10 Reasons To Travel Young
Today we will go over 10 Reasons To Travel Young. Since I’ve done this and have been travelling for many years myself in a lot of continents including Europe, Asia, America and South America I think it’s about time I talk about the reasons of why I did it young.
I started travelling around the world at the age of 15, I still remember this vivide memory going across the Atlantic to the Carribean in a country called Trinidad and Tobago. It was a very cool experience and I will never forget it. Living in Europe at the time (currently reside in the US) it was a very cool exotic change. However in this article I want to talk to you a bit more of the reasons why I think if you are considering of traveling young is worth it, so lets dive right into it.
Should You Travel Young
There are so many benefits to traveling young, but lets go over a very quick summary before we get into more details.
- For one, you get to see the world while you’re still young and have the energy to really enjoy it.
- You can also learn so much about different cultures and people while you’re traveling.
- It’s a great way to broaden your horizons and learn more about yourself.
- Additionally, traveling can be a great way to meet new friends and have new experiences.
All in all, traveling young is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Today I simply want to tell you some of the highlights that I think are good and will benefit you from travelling at a young age alone.
Its A Thrilling Experience
There’s something about travelling that’s unlike any other experience. Maybe it’s the feeling of complete freedom as you’re falling through the air. Or maybe it’s the exhilaration of knowing you’re doing something that most people would be very hesitant to do. Whatever the reason, travelling at a young age is an experience you’ll never forget.
- It’s unpredictable you will see things you never expected
- You will experience cousins you never had before
- You will have a lifetime of pictorial memories to remember
- You may find yourself in uncomfortable situations that will break your common thinking (this is a good thing)
But all those may rise your adrenaline there’s other reasons milder of why you may want to do this.
You Will Learn A Lot About Yourself
There’s no better way to learn about yourself and the world around you than by traveling. When you travel, you’re exposed to new cultures, new people, and new experiences. You learn about different customs and beliefs, and you get to see how other people live. Traveling can be challenging at times, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. It’s a great way to broaden your horizons and gain a new perspective on life.
More importantly I think you get a lot of lone time especially if you are a solo traveller and see how you react to certain things. From your reaction you an tell if this is something for you or if it’s something not for you. Furthermore you are also challenging yourself all the time which means you will find a lot of your limits and what you are comfortable with doing.
Explore Places And Do Things You Are Passionate About
There’s no better time to travel than when you’re young. You’re free from the responsibilities of work and family, so you can explore the world without worrying about anyone else. This is the perfect time to find out what you’re really passionate about. Maybe you’ll fall in love with a new culture, or learn something completely unexpected. Either way, you’ll come back from your travels with a new perspective on life. Hey you may end up falling in love with some places and moving there which may change your life forever!
Meeting New People
One of the best parts of traveling young is meeting new people from all over the world. It’s a great way to learn about new cultures and make new friends. I’ve met people from all over the world while traveling and it’s always been a great experience. I’m always amazed at how different people are from each other, yet we can still find common ground and become friends.
I know a lot of my friends that actually met their other half while travelling and I think this could be life changing. Also you broaden your network globally which could benefit you later in life in terms of business or even getting ahead of the curve in production and other things.
You Will See Amazing Sights
There’s something special about traveling when you’re young. You’re able to see and do things that you would have never been able to otherwise visit until later in life. For example, you can backpack through Europe and see all of the amazing sights without having to worry about work or family obligations. You can also take advantage of opportunities to volunteer or work abroad to really immerse yourself in new cultures. And of course, you’ll always have memories of your youth to look back on fondly. So if you have the chance to travel while you’re young, definitely take it!
Don’t Let Money Limit You
There’s no need to wait until you’re retired and have a nest egg saved up to travel – when you’re young is the best time to explore the world on a shoestring budget. With a bit of creativity and resourcefulness, you can see all sorts of amazing places without spending much money at all.
One great way to save money while traveling is to couchsurf – that is, stay for free with a local host who has an extra bed or couch in their home. This is a great way to meet new people and get insider tips on what to see and do in a new place. You can also look for work exchange opportunities where you trade your labor for free accommodation – for example, working on a farm in exchange for a place to stay and food to eat.
Another way to keep travel costs down is to eat like a local. Street food is often both delicious and cheap, and it’s a great way to experience the culture of a place. If you’re staying in a hostel or other shared accommodation, cooking your own meals can also be a great way to save money.
Of course, one of the best things about traveling when you’re young is that you often don’t have many responsibilities or ties holding you back. So take advantage of this time in your life and go explore – you won’t regret it!
There’s An Adventure In Every Corner
There are plenty of opportunities for adventure when you travel young. You can go where you want, when you want, and do what you want. You don’t have to worry about work or family obligations. You can just focus on having fun and experiencing new things.
One great way to have adventures when you travel young is to go off the beaten path. Instead of sticking to the well-trodden tourist traps, venture out into the less explored areas. This could mean hiking in remote mountains, visiting small villages, or even just taking a different route through the city. Whatever it is, going off the beaten path will give you a more authentic and unique experience.
Another way to have adventures when you travel young is to take risks. This could be anything from bungee jumping off a bridge to trying a new food that you’re not sure about. It’s all about pushing your boundaries and expanding your horizons. Taking risks can be scary, but it’s also exhilarating and often leads to the best stories.
So if you’re looking for adventure, don’t wait until you’re older. There are plenty of opportunities for adventure when you travel young. Get out there and start exploring!
You Will Return Refreshed And Changed
There’s no doubt about it, travel has a way of changing a person. It broadens your perspective, forces you to step out of your comfort zone, and teaches you new things about the world and yourself. You might not always come back from your travels feeling like a brand-new person, but it’s likely that you’ll return home with at least a few new perspectives and experiences under your belt. And who knows, maybe you’ll even find yourself changed in ways that you never expected. I still remember that trip I once had in Eastern Europe. When I saw poverty everywhere and people were still smiling and working that made me reconsider a lot of things in life.
You Will Know Better What You Want In Life
There’s no one answer to this question – everyone will have their own opinion on what the best way to learn more about yourself is. However, some ways to explore and learn more about who you are and what you want in life could include:
1. Taking some time for introspection – sit down with yourself and really think about what makes you happy, what your values and goals are, and what you want to achieve in life.
2. Keeping a journal – writing down your thoughts and feelings can be a great way to process them and understand yourself better.
3. Talking to close friends or family members – they know you better than anyone and can offer valuable insights into who you are and what you should be striving for in life.
4. Trying new things – step out of your comfort zone and try new experiences; you never know what you might discover about yourself along the way.
5. Paying attention to your dreams – our dreams can be symbolic of our subconscious desires and fears, so pay attention to what they might be trying to tell you.
6. Testing your personality – these can be fun ways to learn more about your strengths, weaknesses, and preferences.
7. Reading self-help books or articles – there’s a lot of wisdom to be found in these resources if you’re willing to look for it.
8. Exploring your spiritual side – Some cultures where travelling may just enable that and give you a different perspective, if you believe in a higher power, connecting with that can help you learn more about yourself and what you should be doing with your life.
9. Taking some time for yourself – Simply disconnect from things that take care of yourself. I think this is the most important part in travelling. You mute the noise of the world around you and go into a foreign environment. This sheds all the bias of your existing environment and will definitely provide a good change of scenery. Sometimes the best way to learn more about yourself is simply to spend some time alone, without distractions, and really think about who you are and what you want out of life.
