The Reason Why I Love Traveling

Hi, guys, I want to describe about my hobby. But before that, let me introduce myself. So, my name is Rully Indra Laelaningrum, and I was born in Semarang on 2 February 1996. Yeah, I reached 19 years old, but still like a kid. Many people thought that I am a student of junior high school. But in reality, you know that I’ve entered the 3rd semester in this lecture. But I love that, because my face looks like a cute little girl. Hahaha.

So, let’s talking about hobby. In my opinion, hobby is something that is preffered by someone in free time, to calm the mind. And my hobby is traveling. It is my hobby since childhood. I used to really like traveling and challenges. Don’t want to sit at home, and always wanted to get out of my comfort zone. I was most excited when invited by my parents to go to the zoo, or a vacation to Grandpa’s house in the village.

And finally when I grow up, I did my first trip without my parents but only with my best friend. It happened at the end of December 2012. We went to Parang Tritis beach by bus and stayed one night there. Both of us are very excited about our craziest trip.

Hhh, oke. Just forget it. Now, I want to explain you why I love traveling so much. So, traveling as a cliche could be just seen as activities aimed at having fun. Basically this assumption could end up completely or it could be the reverse, depending on the way we live traveling itself.

Is when we travel, we are just trying to find pleasure sheer or just allow ourselves to experience surprises are unconsciously make us a lot to learn?

Traveling gives us the opportunity to disconnect from our regular life. You get to forget your problems/issues for a few weeks, it can also help you figure things out that you would not have understood without the distance traveling can give you. We all have crazy schedules and a family to take care of, going away alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important these people for you. Like the saying says: we never know what we have until we lose it.

Another great benefit is the relaxation you get to do. It’s nice to live life to its fullest and enjoy a stress free time with yourself. Going on vacation lets us recharge our “batteries” by disconnecting us from our regular life. When we come back we feel invigorated and we are happy to be back in our day to day routine. It’s a very good stress remover that has a lot more to give than most people are willing to accept.

Traveling increases our knowledge and widens our perspective. To view new customs, different ways of living is fantastic for the mind. It gives us a new perspective about life and especially our life, it can help us change some of our habits or even create new ones. Discovering different values and ways to get by in life is really interesting. You also need to visit exotic new places and discover what this wonderful world has to offer.

That's why you should travel while you're young. Because traveling is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.
