What you have learned from travel

by Victoria

LIFE IS FULL OF LEARNING.

Traveling abroad to new and exotic destinations can bring you relaxation, rest, and refreshment. However, it can do more. It can also be a great source of insight and an educational tool that teaches you much about life.

Follow along with us and see what unforgettable lessons you learn when traveling by experiencing new cultures, new ideas, and new destinations.

Friends can be made anywhere

When you stay in an All Inclusive resort in another country, you have countless opportunities to socialize, connect and meet new people.  Whether you become friendly with the staff or end up making friends through an informal conversation at the bar or during some other activity, you will begin to realize that friends are not just local. 

Indeed, anyone anywhere can become your friend and by extending yourself in this way socially you become more accepting and understanding of people from other places. 

Other cultures are amazing

Wherever we come from it is impossible to accurately state that our culture is the best in every sense. Our world has so much variety and each culture brings its own beauty to a banquet of diversity and you get to experience them all one at a time.

You also gain cultural awareness and understanding which can make you a better person and make you much better at working with people from other cultures.

Nature deserves to be protected

When you go on vacation and start to really take the time to immerse yourself in the beauty and natural charms of a destination, you start to realize how incredible it all is and how important it is to preserve it.

This appreciation you gain for nature can convert into action and you may end up saying no to plastic or taking other appropriate measures in your day to day life. 

There is a lot you have yet to experience

We can easily get caught up in our own little bubble of what we think is normal. However, what we have experienced and what we are used to is just a tiny percentage of what this incredible world has to offer us. 

Discovering a new destination can open up our minds to a world of possibilities and teach us that we really do have a lot to learn and even if we feel that we are well traveled or have a lot of life experience, we will never know it all. 

Solutions can be found from a fresh perspective

Either from our culture, where we grew up, or how our parents raised us, we can grow accustomed to a very fixed way of thinking. We start to see things a set way and are less willing to try things another way because that is not how we are used to seeing things done. 

Thankfully, when we travel we start to see that not everyone does things the same way and that their way of doing things is not wrong, it is just different. Between this fresh outlook and the ability to examine our problems from afar when we are on vacation, it can provide us with clarity and aid our problem solving abilities.
