Reflections: Why Travel?

How traveling can be good for you.

Why travel? A question that I have heard many people ask. Traveling

can be a good experience for you. There is a lot that you can learn by

going to different places. It is interesting to see how the land, people,

animals, architect etc… are the same and how they are different. It is

also good for the kids to get to travel to different places. It is a very

good learning experience for them. And it is also something that can

help them with their projects and reports in school. Many times my

kids had things to come up in school, where they used what they

learned on their trips with projects and reports. Families, who take

their kids on trips, are giving their kids good memories to have in the

future.

Keeping a travel journal, taking pictures or using the camcorder on

your trip is a good idea. In the future, when you read the journal,

look at the pictures or the camcorder stuff, you will be very glad that

you did. It will be interesting to read those journals, look at the

pictures of your trip or watch a video tape of it. Who knows, you

might get a funny picture or something on the video that will really

make you laugh. A tip for you, get creative with your camera

or camcorder. You might be surprised at how good it will turn

out. If you can not afford to go on real long trips, because of the

gas prices, money etc… just take a short trip. Whether it is a long

trip or a short trip, it is good to get out to a different place. Even

if all you can afford to do is go for a long walk, it is good for you.

From day to day most of us go through the same routine pretty much.

So it is good to get out of that routine and go some where.

If you have been going through a lot of battles, traveling could be

what you need to give yourself a break from all your battles. When you

come back to those battles, you will feel better and will be able to

handle any battles that come your way. Traveling can be like a big

relief from things. It can also be good for the ones who have just not

been feeling too good. When you get out, see the pretty scenery, laugh

and have fun it can be healing to you. They say that laughter is like

medicine.

For you who love to watch action and adventure type of movies,

traveling can be a big adventure. Adventures that will be fun,

interesting, relaxing and a good learning experience. Whether it is

going camping in the mountains, going to an amusement park, a zoo,

to the beach, an old historical town, to a big city, etc… it is an adventure

that is fun and interesting. A person never knows what kind of an

adventure that they might get into when they travel.

Something else that is a fun thing to do when you travel. Take

someone or a kid who does not get to travel and watch their face

light up with joy. You will get such a blessing when you see that

happy face. Plus you will be giving someone else an adventure

and happy memories. Where maybe they never would have not

got to have, if you would have not taken them with you. Remember

that traveling can be an adventure and interesting. So try it out,

you will be glad that you did!

Do you think that travel only works if you don’t treat it like a holiday? Is there a difference between the two?
