Wanderlust and Its Effects

The world is like a book and those who do not travel read only one page, St Augustine. As humans, we all certainly have that trait of getting exhausted similar routines and performing the same chores repeatedly. At some point we all feel a desire to bring variations and colours in our consistent and steady schedules. This can only be achieved by packing our bags, booking a flight and be all set to exploring the world outside. Travelling to the foreign universe brings a plethora of positive effects, most of them are mental, social and physical effects.

The foremost effect is the social influence on our personalities. Stepping abroad provides you an experience of meeting people with different natures. It might even develop into deep friendships and you therefore gain excellent communication skills. One gets to observe the undiscovered cultures, foods, fashion and lifestyles of people. As a result, you become more confident, dynamic and open-minded. Via travelling to different destinations, the horizon of our knowledge gets further widened. Maybe, a female solo-traveler who got new tips on European fashion while traveling would bring tremendous ideas to her own country related to clothing or even open her own closet. Apart from that, while on journey, not everything goes smooth and easy. You might face minor issues like tyre punctures, approach fraud drivers or get lost in a town. The former problems make you learn lifetime lessons. In fact, many young tourists might find it adventurous.

However, the second effect that is the mental influence should not be ignored too. At times, life throws certain obstacles on our paths that we become extremely stressed out, we certainly need personal space to take a deep breath. Our mind loses its track and needs a diversion to get out of challenging situations. The only way to relax our minds, have some me-time and gain peace is to travel around the world. Whether you’re a solo traveler or a family traveler, there are a hundreds of new places, interesting facts to know, animal safaris, breath-taking natural beauties, gigantic sky scrapers and never-ending entertainments to enjoy and discover. Hence, all your anxiety and depression gets cured. This is also an excellent way of spending time with your loved ones since fantastic memories are created and wonderful adventures are done. Every moment naturally turns sweet, fun and loaded with laughters. All these in turn reflect our mind and we forget all our worries and stressful days. We become happier, lively and realize true colors of the life. Lastly, we at times confront people whose hardships are nothing to our’s, and watching them convinces us to become more grateful.

Hopping onto the physical effects; we shouldn’t forget that travelling world wide also adds a health bonus to our bodies. The interesting fact is that many elderly people are medically advised to spend vacations in high, green and mountainous regions. The reason being it decreases risk of heart diseases and high blood pressure. Many people get concerned on gaining weight during holidays travel trips. You should keep in mind that our weight keeps on shifting up and down and thus consuming some extra food on temporary basis won’t majorly affect your body. You are bound to wake up early in the morning and leave your hotels for wanderlust. This actually your physical activity and sets up a very healthy routine.

Travelling is a hobby that provides us multiple skills, knowledge and capabilities. Sometime it even helps us discover our hidden talents that we never knew about. All in all, there are three chief effects that one gets via traveling and if your pocket money permits you plus you’re brave enough take full advantage of your time and explore all the wonders of the world because this precious life is given only once and if we do it right once is enough.
