Purpose and motivation

"The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." ~ Saint Augustine
Reasons for travelling include recreation, tourism or vacationing, research travel for the gathering of information, for holiday to visit people, volunteer travel for charity, migration to begin life somewhere else, religious pilgrimages and mission trips, business travel, trade, commuting, and other reasons, such as to obtain health care or fleeing war. Travel may occur by transport such as walking or bicycling, or with vehicles, such as public transport, automobiles, trains and airplanes. Motives to travel include pleasure, relaxation, discovery and exploration, getting to know other cultures and taking personal time for building interpersonal relationships. Travel may be local, regional, national (domestic) or international. In some countries, non-local internal travel may require an internal passport, while international travel typically requires a passport and visa. A trip may also be part of a round trip, which is a particular type of travel whereby a person moves from their usual residence to one or several locations and returns. (Source : Wikipedia )

What does travel mean to me? I know that the world is so vast and I am only a tiny bit in it. I wonder how people gather knowledge!! Some portion of our knowledge is from reading, some were taught and a large portion from our life experiences. Books often limit our knowledge to the perception of the author. There is no room for US in that!. Yet I do take reading books as a major source of knowledge as I see them as pointers for my thoughts! And teachings/speeches.. Gives me their view of the world yet it provides me food for my thoughts. So I do accept them as one of my sources of knowledge. Explore the world to explore new ways to think and form /reform our lives. I see travelling as an opportunity to improve myself. Some teaches me how should I be and some, how I should not be!!

I am a lover I love travelling because I love my world. I love nature and ppl in the world. I am often curious abt the world just because I see the world as a treasure of LOVE. I try to learn abt and enjoy different places, ppl, their culture, their history....

It often takes us to the a different world.. the world of emotions... Feel nostalgic.. Sometimes, feel as a part of the history.. part of the TIME.. makes me aware of my importance in this world too..

I love my life and anybody who love their life should try this awesome option to improve the quality of life!

Try it to believe it. One of the main points about travelling is to develop in us a feeling of solidarity, of that oneness without which no better world is possible. ~Ella Maillart
