Traveling, how much does it cost?

Whenever we travel, we grow.

The places we visit offer opportunities and lessons that make us better persons. Their delicacies and cultures allow us to broaden our perspective; and eventually see the world in a whole new light. The locals and their stories—we learn so much from. Indeed, the places we travel to give us invaluable experiences.

How much did it take us to get entitled to these? The airfare? The hotel accommodation rates?

Actually, these amounts are no match compared to the things we gain. These do not even benefit directly the places we travel to and its communities; but, that is alright. No one is demanding that we pay a price. What we just have to do, and maybe the only thing we can do, is to be responsible travelers.

As tourists, we have to be responsible for the actions we make—as much as possible, giving a very low impact on the places that we visit.

There are countless ways on how we can be responsible travelers. For example, we can have reusable water containers that can last during our whole stay, so as not to add disposable bottles to their garbage everyday. Much easier is not littering. The list continues.

For one, we do this out of respect. Who takes care of the place? Who suffers when the place gets ruined? Not us, definitely. Therefore, who are we to contribute to the pollution, or worse, to destroy the wonderful tourist attraction?

If the place is so amazingly superb, do we not want our children to enjoy them? Let us not deprive the next generation of the unspoiled wonders we are seeing right now.

If we cannot leave a place a little better than it was before we came, let us at least leave it the way it wonderfully was. Nature do not a put a price on itself. All it wants is for us to be responsible.
