Why Do I Travel ???

Travel is a far Cry out of the comfort zone called home. It is a stress buster leaving every burden of the daily life back home and moving out among the unprotected zone with as less luggage as possible.
People who travel light are said to be easygoing, when they come back to the regular days, they learn to live light, leave the burden and yet deal with difficulties. They are independent and well managed. They are more immune to nature, cuts, bruises, strain and better fighter in the survival for the fittest.
The basic rules of travel eventually teach us the basic rules of life.
For a lot of us it takes a great effort to move out of our homes, to take a break, to gather the strength and to take out some finance from the regular expenditures. For a lot of us, it is how others will be effected while they move out and take a break. Again, it takes a lot of courage to spread out our wings and meet new people, different weather and different food. The thought of health is always a questions.
However, once we are able to successfully fight with the one standing in the mirror right in front of us, we are all good to go. No bound is a bound indeed. When we take that first step, we all tend to take a step back. If the dilemma is overcome to take the one forward, we have the entire universe out there, waiting for us. Once we go out there, we see thousands of them who think alike, feel alike, go through the same bindings over and over again till the point that they took that one first step.
We are same in all different ways and then we start meeting each other again and again in the similar path to share our dreams to share our vision and to walk the path.
Some of us travel because their jobs lets them to, some of us travel to see the world, to meet different people or to taste different cuisines. There are the ones who travel to find something or someone and then there are others who travel to find themselves. Some travel to escape from bindings and some travel to get lost in bindings. We all are one of them or most of them at the same time. We have different paths yet the same first step that takes us through the journey.
I have gone through a phase where I thought money is not important if I want to travel, time is, so I quit my job with my good amount of saving and started traveling. List water flowing out of a pot, I came to realize that time isn’t that all important thing here. Money is also a big factor. SO, I joined back. Managing both time and money is the best way out to continue to travel. So plan well, chalk what you want. Some of us want the luxury of home even when they travel while others do without the luxury to visit and attain the maximum out of their trips. Either way, plan well and plan in advance, be precise, be well researched. Talk to people, communicate with forums and use the maximum of what we call the social media.
Last but not the least, remain focused and healthy. In order to mentally drive one to be an independent traveler where you have to walk miles, eat all kind of food, stay wherever required and fight weather calamities, good health is a must. Again, to carry on with the confidence and to have the strength to participate in the entire plan wholeheartedly, physical strength is a must.
Let us be a smart traveler, let us reach those new heights.
