A right trip can be one of the greatest experiences in a man’s life. It’s an attractive big world waiting to be explored. As men, we’re thrilled by the unknown.
If you’re still reserved, we now have 10 reasons why all men should travel
1. To see the world differently
Some of the biggest rewards from travel are felt once you return home. For better or worse, sitting back and thinking about your trip or looking back over your pictures will give you new perspective on the whole world, including the little part of it you call home.
2. To be self confident.
There are tons of opportunities while traveling to see what you’re made of. It could be as simple as trying to find your hotel in a town where you can’t read or speak the language.
One of the hardest parts of traveling, and one of its biggest rewards, is the payoff of launching yourself into new situations and forcing yourself to adapt.
3. To appreciate your hometown
In seeing all the amazing things in the world, you might find yourself craving the one thing you had all
along – home. Spending time away from your everyday life can actually make you appreciate what you have even more.
4. To make you more interesting
Traveling can definitely help you tell better stories as long as you don’t come across like a braggart. Being well traveled makes you more cultured, making you more interesting as a result. The well-traveled person tells better stories, draws more connections and even knows more interesting toasts than the man who stays at home.
5. To challenge yourself
there are always lots of unanswered
questions when travelling.
Whether it’s a worry about where you’ll stay or how you’ll communicate if you don’t speak the language, or even a good-old-fashioned fear of flying, travel will reward you richly for overcoming challenges.
6. To achieve a big goal
To pull off a trip to someplace you’ve always wanted to go is a large, complicated goal that will teach you to be persistent and self-reliant in all areas of your life.
(Ex: If your dream vacation is to visit another country, accomplishing that goal will take hard work)
7. To buy some sweet gear
All men love an excuse to buy new gear. Picking out the perfect tent, backpack, digital camera, GPS device, tough luggage, or tiny netbook can get us amped up for our trip. The joy of preparing for your trip is also an exciting experience
8. To think on your feet
At some point during your trip, something’s going to vary from your plan, that’s when you have to think on your feet. Traveling challenges you to be creative and flexible if you’re really going to enjoy yourself.
9. To meet new people
You can run into people from all walks of life, including ones very different from your own. Travel can put you in contact with types of people you might never meet in your daily life, and the stories and perspectives are usually fascinating.
10. To eat new food
No matter where your travels take you, some things will always be constant, such as food. You have to
eat, and that you have the opportunity to dig into the local cuisine at least three times a day. That means lots of new eating and drinking experiences; great beers and wines go hand in hand with traveling. In some cases, traveling will expose you to wonderful new foods and, other times, you’ll be eating old favorites, but with authentic flavors.
Finally, many regional cuisines are based around local ingredients, so you’ll be enjoying foods at the peak of their freshness
