Stacy from Rambling Traveler just tagged me a few days ago to tell her 5 reasons why i travel. I just recently wrote a little post about this topic, but didn’t really elaborate on my reasons, so here we go:
- I love the excitement, that’s always in the air when travelling. I mean, most likely the “big” adventure won’t happen, but it just seems possible that someone hands me a map to a secret beach…
- Life is so simple on the road. I find this strangely comforting. Everything I own and need, I carry with me in my backpack. No need for a car, an apartment or a tv and no desire to own all that either.
- Cultures other than my own have always fascinated me; it’s almost like a charm. There’s so many things to see and experience and so many different people to meet out there, I don’t see how I could spend my whole life back home.
- The only way to experience more freedom than when travelling is to go skinny dipping. When you’re out and about you can do whatever you want. If I’m fed up with a place, I can just leave. Back home this would be a tad more problematic.
- Virtually anything, good or bad, funny or sad, could happen to me, when I travel. I like this uncertainty a lot. There is a grain of truth in ‘No Risk, No Fun’!
So, there’s my reasons. If you read this, Ethan, then I’d like to hear your reasons. I’d like to see as well, how you would incorporate this into your story!
