Why do I enjoy traveling?

Life is turbulent, but always promising.

Hello heroes of the sun,

Have you ever asked yourself why you like to travel or why you like to stay in your home country? Today I would like to give you a personal insight into why traveling means so much to me and how it has broadened my horizons incredibly.

Especially during the pandemic I realized again how lucky I was during the last years. I was allowed to travel the world and had the freedom to decide where I wanted to be. In many countries, many people don't have the opportunity to travel to different countries. That's why I really appreciate this freedom and of course I don't want to miss it.

Why is traveling important to me?

Traveling gives me the feeling of freedom and I feel that I am alive. Every fiber of my body is curious & inquisitive and I always want to learn new things about the world. From people, cultures and of course food diversity ;)

Through these inspirations I want to find out what is important to me in life and what values I want to have. I think everyone should find out for themselves what is important to him and not just adapt the things of parents, etc.. However, everyone must decide this for themselves, because this process is anything but easy. It always costs strength and courage to leave aside the known values and familiar traditions and to plunge into a new adventure full of uncertainty, many foreign people and values.

But it is this change of perspective that helps me to look at my previous values and habits objectively. What do I like, what do I dislike, and what combination is right for me?

What I've learned so far?

I have learned that every experience brings me further and I will never stop learning. It is a constant process that makes me more and more a person who knows how he wants to live or how not. These experiences have also helped my self-confidence and therefore my self-love. They have shown me that it is important to focus on yourself and to pay attention. Looking at others can bring you further in life, but it can also lead to you only comparing and feeling bad. Therefore, I can only say from my own point of view that it is important to focus on yourself and your instincts and be grateful for what you have.

Every country has its advantages and of course disadvantages. If someone asks me which is the perfect country for me, I would answer: a mixture of a thousand different puzzles of different countries.

Above all, I know that you can't force things. Everything has its time and that's a good thing.

Experiences are the lamps on our path through life.

What else would I like to see?

I am so happy when I can discover new cultures and places again. This time gives me so much inspiration and peace so that I can hear my inner voice telling me what the next steps are.

Especially the cultures and traditions that are opposite to my country of origin are the most formative places for me, because they bring out something in me again in a very special way that I was not aware of before.
