How Travelling Affects Life and Personality?

 I am a travel addict. Being an author, a motivational speaker/coach and a travel blogger, now I get a chance to travel for work as well. Before this, I used to travel almost every month with my family because my dad was a travel lover. I have learned that travelling affects our lives and personalities is an amazing way. Travelling gives us an experience of a lifetime, we meet new people, new places, we eat different food, experience different culture and even get accustomed to the issues we face in such new places. Travelling can give a new perspective to your life, you learn through travelling and it can affect your life and personality.

Here are few facts how travelling affects life and changes personality:

We become more open minded

When you travel, you get to communicate with new people at new places, you understand their problems and try to adjust with whatever arrangement is made. You experience different culture and realize that each culture is unique and that one must accept it whole heartedly. There are times when you face some situation or problem and easily pass through it without much distress, if you had not travelled you wouldn’t have overcome it. This experience of travelling brings wisdom, maturity and tolerance in you.

We become more adventurous

Travelling will make you want to live in the present moment, it will help in driving away all your fears and worries and make you more flexible, strong, spontaneous, and adventurous to face challenges that once held you back.

We become more creative

When you travel and see new cultures, people and their way of living, you learn new creative and innovative ways to apply them in your personal life.

We become a better thinker

Travelling doesn’t mean that it will be easy and without any hurdle, travelling always comes with difficulties. You will become capable to understand the difficulties, accept and adapt to it, it makes you a better thinker and better decision maker.

We become more optimistic

Travelling is a good break from your monotonous life, some positivity is added to your personal as well as professional life after you come from a long trip. Travelling helps you to understand yourself better and make you more optimistic towards life.

Travelling gives new meaning to your life and you understand the true purpose of living. Life is not just work and family it has much more to it. Travelling helps you understand yourself better and also makes you empathetic towards others. Life doesn’t remain same after you come back from a long trip, it will change you to a better person and make you ready to take risks in life. So, try to travel much as you can!
