" I always wonder why birds choose to stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere on the earth, then I ask myself the same question." - Harun Yahya

1. It makes you feel alive.

Traveling is exhilarating. It makes you realize that the world is so much bigger than your hometown and the burdens you face there. It makes you wonder what you're going to experience, what else is out there, and why you don't do this more often. You're curious about everything, whether it's the history of what has happened there, or just the hot spots in town. It gives you so much more to take back than what you came with.

2. You get a chance to escape.

Traveling is a breath of fresh air. It's some place new, some place that you won't know anyone and you can take a break from everything that's going on back at home. You find comfort in the different surroundings and also in the faces that you don't recognize. You can put your responsibilities on hold and enjoy the simple way of life that is so often taken for granted.

3. You can be yourself.

Nobody knows you there. You're safe to be the person you choose to be without anyone knowing the difference of who you pretend to be at home. You can learn a lot about who you are when you're out of your comfort zone. Take advantage of that.

4. What's better than a road trip, anyways?

Some of the best memories you'll ever have will begin with good music and an open road. Whether you're traveling alone or with your very best friend, the road ahead is never boring because you're excited to see what's next on your adventure.

Stop reading about those places that you've always wanted to go. Put the book down. Go. Make it happen. See it for yourself.
