9 Reasons Why Travel is Important

When you talk about travel, the first thing that comes to mind is recreation, something that we do on our vacation or free days for fun, most people do consider travel as a leisure activity only, but what if I tell you that it can be much more than that? There are far more benefits to traveling than just de-stress yourself while you enjoy your pina colada in front of the pool, especially if you are traveling abroad.

Besides de-stressing yourself, which is indeed a fact, traveling can also improve your health and help you learn a new language, but the importance of traveling goes far beyond that. It completely changes the way you see the world and interacts with other people and the environment, and this by itself is already a good reason why it’s important to travel the world.

If you manage to take the best out of your travels, you will see that they can become valuable experiences not only for fun but also for learning. Thinking about that, I have compiled a list of reasons why travel is important and the benefits of traveling in our lives.

9 Reasons Why Travel is Important

Benefits of Traveling

Builds self-confidence and independence.

For young people especially, it is hard to leave your comfort zone, you have lived with your family your whole life, have your friends, don’t have big worries, don’t need to pay bills, and live in a city where people know you since you were a kid. Leaving the comfort zone sounds more like an alien experience that most of us don’t really want to take.

Exploring the world and all its wonders can have a huge impact on an individual’s self-confidence and independence. As you explore, you are forced to take risks, step out of your comfort zone, and make decisions for yourself.

This ability to conquer challenges fosters a sense of confidence that lingers long after one’s travels come to an end, as it is in hardship that we grow. In addition, while traveling independently you also get to practice problem-solving skills which will prepare you for whatever challenge comes your way in life.

Teaches you problem-solving skills in unfamiliar settings.

Exploring why travel is important teaches you problem-solving skills in unfamiliar settings. By putting yourself in an unknown environment you are forced to think quickly, assess the situation and respond effectively.

Traveling can help hone your decision-making capacities, making you more adept at managing situations that are seemingly daunting or out of your control.

Additionally, by being exposed to different cultures and customs, you will start to understand how actions are taken on one side of the world can have consequences on the other side of it.


RELATED Traveling with Depression and Anxiety


Develop cultural sensitivity

Sometimes you might think your country is the best or has the best culture, but the truth is that your country is just one in the middle of many others, care to feel small here, please? Cultural shock can be scary sometimes, but most of the time it gives you a different perspective on things.

Maybe you will like it, maybe you will not, but you will need to adapt yourself to this new culture, break taboos, and accept a different opinion that can be the opposite of yours.

But in the world of culture, nothing is really right or wrong, it is just a matter of perspective, and we need to deal with it.

Perhaps you will come across a different way to look at something, and it will change your life, maybe you will find out that something that is such a big issue for you, is just a simple matter that shouldn’t be taken as a problem in other cultures, and it will make your life so much better!

Become social aware

You have contact with different people from different countries and get to know other cultures and costumes. All this gives you a sense of existence, making you realize the world is not summarised in yourself or your city or country, helping you to understand your place in the universe.

It breaks egocentrism and makes you think more about others. Teaches you to respect other people and cultures and makes you less selfish. It breaks taboos that you may have with this or that people, and change your point of view towards someone.

Maybe you think that these people are weird, or those people are harsh, but after you finally get in contact with them, you will notice that your thoughts were just stereotypes.


RELATED Travel Quotes to inspire your travels


Learn languages

While traveling you have a big chance to learn another language, at least the basics! English is almost an international language and very dear for those who travel but only because you have the means to communicate, doesn’t mean you can’t learn the local language!

Having to contact full time with people who speak other languages is the easiest way to learn it, better than only taking classes.

Of course, classes are great as it is how you will learn the grammar rules, etc., but to be fluent and develop conversation skills in this new language, nothing better than going out, trying, failing, and trying again!

And don’t worry about learning a language that you “will never use again in my life”. You never know when it will be useful. People used to tell me Arabic was pointless until I found myself lost in Brussels and the only person around was a Somali woman who didn’t speak English, I didn’t speak French, BUT AAH HAAAM, we could speak Arabic, the lady showed me the way, BAM! no loss anymore, now tell me Arabic is pointless again!!

Life experiences are what define you

The first time I heard that it made so much sense. I totally clicked! Your being is defined by what happens to it during life, the situations you put yourself in today are what will define you tomorrow, it is from the experiences that we learn, we change.

Traveling will provide you with so many different experiences that you wouldn’t have if you keep your bum on the sofa for the rest of your life, it will open your mind, and again, make you adapt to different situations.

Observe wildlife in their natural habitat

Remember when you were a kid and used to go to the zoo to watch animals locked in their cages doing what they probably wouldn’t be doing if they could choose?

Traveling allows you to watch those same animals in their REAL habitat, you can observe them keeping on with their daily lives, living just like they would if humans didn’t exist. The sense of dividing your own space with a wild animal is just surreal.

Few people have the chance to admire them in their real habitat, and those that do, don’t want to go back to the zoo, ever!

It is so rewarding to be part of their habitat, even for a few minutes, and have the conscience of so.

Bring to reality everything you watched in documentaries

Watching a documentary on TV is always interesting. I have always loved that since I was a kid, I used to spend hours watching Discovery Channel or Animal Planet. But seen from the distance it is hard to acknowledge the reality is all this.

It is just like a movie, something that perhaps even happens, but somewhere far away from me and that is not interfered with by me.

But when you finally travel to a destination that you watched the documentary about, that’s the moment when everything becomes tangible.

Learn about the history of the world and civilization

Reading books and watching documentaries are always very educative. But nothing is more educative than going to the place yourself and learning about the history, culture, and all the rest, from the source! You will not only learn from your own experience but also get the proof with your own eyes!

Needless to say that seeing history and culture firsthand is way more immersive, than watching it from a half-world distance right?

Why is it important to travel the world

Most people travel for vacation, a chance to be free of the daily life routine, and to spend time with their family. It is by itself good enough.

However, only a few people realize the positive effects of international travel, which are many, from healthy reasons to self-esteem, to personal growth. It changes you as a person, and shapes the way you see the world, and how you react to different situations.

It was never so easy to travel the world as it is nowadays, so if you are living in this generation, you should consider yourself lucky, to begin with.

I know it is not something simple for our mindset, it is not an easy decision to go out of your comfortable and secure house, to see the world, it may sound threatening, and it is, but trust me, it is so rewarding.

If you are still not convinced, take a look at this list of why traveling is important, and please, if you dream about traveling abroad but feel afraid of taking the first steps, maybe you don’t know where to begin, or you don’t know where to go first, why not sending me an email, perhaps I can help you out! 🙂

And if you are already planning to travel abroad, but are not sure of where to go, check this list of the best countries to travel to for first-timers.

    The world is the best school. At age 16, that time when you ‘have’ to pick a study, I had no idea what to choose. Because I had no idea about what was happening in the world, what I could dedicate myself to with passion, and what matters. To really get a broader view of the world out there, and figure out what we are meant to live for, we have to GO out there and experience.

    Even though I don’t get to travel as much as I used to, I can say that it teaches you cultural sensitivity. The US is not the center of the universe. Even if we think it is. Traveling, coupled with interest in other cultures has helped me learn at least 2 other languages, that I can now communicate in.

    I’ve been travelling since I was a baby. I really started moving to different countries shortly after I was born. Living in India then Singapore where I took my first steps. Then onto Germany where I started school, then finally returning to my birthplace of jolly old England. I think this set the tone because I moved to Italy in my twenties, then America and Canada. I’ve rarely been a tourist. I’ve been a resident in all of these countries, but I love visiting other places too. When my grandmother was alive we used to go to Trinidad & Tobago ever winter. I can relate to all the reasons you’ve listed here. Travelling is a priceless education that I wouldn’t trade for th world.

    I love this post SO MUCH. I wholeheartedly agree with everything you wrote. Travelling is an important part of life and I think that’s why there are so many narrow-minded people in the world because they never leave their little towns or their corner of the world. I know this post is geared more towards world travel but even if you just try to explore more of your own country it can be life-changing. My husband and I recently visited Colorado and I swear it changed our lives. Instead of taking a honeymoon and then settling down after the wedding we’re now planning an open-ended homeless honeymoon! We’re going nomadic! So traveling anywhere, just to see something different can be truly inspiring. Seriously, love this post. <3

And this is something so important. I agree with you, perhaps if more people did that, we wouldn’t have so many narrow-minded people in the world!

    Not only do we love to travel for relaxation, but we want to see more of our heritage. This year we want to visit Spain!

    This can’t be more true! I love travelling and never want to stop, having a baby won’t stop me and neither will finance! It’s the best form of education there is in the world!

    I was lucky enough to experience many cultures and customs when growing up and also lived abroad as well. It really does force you to be more broad-minded and aware of the diverse nature of people and appreciate the beauty offered by different regions of the world.

      Definitely! It shows you that there are so many different ways to live a life, you learn to be more respectful towards other people, cultures, etc

    I agree with all these reasons for traveling. I also think travelling to other countries has helped me to understand, love, and just communicate with others better because I have an idea of what different people in different countries go through on a daily basis in their lives, at least in a general sense.

    This is a really good post and I wish more people would travel because of the reasons you are listing. Unfortunately especially the social awareness and multicultural approach are very often neglected, travellers are only happy because some other countries are cheaper and the weather is better…no intercultural interaction whatsoever. They don’t know what they are missing out.
    Where in Brazil are you from? I’m going there in February – to learn the language, like you suggest: two weeks school in Rio and then practicing further south.
    Happy travels, boa viagem!

      I so agree! The good things about traveling for me is not the vacation itself, but the chance to have contact with different people and different cultures and the possibility to learn from them, this kind of experience is priceless!

      Woow that’s great! I hope you enjoy Brazil! I’m from the south part, it is lovely here, not so touristy as Rio, so it is more chill here! If you have any questions, pls feel free to ask!! 😀

      Boa viagem pra você também!

    So true! I agree that people who travel can broaden their social awareness of other cultures, people, and experiences.

    You’re so right! I especially love to experience the reality, something I could once see in photos or documentaries, and now I can feel it, I can breath that air and nearly touch it. It’s amazing!
