Does international travel really “change” your life?

A beautiful destination……Photo by Alexander Schimmeck on Unsplash

Traveling has become increasingly prevalent in recent years. From expensive Switzerland trips glamorized by influencers. To budget Bali extravaganzas, All of which marketed by travel agencies as your next big ticket escapade.

Personally I’ve had the opportunity to visit 7 countries as listed below:

Italy

Switzerland

America (I live here but I’m gonna count it anyway)

Dubai

India

Germany

Greece

I loved visiting (and some times living) In every single one of these countries. But there was also a lot I learned and gained from these trips.

World Perspective

I think many of us are often sheltered greatly from world until we get out and travel. There’s something so powerful about leaving your safety net of home and venturing thousands of miles onto unknown soil.

To me traveling has connected me more with myself, than anything ever has before. The act of relying on yourself, socializing with new types of people, and learning about other humans feels so primal and grounding.

You also learn about the less beautiful sides of countries, the real time effect that poverty, displacement, and other global issues can have on groups of people. And as a result become a more empathetic and learned human.

Culture

I think one of the most rewarding aspects of traveling is the exposure to new cultures and ideas. Its such a warm feeling to be embraced in the local culture, from the food to day-to-day shenanigans that make you slow down and reflect a little on how we are all just little people in a endless universe.

Plus, being exposed to new things opens your mind to ways you can improve your life back home. And ultimately how to live a more conscious moral life.

Survival skills

One of the first lessons of traveling solo is you need to be extremely street smart. Often we may understand what living safely is like in our own country, but can be extremely out of touch globally. Traveling has taught me to retrace my steps, stay calm in stressful situations, and how to plan, prepare, and provide effectively.

Personal experiences in each country
