Travelling

Travelling is challenging, tempers become frayed, you get frustrated, are uncomfortable at times, get bored waiting at airports and it’s tiring. If you want a rest don’t travel to new countries, sit on a beach and read a book. But why travelling is so worthwhile are the things you learn about yourself, the world you live in and an appreciation for people and different cultures. The wonderful buildings, monuments and scenery are great but it is this learning that makes travelling special. The things you remember as significant are not the Eiffel Tower, London Bridge or the Vatican but those moments you spend with the people you meet or with whom you are travelling. The special unplanned experiences. Those who do not have the opportunity to travel miss out on gaining an awareness of the world we live in, its complexity, and precious beauty. I feel very lucky to have been able to travel and look forward to the new learning ahead!
