They say traveling and exploring gives us room to grow, boosts your confidence, gives us courage, and gives us that validation we need to go out and do hard things. Yes, its true. But do we really travel? No, we fly, use a luxury car or a sports bike. We take snaps and post it on social media. The first thing we think about when it comes to travel is "Sophistication". Getting a ride, wearing a headphone, enjoying a movie and reaching our destination. This has been the definition of traveling for a very long time.
The room to grow, boosts your confidence/courage is shared between the destination and the way we travel. Traveling hasn't been "traveling" for VERY long time.
When a trip you take pursue comfort and convenience i.e., prioritize comfort, convenience, and relaxation, often choosing upscale accommodations, fine dining, and personalized services.
More than the experience ie., adventure over luxury amenities, often seeking to connect with local cultures and environments.
You get only 50% (that too depends upon ur destination) benifit of traveling.
Remember that for people living in tier 1 cities, pursuing comfort, convince and relaxation can be brought at your door steps. But the wholesome experience to connect with local culture and environment can be only brought by the way we travel. Next time, travel via country roads instead of high roads ✨✨
