Why everyone should travel once in a while

Don’t you feel like sitting on your couch has been the most exciting adventurous thing you have done these past few months? Just saying, but something is wrong here mate. Traveling should be an essential point of our life, like eating, drinking or sleeping. You probably should do something spontaneous, like book a plane ticket right now and go see the wonders of the world. There are a lot of reasons why someone should travel, but here are the most impressive ones.

1. You make new friends
   Who doesn’t like some new foreign friends? Like a beautiful latino girl for example, or a romantic Italian guy. Who knows, you’ll maybe even find your true love that you have searched for so long. But after a long day, you’ll probably end up with a bunch of people doing things you never imagined you would do. Learn to say yes more often, and you’ll find happiness in little things.
   

2. Leaving your comfort zone
   I can see you right now, covered in blankets and your phone almost falling on your face. Get off of your comfort zone right now. Facebook won’t go anywhere but the years will pass by, and you will be left with no memories. Do you really want that? Come on.
   

3. New skills
   Traveling will definitely make you an expert in many fields. Like how to survive in the jungle for example and how not to be eaten by gigantic snakes. Not really, but you will definitely end up learning a bunch of new stuff, like some Spanish words or how to go surfing and apparently you will become a traveling blog expert.
   

4. Become independent
   Think yourself somewhere really far away from home, alone. It is really dark and you have no Wi-Fi, and you have no idea how to say a word in the native language. It’s pretty scary, right? Moments like this make you realize how brave you are and what would you do if you find yourself in these situations. Challenge yourself and find out. Maybe you’re the strongest person you know, but you never had the chance to show yourself.
   

5. Experience new cultures
   There is something that college won't teach you. The cultures and the different special stories of each and every country. Maybe if your degree is based on world history, yes. However experiencing different cultures will make you see life from a new perspective. And you get to try all that fantastic food from all over the world. Each unique flavor that every country has to offer. Yay, you!
   

So think again if you want to spend your summer watching the whole seasons of a tv show for one night, or should you pack your backpack and experience new life adventures?
