Travel discoveries

Have you had questions in your head that went unanswered and eventually forgotten?

Its funny how this works, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one, but traveling, enlightens those unsolved mysteries.

I love traveling, not only because I want to de-stress and relax. But more importantly its because I love learning new things - new streets, new train stations, new airports, new culture, new names, new faces, new histories....the list is endless!

And in all this discovery, everytime, this surprises me, but everytime I come home a new person. I come home with a wiser approach to life, to people, to situations.
Its splendid and raw because its so simple, when I sense those layers dispersing like butterflies off my chest.

And when I look back at what bothered me, I find myself grinning and thinking it was so silly!

There are so many issues we have in our mind, so many judgements and queries that are burried and forgotten, but still impact our personality.
Its just wonderful that so many things I didnt know bother me, wash away everytime I travel!

I hope I keep rediscovering myself everytime! :)

I just wish I had more money so I could keep traveling! :P

Hit the nail on the head there...
The whole point I think is the 'frog in a well' phenomenon. We know nobody and nothing apart from what we face in our daily life and thus they assume bigger importance than they should. I think an effort to see things from a broader perspective is extremely important for our growth as a human being. And this is best done by travelling.
I wish I had the money to just travel too..=)
Glad you're back.
