Travel opens your eyes
I have been travelling for some time now, and have come across many great adventures and interesting places. The one thing that I have begun to notice more and more, is how free I feel from the constraints of ‘the daily grind'that so many experience in Britain these days.
I have obviously got a lot of decisions to make and problems to solve, and I don’t know where I will be sleeping next week or eating tonight. But these kinds of stresses seem a lot less to worry about than those of the modern work life. I definitely won’t be seeking industrial compensation for work related illnesses!
It has made me really consider what I want to do with my life when I finish on my travelling adventure. Is it going to make me happy to sit in an office in front of a computer all day, or working 9 - 5 week after week? Maybe not.
I am not saying that some people cannot be happy doing so, as many are quite content with having this type of job, and it does bring with it a great deal of security. But all this travelling has made me appreciate the joy of uncertainty and change. What is it they say - A change is as good as a rest!
I think that travel definitely opens the mind, and it has made me realise what might make me happy in life. This is not to say it is the same for everybody, as one good friend that I have met along the way has enjoyed her time away from home, but looks forward to getting back into her steady routine when she gets home next month.
Anyway, I digress. all I wanted to say was that being away from the day to day life that we all get drawn into really does let you appreciate what you like and dislike about it, and this can give you the freedom to go back home and change your lifestyle if you are not happy with it or be thankful for what you have if you are!
