Besides my health, I haven’t found anything that brings me more value and happiness than travel. No designer bag, car or pair of shoes fulfills me more than travel.
I hadn’t noticed the benefits of travel until I started to travel frequently. There is so much to gain from new environments, cultures and ways of life.
After I started traveling regularly, I became more empathetic and kind. I began to challenge myself more, push myself further. After all, when you’re able to successfully navigate a foreign city and get around Europe alone, starting a business seems a lot less intimidating.
Here are a few reasons why you should travel more:
Travel sparks creativity: Breaking up routines is essential for maintaining constant creativity and inspiration. Tasting new foods, meeting new people and being immersed in new environments always gets me out of ‘burn outs’ or stumps in creativity.
Travel helps increase self-awareness: It’s so important for us to become self-aware. To understand our likes/dislikes, strengths/weaknesses. Once we are able to really get to know ourselves, life becomes more authentic and aligned.
Travel allows us to become more empathetic + grateful: When I travel I meet a ton of people. I get to know about their lives and what brought them to where they are. This alone has made me a more understanding and empathetic person which has been incredibly useful in my business and in life generally.
