I’ve been requested a number of instances why I’m planning to journey around the globe; what’s an excellent cause to journey? Everybody has a unique cause to journey. A few of many, some have few. Some don’t have any cause in any respect. There’s no single cause why I ought to journey, so right here’s my greatest listing:
1. To get impressed.
As a graphic designer, I’m at all times considering creatively. As an individual, I’m at all times all in favour of understanding and seeing new issues. A number of individuals journey the world on a price range to “discover themselves” or acquire some increased fact about their being. Positive, that’d be good. However I’m actually simply wanting ahead to discovering inspiring tales, histories, cultures, and artwork.
Touring to new locations and seeing new issues can encourage concepts and affect you in methods you by no means even anticipate. Inspiration is available in many codecs. Whether or not it’s a brand new delicacies you expertise whereas touring, or the road artwork noticed in some again alley—there’s inspiration all over the place. And touring all over the place offers you a chance to find.
2. To show to myself that I can do it.
If I can do that, I can do something. Possibly it’s a harmful philosophy (and I don’t doubt that I can do it), however I’d like to return out of this round-the-world journey with the affirmation and information that something is feasible.
Touring isn’t at all times straightforward. And massive journeys which require a number of funding (time, cash, sources) are a possibility to show that something is feasible.
3. To see and expertise completely different cultures.
I’ve at all times been a reader. And generally a dreamer. Now I’d prefer to be a do-er.
Borders are a wierd thought. Tradition can and does unfold past borders, however touring and visiting these locations the place a cultural thought or image originates can supply up a possibility to see and expertise one thing new.
4. To eat.
Meals’s essential. A boy’s gotta eat, proper? I’ve at all times been a believer in experiencing the tradition of a spot by way of its meals. That’s why supermarkets and grocery shops are a few of the most fascinating locations to go to when in a brand new metropolis or nation.
A lot of tradition is predicated on delicacies—and consuming new meals and attempting meals you by no means knew even existed is such a singular and particular strategy to journey the world. And in these instances when it’s not doable to journey (like in the course of the pandemic), meals typically serves as a placeholder for a visit—providing a possibility to expertise someplace new by way of its meals.
5. To satisfy new and fascinating individuals.
One thing I’ve found out just lately is the worth of speaking to strangers. Everybody’s acquired a narrative and who’s to say it’s one not price listening to? It’s additionally a good way to satisfy like-minded people equivalent to all the opposite journey writers & journey bloggers on the market on their very own huge journeys.
