Travel Is Freedom, A Love Away From Home

Travel is more of a desire to know oneself rather than to see a place. Travel is not done to discover the outside world, but to get to know our inner world better, to discover ourselves.

What Is It Like To Travel?

“What is the most beautiful feeling in the world?” If you ask; I have no other answer than to travel, see, travel, travel the world, fly like a bird to different countries, taste new cultures, people, societies and foods.

Knowing that life is so beautiful, breathing is so valuable, and knowing that something may be missing in our lives, why don't we as a nation travel a lot? However, we Turks are a nation that internalizes this phenomenon to our bones. We are a nation whose ancestors did not descend from horseback.

Since I am a person who loves to travel and travel, people around me are constantly asking, "How can you travel so much?" or “How do you find so much time?” I am facing similar questions. Finally, “How much did this trip cost?” similar questions.

I explain such questions to the problems that these things are easy, that traveling is a cheap and even mundane activity. There are many people who wish they could do it. However, they do not dare to start somewhere, or they often postpone their dreams and the journey to the places they want to see.

I have to tell you this. Traveling, like everything else, is a job of passion. I think anyone can do anything once they have passion. There is time and money too. As long as we want to do it, let's take action.

I try to encourage my friends around me to travel. I want to do the same thing by typing now. So, maybe you, my friends and friends who read me, will fall into the love of traveling, which is one of my biggest excitements. Maybe we'll meet on the road, travel together, who knows?

What is Travel?

Why does a person want to leave his home for a short time and go to other lands out of the blue? Why does he want to hit the road and look for new excitements when he has an established order and a regular life? Let me tell you, my friends: In a word, the urge to "curiosity". Curiosity to learn, curiosity to read and research, curiosity to discover oneself and the world.

Travel is more of a desire to know oneself rather than to see a place. Travel is not done to discover the outside world, but to get to know our inner world better, to discover ourselves.

Traveling should not be confused with taking a vacation, which I told you about earlier. In today's conditions, travel is not a luxury, it is a necessity. Well, maybe you're thinking: "Do you know about the latest gas price hikes?" Although this situation is annoying, everything will find its balance in time, let's hope the economy finds itself.

A normal person travels to be reborn. They make traveling in our country seem like a luxury. However, travel allows us to look at life from a completely different perspective. It helps us to feel better about life and experiences.

Benefits of Travel:

Traveling, traveling illuminates our tiny world in this universe. It shows people that there is not only Turkey and Turks in our world, not only Islam and Islam, but also other nations and religions. It gives you the opportunity to make your dreams come true. When you see the places you have looked at photos of thousands of times live, it surprises you and even makes you cry. Traveling improves people. They didn't say for nothing, "who travels a lot or reads a lot?" Indeed, traveling increases one's language, vision, perspective on life and events, general culture, manners and awareness of life. It shows people that their dreams are bigger than the world.

Adventure is part of travel. Travel is open to adventures, it makes people chase adventures. It teaches you what it means to be excited. It shows the world. It does not necessarily go far, but allows us to see the beauties of nature in the cities around us. Travel makes us discover ourselves. It is possible to spare the time that we cannot spare for ourselves during the daily hustle and bustle.

For example, how many hours a day do you talk to yourself? For most of you, there probably isn't even an opportunity left from work? What we will actually see while traveling is to realize ourselves. Taking time for ourselves means traveling in our inner world along the way. It opens our horizons. We see how ignorant we are and how much information there is to learn. Above all, travel teaches respect. It teaches people to respect nature and the world.

It teaches us to be positive and laugh. Travel allows us to make new friends and establish new friendships. Sometimes it feels like getting to know your fellow traveler, and sometimes meeting people from different countries. It helps us be open to innovation. It teaches you to be curious about everything new and never shy away from innovations. It keeps people away from being prejudiced. It teaches to be silent, to speak by thinking, not to speak without knowing. We look, taste, surprise and then decide.

Now think about it this way: Think about the last time you laughed out loud and had fun for hours, to your heart's content!

After traveling, do you find yourself, relaxed, rested, and return home with a smile on your face? If it does, that's normal. Because this emotion refers to ordinary things such as laughing, crying, eating, being sad, which are inherent in all of us. So even if you've never traveled, after a little sightseeing, you're unlikely to be able to stop traveling. It will be as if a virus has entered your body. You will always want to go somewhere, you will crave it.

Conclusion:

Maybe you can have a good job. I'm retired. I travel, I continue my travels. I'm making new travel plans. I love to travel. I don't have a foreign language, so neither can you. You may also be afraid of traveling alone and alone. Your hesitation is normal. You can say that I don't have enough money to spare for travel. These things may seem like they are going to cost you a lot. If there is a desire in you, none of these will be a problem, the things that seem to be a problem in your mind will disappear with your travels. As long as you dare to start from somewhere, try it!

But we also need to know the difference: Traveling and going on vacation are very different things. While travelers seek adventure, those who go on vacation usually go to stay in the same place and relax. There is no action on vacation. Travel means action. If you are after traveling, seeing, learning and improving yourself as much as possible, rather than taking a vacation, then go after your dreams. Once you have the intention, everything will be much easier than you think.

I invite you to travel to discover how small your world is and how big your dreams are. I assure you, you won't regret it.
