Why Travel the World? It's One of Many Reasons why WE are Here!!

in #travel6 years ago (edited)

Traveling the world is something I have always wanted my life to revolve around. I have been fortunate enough to do some traveling in the first 22 years of my life, but there are so many places I have yet to venture.

I have been anywhere from immense tropic islands such as Jamaica and the Cyclades to vastly industrialized and technologically innovative regions which boast authentic culture and traditional flavor like Japan. There are so many places in this world that offer new experiences to those who wish to seek and take on its wondrous opportunities.

Traveling, though, is often times sought as a luxury because you have to have the time, and not to mention, the money. Without these two important components, you might as well forget about it.

Today is really a new age, however, and people are beginning to balance the work/travel life on-the-go using social media to their full advantage. The opportunities that lie before your very fingertips are ever-so-great, yet it seems only a handful of people are taking advantage of this. In my eyes, this would be the ideal life; working not from home or the office, but traveling and working on-the-go at the expense of no one, but yourself.

For me, traveling around the world is something that is extremely important. I believe we were put on this Earth for many reasons, of course, but we must take the time we have been gracefully granted to explore all the hidden wonders that God, Mother Nature, and those that came before us have created.

Life is much too short not to connect with other human beings and their unique cultures, traditions, and customs which you may not normally be accustomed to. By doing so, it will allow you to find, experience, and resonate with any undiscovered areas that may be present in your life. Exploring new places and experiencing new cultures far different than your own will allow you to learn and grow forward as an individual seeking to make positive impacts on this Earth.

Our planet is so immense and we don't even know the majority of what is out there. To illustrate this point further, the ocean covers roughly 70% of the Earth's surface, yet 95% of it remains unexplored.

Let that sink in for a second. Can you guys imagine what is out there that we don't even know exists?

It is truly mind blowing to me, but that is one reason why we are here today- to explore and discover the unknowns of our very own celestial body.

We, too, can uncover aspects of our world like our ancient ancestors did, continuing to lay the foundation for generations to come. Life is just such a glorious phenomenon and we often times take things for granted.

We have to remember and realize that life is not something that is guaranteed. We have this preconceived notion that there will be tomorrow or a next five minutes, yet there is simply no evidence to prove this.

Live every moment with passion, even if it is a painful one. Use these moments, even hardships and obstacles, as an opportunity to learn and grow upward.

Live life to the fullest, we never know when it may end ~ CARPE DIEM ~

Indeed, life is short and we are not guaranteed tomorrow or the next moment.
Some lovely and breathtaking scenic views.

Always happens that when you think you have seen it all, you consider all the things that only fee have seen and how much potential is out there!

Absolutely! And every place boasts drastic differences, even places that appear the same. For instance, the Greek islands, although just a 20-30 min. boat ride to the neighboring island, are far different from each other. The differences may be small, but depending on a tourists attention to minute detail, they will begin to surface through the seamless cracks and crevices
