If there was one piece of advice I have for people today to experience more joy in life, it is to travel more. I mean making the journey out to somewhere you’ve never gone before with an open schedule, to let life show you what opportunities were waiting for you that you couldn’t have even imaged before.It captures us with a sense of wanderlust and has us longing for more destinations to visit, cultures to experience, food to eat, and people to meet.
1. You’ll find a new purpose
“To travel is to take a journey into yourself.” – Danny Kaye
2. You’ll appreciate your home more
“All travel has it’s advantages. If the passenger visits better countries, he may learn to improve his own. And if fortune carries him to worse, he may learn to enjoy it.” – Samuel Johnson
3. You’ll realize that your home is more than just where you grew up
“No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.” – Lin Yutang
4. You’ll realize how little you actually knew about the world
“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” – Saint Augustine
5. You’ll realize that we all share similar needs
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” – Mark Twain
6. You’ll realize that it’s extremely easy to make friends
“A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” – Tim Cahill
7. You’ll experience the interconnectedness of humanity
“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” – Maya Angelou
8. You’ll experience serendipity and synchronicity
“Traveling is one of the easiest ways to become aware of the magic that weaves all of creation together through serendipity and synchronicity with perfect timing.” – Adam Siddiq
9. You’ll realize life is a wonderful gift
“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” – Helen Keller
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
