Why Travel for Vacation?

---

You want to go on vacation?

When? Where? How? For How Long? And With Whom?

Travel requires Planning.

Ok, We're going to go on Vacation.

We need a means to get there, a place to stay there, food, things to do there, and shopping.

Everthing has a cost. Travel requires Budgetting.

What to pack? What to take with you?

These are all of the things that you have in your room.  This is your suitcase. Everything won't fit. 

Travel requires prioritizing what is important.

Life does not go according to plan, even when you are on vacation. Stuff happens. Travel exposes you to situations for you to cope with.

Travel teaches you that you are more capable than you thought.

When you travel, you learn about new cultures, meet new people, and see how they live through their eyes.  You see first hand the conditions under which some people live.

Travel teaches you to appreciate what you have.

You dreamed about your vacation. You planned for it. You budgetted for it. You waited for it. You packed for it. You went on your vacation. You made youur dream vacation a reality.

Travel teaches you that dreams do come true.

When you are in a foreign country, everybody is well, foreign, so any conversation of any kind from directions to being hospitable involves and includes communication with strangers.

Travel teaches you to socialize with anybody.

When you travel you see new places, meet new people, and have new experiences all of which you are able to relate in detail, and with passion because you lived them all yourself.

Travel turns you into the best storyteller.

Traveling to tourist destinations like Paris and Rome, Cairo and Istanbul, Tokyo and Bangkok create the opportunity for you take photos - photos which memories that will last a lifetime.

Travel teaches you to be a maker of memories.

Not everywhere operates under the same way as the United States and Canada. Have you ever heard of island time? The Caribbean operates on its own laid back time. Hurry up, and then wait.

Travel teaches you patience.

Travel exposes you to the lives of the people you meet, and when you learn of their hardships and adversities - it is sometimes enough to break your heart.

Travel teaches you to be generous - to give back.

When you travel, the only people you know are those who travelled with you, so you spend more time together. It is the family against the world.

Travel brings you closer to, and teaches you about your family.

Travel takes you to new and different places.

Travel creates the opportunity for you to do new  things, and to have new experiences.

Travel is exciting with its promise of newness.

Reading about something in a book, or seeing photos of it, is not the same as coming face to face with it.

Walking in the footsteps of history, touching its monuments makes history real, & come to life.

Laying-out on a beach chair, with your toes in the powdery-soft, white sand, sipping on a Caribbean cocktail, listening to the sound of the ocean as it laps at the shore. Relaxing isn't it?

Scientific fact: Travel reduces Stress. 

Travel allows you to fully immerse yourself in the moments of your life - sights, sounds, & feelings.

Focus on  your experiences, not those of others.

Comparison is the Thief of Joy.

It is shaping up to be a long, cold winter. It is a freezing -5 degrees Celsius outside, with a grey, overcast sky, and you are bundled up to go out.

Travel allows you to be in your swim suit, on the beach, in  the sun, in Punta Cana in 4 hours.

Swim-up pool, and the beach - open 24 hours.

All the gourmet food & local alcohol are yours.

Parties, Activities, Entertainment galore.

Everything is included at an all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana - especially the fun.
