Why Wouldn't You Travel More When There Are So Many Wowessays Benefits of Traveling?!

1. Travel improves your health

From cutting stress to reducing your chances of developing heart disease, the health benefits of travel are enormous. You can sit in a chair all day at the workplace: taking a few walks for your journey is sure to improve your body. For some people, wandering abroad is also a cure for depression and anxiety. Of course, this is not a foolproof treatment, but it can help you feel better physically and psychologically.

Traveling more greatly affects your mental well-being, especially if you are not used to going outside your comfort zone. Trust me: Travel more and your doctor will be happy. Be sure to contact your doctor, they can recommend some medication to help you along your journey, especially if you are visiting areas of the world with potentially dangerous diseases.
2. Traveling Let's You Disconnect Your Daily Life

This is closely related to my previous point. We get so caught up in our daily lives that sometimes, just by sticking around, we can do more harm to ourselves
Better than Is your boss killing you? Kids are driving you crazy? Your parents are trying to get you to live the life they want? How long do you think you can handle this pressure before it explodes and everything falls apart?

Sometimes it is best to take a step back, take a deep breath and take that Tower Bridge Selfie. In all seriousness, traveling is not a bad option - the most natural way to feel that you miss someone or that you miss. The trick is to leave with little preparation to avoid making a mistake during your journey. Also, if you are flying, you start thinking about booking your tickets after a better time.
3. Traveling makes you smart

Make a habit of taking new words in a different language every time you travel and you will see an improvement in your brain abilities, as Dan Roitman wrote in the Huffington Post. If this is the case, start getting familiar with travel jargon.

More than "just" languages, travel helps you learn about yourself. You can run into challenging situations where you need to keep resources and think differently. I am sure you will develop a new set of skills, which you no doubt had within you.
4. Travel improves your understanding of other cultures

Why we travel can be different from one person to another, but people who travel always develop empathy and a deeper understanding of other cultures.

Being more understanding and tolerant of a culture that is different from our culture is part of being smarter, but I consider this to be the benefits of travel in itself. There is a quote from St. Augustine, which is "The world is a book and those who do not travel only read one page with essay writing service". You can think of it this way: If you read what's in the news or watch the news on TV and don't question it, you're missing a ton of information. You may think that it makes you smarter and more aware of the world, but it is the exact opposite: it tells your mind in a unique and biased perspective.

Sure, you probably feel comfortable where you are, but it's just a part of the world! If you are a student, take advantage of programs like Erasmus to get to know, experience and understand more people. Dare to visit the areas that you have doubts about. I bet you will change your mind and realize that everything is not so bad abroad.
