Why I like to Travel

1. I like to travel to try to become a new person and try to get away from everyday life and take a brake. When i travel i like to learn more about the world but most of all discover myself in a whole new way. I get a chance to compare my life. "We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next, to find ourselves." When traveling not only do you get rid of day to day life but you find new ways of living.

2. " The real voyage of discovery consists not on seeing new places, but in seeing with new eyes." I think what Iyer is trying to say is that when traveling, many people look at the place with the same perspective as if they are at home and that they should change their perspective to get a greater experience. When I travel I like to look at the new environment as if I am living there.

3. " What gives value to travel is fear." When traveling there are so many new things to do and if you don't try them you don't gain much from the trip. Fear is what keeps us from trying new things, when we lea overcome our fears we open up a whole new world.

            
4. I believe that travelers have a responsibility to share their knowledge and experience with all they visit and those they return to. I believe this because when you go somewhere you talk to the people on their life and tell them about yours, they then learn about your day to day life and you also have something to share when you return home. This way you spread your culture and absorb theirs.

5. " We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel in essence, to become young fools again- to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more." This is my favorite quote because when we go places, we don't know much about them or the way of life and we learn and it makes you feel refreshed and rejuvenated. It makes you feel more alive than ever.
