Many of us have never realized that traveling is not something we are all good at, its like breathing, its something we do. Most people usually do the routine travel from home to work, shopping, or visiting a friend.
There is more to travelling than the routine travel. Getting away from our comfort zones or beating the alternative (staying home) and going to an alternative destination away from the routine.
We have compiled for you some of the reasons as to why travelling is good for you.
- Traveling is easier than you think.
We believe that traveling around the world shouldn’t be hard: it’s actually something everyone should be able to do at least once in their lives. Whether you choose to spend a few years or just a couple months traveling this beautiful planet, it’s important to see what’s out there. It’s up to you to make the dream come true and take the first step.
If you’re open and willing, travel will make you an incredibly more well-rounded human being. And that’s really the goal, isn’t it? If you don’t know where to start, check out our
packages or upcoming events and lets move you.
- Traveling helps you learn who you are.
All the challenges and opportunities travel lays at your feet help you discover who you are in a way that’s only possible on the road.
- Travel creates meaningful relationships
People you meet while on the road become some of the most valued names on your contact list. They become places on the map to visit later on. These folks give you a glimpse outside your hometown circle of friends, and force you to take in new and refreshing perspectives, and ultimately realize that everyone is the same.
- Traveling develops skills you didn’t know you had
Sometimes it’s only far from home that you realize you’ve got skills you’ve never used. It’s travel that brings them to the surface and makes you smile, satisfied to have reached the mountain top, or even to have successfully ordered a meal at a rural/local restaurant.
- Travel helps you learn new languages
There’s something satisfying about being able to throw around a few Maasai words, knowing how to say thanks in
Kikuyu, pulling out that that difficult word in
Kalenjin, or simply hearing a language you didn’t know you would be interested in before.
Zip-lining over the jungle canopy in
The Forest, successfully navigating the maze-like streets of Venice, bartering for the best price in the traditional
Maasai/City Market, visiting a snake park in your local museum just to test your fears, or hopping in a Land Rover and heading out for a game drive in the national park: these are adventures worth having. People are hardwired for the excitement of adventure and travel may just be the best way to tap into it.
- Traveling gives you perspective
Meeting people from different cultures, traditions and religions will teach you that the way you’ve been looking at the world isn’t the way everybody else does. In fact, your point-of-view might have some major blind spots. Seeing the world for yourself will improve your vision and your grip on reality.
- Travel helps you move forward
If you’re between jobs, schools, kids, or relationships, around the local/world travel can be a perfect way to move from one of these life stages into your next great adventure. A big trip won’t just ease your transition into the next stage of your life, it’ll give you a chance to reflect on where you’ve been, where you’re going, and where you want to end up.
Seeing the world provides an education that’s absolutely impossible to get in school. Travel teaches you economy, politics, history, geography, and sociology in an intense, hands-on way no class will. Fortunately, the school of travel is always taking applications, no entrance exam required.
Getting your daily drink at the same place and staring at your screen at your eight-to-five every day not nearly interesting enough? Even if you choose to work on the road (and keep staring at the screen), you’ll have to find a new place to drink your coffee/beer, and depending on your destination, finding coffee, and foamy milk or a good place to sip them could prove to be a sizeable challenge. Travel is full of moments of joy and challenges. Overcoming the challenges gives you some of the greatest joys of all.
It sucks to be stuck in a rut. Everyone knows what that’s like. A big trip can be your perfect solution. take road trips, hikes and trails, stopping over in all of the places you’ve always wanted to visit.
- Traveling proves that dreams do come true

It can be done. local or Around the world travel is possible, you just have to decide you’re willing to take the first step and start planning your itinerary. What are you waiting for? We have put together some unique and regular events to inspire you to live your dream.
- Travel gives you cool stories
Let’s face it. Even for folks who can’t tell a story, just the words “
last year in Masai Mara” gets you instant party points. Even when events seem trivial, nostalgia and distance create an irresistible spin that makes mundane things like getting your laundry done in Zanzibar, entertaining. Just don’t be that person and overdo it!
- Travel is literally food for thought.
You’ll be constantly surprised at the flavors the world has to offer. The way people in other cultures and countries prepare food, and break bread together (not that all cultures even eat bread) will astound you.
- Travel gives you a sense of accomplishment
If you’re the kind of person that dreams big, you’re probably one to reach for new challenges. Finishing a trip gives you the satisfaction that you were able make a goal to travel and accomplish what you set out to do–see the world.
