Traveling can be an instant therapy for every kind of person. Traveling not only works as a great reliever but also lets you know more about the things you had no idea about.

When you’re at your home you always get to see what you already know of. You go to the kitchen and find the same dish being cooked that you just had 2 days before. Go to the living room and find the same program being watched since morning. Go to your room and watch the same mess lying all over the floor, bed, and study.

Well, the similarity is not only INSIDE the home but also when you walk out of it. You visit the garden and find the same flowers blooming, the same trees and plants growing, and the same side the Sun keeps emerging every single day. You even go to the market nearby and watch the same products being sold.

When you’re usually a ‘homebody’, it’s very true to believe that you’re already familiar with the sword ‘same stuff’. But is there any world apart from the same mundane home and office you live and work at, respectively? It is obviously a ‘YES’.

The world is not just your tiny little home, rather it is a vast land of surprises, that would make you go “WOW!”

It’s quite normal for most of us to feel bored, stressed out and sometimes even unhappy at times. Sometimes, due to some problems, it is understandable to even think of ourselves being ‘homebodies’, but we also have to understand that life is not only concentrated in our home because the world is even bigger than we think.

So, travel wherever you want. You might want to visit beautiful countryside, a dense forest for camping reasons, cool and splendid beaches, serene mountains and much more. There are absolutely a lot of places to travel and things to explore.

Nowadays, it’s not even too difficult to get information about any good travel spots and locations. Such places are even getting commercialized where they’re aired in a very informative way.

Travel and explore and you may also get to meet new people, make new friends, get to eat something brand new, watch an entirely different surrounding, and of course, experience a fresh climate. So, there are some advantages of traveling that could make a great impact on you and will also create an urge in your mind to just get out of your rutting home and feel the world outside:

• Socializing with the world outside.
• Helps to improve physical and mental health as well.
•  Soothes our minds and fills us with positive vibes.
• Helps you to adjust and adapt to the environment, which is normally not done when you’re at your home.
• Aids you to create wonderful memories.
• Builds confidence and a sense of learning more.
• Try a new cuisine.
• Helps you to diversify, your mind and connect with new people you haven’t seen and didn’t even know about.
• Gives you an opportunity to learn, experience, and appreciate the places you travel to, and,
• Most important of all, reduces stress and anxiety.

It is not only about traveling abroad or internationally, but it can also take place within your own country and is considered much better than traveling internationally, in view of conditions such as:

• Less or no language barriers,
• No jet lags (except in large countries such as Russia or Canada)
• No currency exchange,
• Less time is taken to reach such destinations, and
• Not a very BIG cultural shock.

There could be numerous reasons why to travel a lot but on the other hand, there could be a number of disadvantages, too, such as:

• The slightly uncomfortable feeling when you immediately shift your entire daily routine and begin to travel.
• Cost of traveling, which is a major growing issue
• Unexpected expenditure during emergencies
• Canceled trains or flights and, at times even unexpected. shutdowns, often for a longer period of time. (usually happens to unfortunate people)
• Getting into trouble, mishap, or even accidents at unknown places.
• Having long flights or trains.
• Having experienced jet lags while traveling long distances.
• Obviously, language barriers, but not a big issue if you can speak in English.
• Difficulty adapting to the new surrounding even for a few days or few weeks.

Traveling provides you with a number of opportunities and chances through which you’re not only exploring the whole world around you but also trying to manage and survive through the maze of expectations.

In modern times, several travel agencies have cut off half our burden and anxiety, however, it’s still recommended to, at least, once travel all by yourself, it teaches you the real essence of confidence. Travel agents have even made traveling easier by providing guides all the time.

Traveling is usually suggested to be undertaken independently so that you may learn all by yourself and not lean on others’ backs. Plus, you’re not even spending money on such travel agents. Even when there’s no language barrier some prior knowledge will always help you to at most say a simple “Hello!” to a person speaking “Bonjour!” or “Namaste!” rather than standing dumbstruck.

Travelling is obviously expensive but it could prove to be a great therapy when the soul is in distress. It is way better than attending regular therapy sessions which can be costly, too. Besides providing relief, it teaches you the practical world which is often, not imparted to your brain through books.

It would break you free from the mundane days spent working on office chairs or binge-watching Netflix lying on your couch. Binge-watching and eating will give you temporary satisfaction, but traveling is an all-rounder.

So, it is undoubtedly a big ‘YES’ that traveling is worth it. You’ll experience, visualize and learn a lot from traveling. And even though your workplace or home seems to be your favorite, don’t feel guilty about staying away from home for a few days as the world outside will captivate you so much that you’ll never like to return home. So, pack your bags and head out to explore somewhere new!
