One of the best and most fulfilling things that a person can do in their life is travel. We live in a world that is so vast and beautiful, with so much out there to see. It’s easy to get caught up in every day living and responsibilities such as working full time, raising kids, paying bills, being a student and or just chasing whatever dreams and goals we have. There can be so many priorities in the life of a busy person. One thing to never forget is the importance of expanding your horizons through travel so you can see and learn new things. As humans we’re intrigued by adventure, and our curiosity leads us to wonder about and discover new things. It’s great to take care of the home front and handle your business but challenge yourself to travel more and see more. I know that when we think of traveling we think of how expensive it can be (especially for a family) between flight tickets, baggage fees, hotel accommodations and the time that we’re taking off of work. There is a lot to think about that may somewhat discourage you, but there are also some experiences that you can’t put a monetary value on. Some people travel often for work or work for an airline or airport in some capacity. I started off by working as a reservation agent for an airline and was able to take free flights and that benefit was extended to my immediate family members too. I used to do crazy things like hop on a plane to go have lunch in Seattle or fly to New York to go shopping! One time me and my Co worker flew to Chicago to spend the day there! My traveling experience started that way but I just couldn’t get enough time off to go to all of the places that I wanted to. I still cherish the memories from the places that I used to go, and the experiences were great. I challenge you to enrich your life through traveling. It’s okay if you can only afford to go one place a year. Search for deals online, save up for it, Plan carefully and began your journey! Start within the U.S. if you have to (if thats more affordable) then work your way outside of the country. Go experience other cultures, Food ,nature, historical architecture, weather! Get out of your box and Create a travel bucket list! Doesn’t matter how quickly you check places off of your list just do the best you can, however you can. It will be totally worth it! You only have one life and this is just one of the ways to help you make the most of it!
