I got this idea because of BoJack Horseman web series. In one of episode, Diane Nguyen is having rough time and getting divorces for Mr. Peanubutter. So she sudden plan a trip to Vietnam(she want to move away from Los Angeles and problem). She trying to write about "10 Reasons to go to Vietnam" and narrates her story with a positive choices for making this trip is best in her life. But in end it will show the travel to other place is really helpful or not? Is it make her decision about life is good or bad?
BoJack Horseman is great show. I like this show because for its silliness of tongue-twisting words, darkest moments of each character and it show exact psychology of human being. Best reason to watch this show is showing the painfully true about life. In this topic, I am discuss about my experience along with some interesting point in this episode. Because I love to travel, and there are few people who don’t like it. But we must
accept, that things are not always perfect.
1. Is Traveling make us smarter?
If you are travel in India, you will pick a many new words in every different place you visit. Because India has second most number of languages(780), after Papua New Guinea(851) in region of southwestern Pacific Ocean of Australia. Every time you travel it will help you to learn about yourself. Travel is not help you to new language or understand about you and it also help you to develop empathy and a deeper understanding of other cultures. That why we travel may differ from one person to another.
I'm sure that develop or learn a new skill means you are getting smarter. If you say that learn a new skill is not make us smarter, then how you can say that read will make us smarter. For example, If you reading some information about bike or car, then most of them don't ask the question about it and you known that missing many information. That why you need visit to a nearby showroom and analysis by yourself.
So my point is traveling will help us to make smarter and it narrow a your mind to a unique and base idea of the place.
2. Is travel help you to discover a new you?
Here I discussing based on my travel, so maybe it can be different for you. Exposure to new cultures will bring entire new set of tradition with their own unique way. In this world you can say it is very big place, there will always something new to steal our heart. Maybe that can change your point of view entire about our problem. So enjoy the ride and stop worrying where you are; you will get to know where you need to be. Every direction and shortcut is there for a reason.
And in this world, most of them are nice to stranger because they don't have a reason to hate you. Most of time, we will not cross our paths again- although,
there is the chance that they can become our best friends for life. However,
it is undisputed that they saved our day. Few people will behavior like rough, angry, or irritate to you, but we need to accept them with a smile and without hesitation to them.
So in my point view travel will help you discover new information about you, but not on every travel. Very few experience is helpful and memorial in your life.
3. Is traveling improve your health?
In recent studied, it show that traveling will lowering your chances of developing a heart disease, the health benefits
of traveling are huge. You may stay sitting on a chair all day long at
the workplace, then travel will including some walking to your trip is sure to make your
body feel better. It might help you feel better, both physically and psychologically. Traveling more is likely to have a direct impact on our mental, especially if you're no longer used to going out of your comfort
zone. Trust me: travel more and your doctor will be happy.
Although travel is make us good, there is also many problem will face by yourself. It can even more annoying on a trip because of changes in
weather, food, environment, etc., we get sick easier. The most common
diseases are colds and stomach upset. Besides these common ailments, I
have suffered from dizziness and blisters on my feet.
So traveling will improve our health but it’s important carry a kit with basic medicines and essential material which make our trip little comfortable. Or if we
already have some condition then pack the specific medication for it.
4. Is it good to disconnect from your comfort zone?
Some people believe that our life is driving due to their lifestyle, which conviction is based on our experience. Maybe it is true but most of them are trying escape from comfort zone. Like Your boss is taking over your life? Your
parents are trying to make you live the life they want? How long do you
think you can handle this pressure before you burst and everything falls
apart?
So travel is not a bad option - it is the most natural way of inducing the
feeling you need to change the way of thought or find a way to make it correct. The trick in travel is unwanted problem, so bit of preparation to avoid making a mistake during your journey. New experiences can bring new thoughts, and the more we see, then our picture will be wider of this world.
So going out of your comfort zone, it will help you to feel better, both physically and psychologically.
5. Is traveling is help you to expand your real Social Network?
Believe it or not, social networks was once like a real thing in real
life, but now social network are like living with the imaginary friend you don't even known them. Crazy, I know. One of the main reasons why I love traveling is
that I believe that establishing connections and building a relationship with other. Learn about them is also a smartest things you can do in today’s world. It is
sometimes hard to build long-lasting relationship with the people you
met in traveling, but it doesn't mean it's not worth meeting new people.
But I can tell you that make a best friend in overnight is rare, but spend a magical week together, then go
separate ways, and ten years down the line of minimal contact, meet up
again in another country/place and have it seem like no time has passed. We
come into contact with hundreds of people at each travel, and it don’t need constant maintenance that become parts
of our lifelong social circle with everyone.
So in traveling you can make a real friend, but everyone you met in trip is not your friend. I am sure travel will expand your social network.
6. Can you trust a person in the journal?
This is bit close to my previous point. In travel you met at least hundreds of people, in each of them are not trust-able person. I mean, most of them will contact you for your thick wallet you have. In some crowded places, there are groups of people waiting to play their
tricks on you or some tourists. Sometimes they offer to take you a photo or
read your hand and then want to charge for that. I confess that I have
fallen into some scams, but I don't lose many problem.
There is some person will come to you, and trying to help you. And then they want to charge
us the double or more only because we are traveler. I mean, not all of
us have a thick wallet, some make a lot of sacrifices to be able to
travel. A good traveler learns to identify and avoid these tourist traps or scams.
So While traveling never share your personal information or money to anyone.
7. Which place you need to travel?
I can't suggest you a place or mode of transport or how many days. But I can inform about my travel plan for future. I don't like to travel aboard because passport checking, long haul flight, different time zone. I am share my experience in aboard. It is not the flight that bothers me, but the time that we have to
wait. To begin you have to arrive 3 hours ahead at the airport for long
flights. Besides when you arrive at your destination you still have to
make the line to go through the passport controls. And then wait for
your suitcase to appear to pick it up from airport to your place. And I don't like is the passport check. Why? because they are uncomfortable, if they take some time in some cases are even scary. Even I made sure I had all my papers with me. Like I printed my bookings, my
insurance, my return flight, everything, but I was still nervous. I feel better after they stamped my passport after a brief
interview.
Mostly I won't visit the crowds place. Because when I trying to enter to see the Taj Mahal I had to wait for 2 hours in the queue
(book my friends). And I almost had to
climb on someone’s shoulders. Now a days it better to get used because, now I planning visit on place based not season time. Lately, more
and more people want to travel, we can’t blame them, right? After all,
we are all in the same boat.
So travel to place where you feel comfort and safe.
8. Do you need to face any problem in journey?
While travel you will face problem, and some problem that will make you think why I am here. First of problem is getting lost, and it can be a horrible feeling and slowly your heart beating faster as the panic starts to rise. You can get lost your thought and make it worse. With modern technology this problem can be avoid and make it easier. A word of warning though, this is not a foolproof plan! If your battery
dies the plan can be crashing down. A pen and paper may be ancient
technology, but they don't require batteries. If you can, take a seat and take some slow breathes. Strangers are
generally nice and helpful so, if it's safe to do so, ask for
directions.
Not able to communicate with the people around that can lead to all kinds of emotions like loneliness, anger, determination, encouragement. Loneliness is also problems which affects everyone, but when it strikes it can be the worst problem imaginable. No matter how strong or independent you are, loneliness can set in and ruin your trip.
So travel is the best teacher in this world but you need to face problem to overcome it.
9. Is it make your relationship strong?
I already inform that travel is always takes you out of your comfort zone. This can lead to stress and
frustration. If you're traveling with a partner this can be magnified. It doesn't matter if it's with your girlfriend, boyfriend, best friend or family
member, disagreements happen. When you're living in each other in side by side for 24/7, there are more opportunities for these disagreements to
happen.
Some time you really want to do something or go somewhere and the other doesn't, so talk about it. The breakdown of most relationships occurs when there's a
lack of communication. Relationship will slowly broke with problem or with plan, sometime problem is like getting lost, weather, crowd, delay in flight, so on,.
My advice for traveling with a partner is to be honest and to compromise, but don't compromise your happiness. Understand about each other problem
That concludes with Traveling is make your life better, but you need to plan for your trip or pack for your trip. Some point need check before travel like check your flight time, your ticket, return ticket, read about the place, know about the weather, pack some basic medicines and essential material, try to know or write it down all your passwords and your friend mobile number, you visit place(it will help in case you loss your mobile phone), unexpected charges or change in plans ( make emergencies money with you). Then your traveling will be good.
