Travelling has its own unique true powers. It shapes your perspective, it broadens your vision, kind of entering a new you. Travelling is like embarking on a journey, not just to a new place, but into a richer, more profound version of yourself.
Think of the preparation for a trip, one that you envision with a great deal. This is where the emotional investment begins, creating a wellspring of expectation that will fuel your experience. This phase is crucial; it’s the deliberate cultivation of excitement, the conscious decision to embrace the unknown. You’re not just packing a suitcase, you’re also packing curiosity, openness, and willingness to embrace what it comes. It is as if, even before your foot touches foreign soil, you are already open and receptive to the new.
Travel becomes part who you are which is the ultimate reward.
As you are probably heading to a new place, you are alert and awaken to be surprised. You surrender to the unknown yet you are present, mindful, soaking everything in like a sponge. You suddenly find yourself out of the comfort zone, eat the strange foods, talk to the locals, get lost in the alleyways. These seemingly fleeting moments, these “common experiences”, will sometimes shape your future self. Meeting new countries or cultures, it can be also confusing at times, however, you are expanding your inner self and your understanding of the world. The impact of the journey might not be immediate, it is sometimes imperceptible or unconscious. During the time of travelling you are not fully aware of what it means and the impact that only time will provide.
“The Legacy of Travelling” truly unfolds even long after the trip itself. Once you back on your day to day routine is when all the great memories and experiences come to life, beginning to understand the true impact of such an amazing trip. Suddenly, you find yourself referencing a forgotten conversation, a hidden architectural detail, or a taste that unexpectedly local food you have tried. That is precisely the moment you realise the trip was not just a vacation, it was a profound education, updating your perspective of the world. Travelling shapes your being, taking informing decisions shaping your level of consciousness, and colouring your understanding of humanity.
