and life was a cocoon with books and grades. Travel was an integral part of work life but those were more to do with airports and business meetings rather than the one that warms the soul. It started with frequent short breaks for travel until that decision when I decided to toast Life as a Vacation and enroll for a Course on Travel in the University of Life 🙂 !! Here are the 25 ways through which Travel Changed my Life.
- Travel showed me the way to accept people and situations and go with the flow.
- Travel taught me to Appreciate people and their ways of life
- Travel brought forward the origin of culture and it myriad forms
- Travel enabled me to appreciate different lifestyles
- With Travel, I understood the value of food and fell in in love with flavors
- Travel evoked the dreamer in me and my spare time got filled with weaving stories of distant lands.
- Travel evoked the feelings of Stop-See-Feel and I looked beyond the structures and sights and felt the energy in every place
