Travelling is a rush of adrenaline... It is exploring and discovering the unknown.
Travelling is an experience to create new memories, more than earthly possessions can ever provide.
So what's my top 5 reasons to travel?
1. Escape and Relaxation.
We seek escape and relaxation to de-stress from daily routines in a world where everything is fast-paced. Temporary solace from the pressures caused by external environmental factors is a must in order to get back to full productivity.
2. Over All Health and Leisure
Our well being is important. Vacations and leisure activities help boost a person's mood, physical and even mental health. A Psychologist shares how travelling boosts mental health, broadening individual's perspective, increasing happiness and creativity.

3. Social Interaction
We discover new things through interpersonal interactions. Have you ever tried solo travelling? I started more than five years ago in several local destinations in the country and more recently within Southeast Asia, relatively new but it has been a humbling and enlightening experience. When we interact with local people, we see how different lifestyles are and become thankful for all our blessings. I have learned to appreciate our deeply rooted traditions and uniqueness of our heritage. The simple task of exploring, getting directions, negotiating best prices also improve effective communication skills.
4. Cross Cultural Experience
We encounter other fellow travellers from different parts of the world.
Travelling gives us an unparalleled first hand experience of knowing about history, culture, outlook in so many facets of life.
5. Education and Personal Development
Experience, as they say, is the best teacher. And travelling lets one explore with all our senses, Travelling broadens the mind and develops a better understanding of the world.
