They say, “traveling is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.”
Cliché and overused —yes, that statement is. However, you cannot deny the things that traveling do which make you a person better than who you were before you left.
For one, you make memories that you would have never experienced had you not traveled.
Remember the time you had your very first airplane ride? You were waiting for the airplane’s wings to touch the clouds. The land and the sea were in aerial view and it was your first time seeing it with your own eyes. No matter how many times you were given the chance to ride the plane, nothing will be more interesting than that first time.
When you fell in love with a place so green and so serene—you knew you were living in the moment, taking in your surroundings, and finally finding the peace you always dreamt of. It then became a feeling you would never trade for… and you married the fact that you would never let go of it; you swore that every single time you are unhappy or disturbed, you will just relive the feeling.
These experiences make you more of a person. More than the person you were who never experienced the elation regarding something so magical.
Second, when you travel far and wide, the earth becomes your home. You take a bath, not within the corners of your bathroom, but in the sea. Who needs a plate when you can eat on a banana leaf using your bare hands? Seated on the sand, you witness how the sun rises, coloring yellow and orange a certain part of the sky until the light envelopes the sea and the earth—this is something the television, no matter how flat and wide the screen is, cannot show you. All these—they are better than owning a mansion.
Surprisingly, traveling has something that nothing can ever make you realize. It is the fact that no matter how buried you are with a peaceful life in a province, or how engulfed you are with the adventure of climbing that mountain… you will always want to come home.
You know you are more equipped with greater knowledge now to take on reality again. You see your old life and the people in it, and you realize your pending dreams—you see them in a different light now. You come to appreciate your family and friends more; you are more eager to pursue what you always wanted: writing, cooking, succeeding; and you thank traveling for that.
With that, are you not a wealthier person than who you were before?
