If the age of information and technology has set a precedent for a better life, perhaps the single biggest beneficiary is the traveler. Technology and thirst for adventure have come together to make the times we live in the age of the intrepid traveler. You only have to check out the number of people seeking holidays in exotic locations, or the latest post on Instagram- and you’ll see it is a collage full of colorful adventures of people constantly traveling in different parts of the world. Travelling has soared to the number spot on everyone’s bucket list, and when you really think about it, why not? And now is a better time than any other in history to pack those bags and well, keep traveling. Here’s why.
Price fluctuations and competition in the airline and hospitality industries have seen a most amazing transformation, which in effect have made cheaper airfares a blessing for people wanting to travel- making that exotic holiday more affordable than ever before! Even in the recent past, traveling had to be budgeted for months if not years, but now, one can book a holiday in a number of countries, even on exceedingly tight budgets. Accommodation too has scaled from chain hotels to more options like independent hostels and home stays, with services like Airbnb making it hassle free and easy to book it well in advance.
Ever got bored of meeting the same old faces and having the same old conversations? Yearn for a change? Then head to the nearest place you have never been to! Nothing refreshes us more than indulging all our senses in something completely new- a new scent in the air, a strange accent in a pub, different flavors in the cuisine and of course, discovering a completely different way of life! Priceless memories are made of these. It’s a great way to make friends- everything about you is suddenly fascinating in a new country to people you have never met before and vice versa. The bonds we form by stepping out of our comfort zone help us grow as human beings and teach us to appreciate the diversity of people and their values and belief systems puts our own lives and struggles in perspective – all of which makes us far richer than any amount of money could ever hope to.
Unlike the proverbial frog in the well, traveling has created a new generation of well-travelled people who all share something in common- they relish the taste of something new which continuously feeds their curiosity about the world we live in. Whether you are a nature and wildlife enthusiast or a studious anthropology researcher, everyone can find a place on Earth that satisfies the deepest need we all have- to discover newer frontiers, to explore new places and to belong in a real sense to a tribe that is bigger than we can count- the tribe called humanity.
