10 Real Reasons Why You Love Traveling

I know you all read articles like these already; you may or may not be tired of them, but people have different opinions on different subjects. keep reading them until one fits you.There are no pictures with this article for a reason. Go travel and take pictures of your own for your own keeping. Take pictures and upload them so you know you’re living. The meaning under each of these reasons will do more justice than pictures themselves. Take a moment and read this article. Travel for your own reasons, not why everyone else is doing it. Live your life and be happy.

1. You get to experience and see new scenery

For most of our lives we wake up every day and do the same routine. Shower, eat breakfast, get dressed, do your hair and makeup if you’re a girl, brush your teeth, and go to work or school. You come home to family and friends. You already know what you are doing tomorrow. But what if you’re tired of the same routine? What if you just want to see something different? You are tired of looking at the same street signs and grocery stores. I know I am. Some people just get tired. They get tired of routines, tired of doing the same thing on repeat. Sometimes it’s good to get out there and go places you have never seen before. Life is all about experience. It’s been said that the eye is the window to the soul. Seeing new places and things opens new dimensions. The eye is a powerful tool you possess. It doesn’t want to keep seeing the same things every day. It wants a break from that vision field and wants to see new places. New landmarks, buildings, wildlife. What's more, you're seeing a place so beautiful you have never seen before. It’s almost magical.

2. Meet new people

You will have those few friends that will never leave your side throughout your life, but what about all the other people you meet? You could be best friends with someone and in a few years it could end. You never know what could happen. Every person is different. You connect with so many people, and pretty soon you start hanging out more and becoming close. So why not travel? Why not go meet new people and make new friends? Meeting new people could be a start of a book that will never be finished. You will never know until you go out there and experience it. Until you go out there to meet new people. I love meeting new people. It interests me learning about others’ lives and how differently they are all lived. There are so many wonderful people in this world, and we have no idea they even exist. So travel, meet those “nonexistent people,” and become friends. Those people you meet from traveling, who knows how long they will be around? Go travel, meet new people, and find out.

3. Escaping troubled reality

Not every day, but some days you just do not want to have it. Any of it. We all have those days where we think the world is going to end. Where every single thing gets in the way. We battle situations every single day and struggle trying to find ways to deal with them. So why not travel? Escape from the bullshit. Get away and clear your head. Go to paradise where you won’t have a worry in the world. Some days it will help cure us. Sometimes we get so caught up in our lives we can barely stand up. It’s like we suffocate ourselves to try and breathe again. Every little thing pisses us off. Family or friend issues, work-related nonsense, or just those days when we wake up on the wrong side of the bed in the morning. Those are the days you want to find freedom. Those are the days why I love traveling. Escape that troubled reality. Clear your head and get on a plane and go somewhere. Let those problems fly out of you. Travel is rebellion in its purest form. To travel is to live. You're so caught up in your problems you’re not even living. Let’s live.

4. Feeling of existing: different perspective

I like to think we exist for a purpose. We as humans are here to live. Some are living better than others, but our goal is to live life is the best and happiest way we can. “In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take. I know this is true for me and for all of you too. We do things day by day and after some of the things we do, we wish we could go back and do them differently. Sometimes I feel like a shadow. Sometimes I honestly feel that people don’t even know I exist. Does everyone know about all the other people that exist in other states, other countries, other continents? I feel like half the people only pay attention to what’s going on in "their particular world." I believe traveling changes this perspective. You go to places you’ve never seen before; you see how people are living. You know who lives worse lives than you, or even better lives than you. You care about whether or not your butt looks good in the jeans you are wearing versus other people caring about finding food to feed their children. There is a whole other world that exists out there, and seeing it from that perspective is a life changing experience. To feel like you exist and are a part of something special. When I feel shadowed, I like going to different places by myself and just think. Just think about my problems in life. Then I think about other peoples’ problems and situations in life. Sadly enough, you and I have it made compared to others in this world. Travel and go experience and see things and people from a different perspective. Make them feel like they exist. Treat them how you want to be treated. Seeing how different the world is is the most amazing feeling. It changes you like it changed me.

5. Loneliness

Feeling like you have no one, when you know you have at least someone. I still feel this way sometimes. I know I have people to talk to, but sometimes I just feel so alone like it is me against this world. Traveling helps me take my mind off that. Loneliness can be a good and a bad thing. Being lonely can do damage within yourself. It makes you think in ways you never thought you could. Being lonely sometimes makes you depressed. So we take a trip. You go somewhere to get away from that loneliness. Take a break from the loneliness that consumes you. Find people and animals. Tell yourself you are a part of something so you don’t have to feel lonely again. One of the reasons I travel: loneliness. Feeling like you have no one and nothing so you want to go to an unfamiliar place. I know you guys are thinking that it would make you feel more alone but it doesn’t. Think about it. I’m feeling down, so I go somewhere I’ve never been by myself and I never feel so alive. Travel somewhere with your friends. Know you are never alone. Have the best time and make memories. Loneliness. Travel so you don’t feel so out of place in this world.

6. Learning about different cultures: educated

Everywhere you go nowadays you meet so many people who were raised differently than you. So many have different beliefs. I myself believe we all should be educated worldwide. Whether you travel again to different states or countries. Knowing about what is going on in the world around you is very important. Some things you think may not affect you, may take a bigger toll on your life than you thought. Travel to different places, learn what they know. Be a part of them. I am amazed of how different things are in other parts of the world. So different it’s beautiful. So colorful, so earthly. So travel and get a culture shock. Tell everyone how amazing your experience was, and cherish those moments you made. Travel to so many different places you forget almost how you used to live. Get experience. Live your life how you live it, but go out and experience the life of others too. Change is good.

7.Lost and found

You wake up in the morning and sometimes don’t know where you are. Some people say they want to travel and their excuse is because they just want to. Others want to travel because they see people doing it and they just want to do it too like them. Others travel for reason. What are the main reasons why you like to travel? Feeling lost? Travel to this country and help this village. Their happiness can change your life. Be the person you want children and even adults to look up to. Find yourself. Travel and find yourself. I believe finding out who you are is the stepping stone. Is this who you are, who you want to be, or who I am? We travel because we are lost within ourselves and our lives. I travel because I want to see what all I have to offer. Who am I? I want to go deep within myself and figure out what I am doing here. We travel because it helps us find peace within ourselves. I am lost. Now I am found.

8. Foodaholics

Who doesn’t love food? Travel and try new foods. See what other people eat and how other people eat. We just like to try new things. Eating is most people’s hobby. There are states and countries who are famous for certain foods. We can all be honest that we just want to go places sometimes to try the food. That taste in your mouth. Heaven, it’s so good. So good you want to come back again. Travel to eat new things. Expand your horizons and check out the food differences. Don’t leave on an empty stomach.

9.Adventure

Because you just love being spontaneous. Go out there and adventure everywhere. Explore, dream, discover. LIVE. JUST LIVE. We all just want to test our limits. See how far we can go. Go beyond how far we think we can go. Feel the adrenaline. Pulse beating so hard you can’t hear the music. Pounding. So nervous but we do it anyway. Take chances. Adventure. Life should be our greatest adventure. Adventure is not outside man; it is within. We all just love it. We all want adventure. We travel to feel and be adventurous.

10.Humanity

We are human. We want to feel human. Do as the other humans do. Traveling gives us the totality of existing as a human. Humanity doesn’t need a reason for traveling; it is the reason for traveling. We travel for quality and compassion or consideration for others. We are humankind. We walk this earth. Help other people find their humanity. We are Homo sapiens. We are people. People who love to travel for different reasons. Find yours.

“Life is too short. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it’s be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.”

WAKE UP AND LIVE. Find your own happiness.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
