Millions and millions of square miles stretched like a fabric wrapped around a cosmic tennis ball. And where we stay for most of our lives is analogous to one single, microscopic, alien-green hair on it. Imagine the joy of exploring millions of other such places; places that are similar, but also a little different. Places that are so very different, but also a little similar. And that joy, my friends can be attained only if, like a fish suddenly introduced to a whole new world outside the sea, we too are plucked out of our familiar environment, and dropped into a zone that offers us not just new things to look at, but new people to meet, new experiences to enjoy, and new lessons to learn.\u00a0Travelling, in a nutshell, is simply and exactly that. And it is not just a hobby. \u2018Hobby\u2019 is too light and understated a word to describe something as all-encompassing as travelling. Travelling is a school. A school that doesn\u2019t just teach you the what, but also the how. It is the stuff of dreams, a way of life. But why? Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-1\">1. A wealth of knowledge<\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11655 size-full\" title=\"Travelling is knowledge\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Travel-is-like-knowledge.The-more-you-seethe-more-you-knowyou-havent-seen.-Mark-Hertsgaad.jpg\" alt=\"Travelling is knowledge\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Travelling gives you an amount of exposure that is rivaled by nothing else. When you go to a foreign country, you gather so much knowledge about the customs of that country and learn so much about their culture and heritage. You\u2019ll look at buildings and monuments previously unseen and unheard of. You\u2019ll learn about their history, their cuisine and much more. Every country, like a book, holds within itself a wealth of knowledge. And when you travel there, you get to be the reader.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-2\">2. You will surprise yourself<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11657 size-full\" title=\"Surprise yourself with Travelling\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/nature-person-red-woman-Custom.jpg\" alt=\"surprise yourself with Travelling\" width=\"600\" height=\"397\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re in the comfort of familiarity, only some parts of your psyche are active. You know what to expect, and you meet the same people in the same surroundings. But when you step out and travel the world, your mind will offer itself to you like a Pandora\u2019s Box. Different, surprising traits of your own character will come to the fore because those parts of yourself that were stuck in the rut of familiarity will suddenly be active. You will learn so much about yourself that you never knew to be true.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-3\">3. A booster shot to your energy<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11662 size-full\" title=\"travelling, Energy booster\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/12.jpg\" alt=\"travelling, Energy booster\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Your daily routine can be taxing. Everyone needs a break to re-energise and rejuvenate themselves. And isn\u2019t travelling the perfect opportunity to do exactly that? You\u2019ll be far away from office deadlines, work-related worries and the difficulties of life; sipping cocktails on a beach with nary a worrying thought in your chilled out head.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-4\">4. The stranger can be your friend<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11666 size-full\" title=\"Friends at sunset, Travelling\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/9435277787_5b8ea12387_b-Custom.jpg\" alt=\"Friends at sunset, Travelling\" width=\"600\" height=\"306\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I mean, honestly, who talks to strangers on their daily commute to work? A \u2018hi\u2019 here, a \u2018hello\u2019 there and asking which side the platform will be on does not constitute as a conversation. But when you\u2019re exploring new places, the stranger can be your friend. A meaningful, philosophical discussion with a complete stranger can be so relaxing and enjoyable. There is every chance that stranger might turn out to be a close friend, or in a rare but wholly possible scenario, a life partner.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Must Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/bollywood-locations-in-india\/\">30 Famous Indian Locations Where Bollywood Movies are Shot Frequently<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"section-5\">5.

There are bound to be some hiccups when you travel to an unknown place. In dutiful accordance with one Mr Murphy, you might run out of cash, your bus may break down, or you can simply be lost. And you\u2019ll then have to think on your feet and use those long hibernating grey cells to improvise and cross these hurdles.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-6\">6. Open-mindedness<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11669 size-full\" title=\"Open-mindedness\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/pexels-photo-346766-Custom.jpeg\" alt=\"Open-mindedness, travelling\" width=\"600\" height=\"359\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Travelling to new places exposes you to people that can be polar opposites of what you\u2019re accustomed to. They have their own stories to tell and their own beliefs to teach. You\u2019ll be surprised at how accepting and tolerant you become of entirely new ideas, belief systems and ways of lives. Your mind will be so open and wide, a Boeing 747 could pass through it.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-7\">7. Smartness lies on the streets<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11667 size-full\" title=\"Street smartness, travelling\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Busy_Street_in_India-Custom.jpg\" alt=\"Street smartness, travelling\" width=\"600\" height=\"397\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Oh the boons of street smarts! From getting the best deals on hotels and lodgings to finding the cheapest rides; from exploring the nooks and crannies of narrow streets, to know where to get the best food and trinkets. It all lies in being street smart. And travelling makes you smarter on the streets because you have to figure out everything on your own.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-8\">8.

And that is because we are magically released from inhibitions that otherwise bind us from letting go. During our travel, we dance like maniacs at parties; we take up new hobbies and try adventure sports. And you never know, any of these activities can turn into your passion, and you\u2019ll find yourself with an all-new set of skills in your kitty.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-9\">9.

The world is a food paradise. Rest assured that a traveller will eventually become a foodie. And for those of us who are already foodies, jumping, galloping mackerels, travel is food! One, giant restaurant serving world cuisine.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-10\">10. The accumulation of dreams<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11673 size-full\" title=\"Achieve your dream, travelling\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/pexels-photo-346885-Custom.jpeg\" alt=\"Achieve your dream, travelling\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t all have dreams. Some dream from the moment they start walking. Some dream when they pass out of college. But some of us can\u2019t really dream, not unless we know what\u2019s out there. Because those some, they dream when they travel. Who\u2019s to say that on a relaxing sojourn across Italy munching on pasta, you suddenly realise that you\u2019re enjoying so much, you\u2019d be better off living there, making your own pasta. When travelling, dreams are conceived, and also when travelling, dreams are born.<\/p>\n<p>Pack your bags, book your tickets, and get out there. It\u2019s okay even if you do not plan because some things are best enjoyed unplanned. Scale a mountain peak on one day and Travelling is a school. A school that doesn\u2019t just teach you the what, but also the how. It is the stuff of dreams, a way of life. But why? Let\u2019s find outgo down a narrow alley on another. Travel; travel all you can, travel as long as you have legs to walk and eyes to see. And travel even if you don\u2019t have both. Because we are not trees with roots. Because the world was not found by staying at one place, the world was discovered by explorers venturing into the unknown.
