Travel is Fun
TRAVEL IS FUN
I consider travelling to be a way of life. Travellust (and an often mocked hybrid accent) were unavoidable for me because I was born into a family that loved to travel, and by the time I started school, I had already lived on three different continents. Being fortunate enough to have parents who believe that travel is the finest classroom, my sister and I were able to spend our school holidays travelling to and from interesting places.The best gift I ever received was the gift of travel, which I received upon graduating from college and turning 21. I set out on a six-month solo backpacking trip across Europe, Southern Africa, and Australia with a round-the-world plane ticket and a spirit of adventure, and it definitely changed the way I live.
The Advanced Guide to Travel to leave our World a Better Place
"Sustainable and eco-friendly travel should be a necessity in this day and age, not just a trendy term," argues Samantha Bray, managing director of the Centre for Responsible Travel. "Gov., travel companies, and tourists should all be doing their part to ensure these communities remain resilient and wonderful places to live and visit, given what we know about climate change and the effects of overtourism on destination communities around the world."
“The biggest shift is that consumers are realising that being environmentally conscious doesn’t have to mean sacrificing quality of experience,” says Jessica Hall Upchurch, vice chair and sustainability ambassador for Virtuoso, a network of upscale travel agencies with over 17,500 travel advisors globally. "Visitors can visit stunning resorts or take river and ocean cruises while still making no detrimental effects on the environment."
5 Laws That’ll Help The Travel to be Transformed
I have spent long nights in buses watching distant forests engulfed by forest fires caused by the acidity of dry pines planted on agricultural land. I have stayed in a historic tea growing area in the Himalayas where in 2012, for the first time in the last hundred and fifty years, the weather was too dry to pick tea. I have witnessed the wailing of the Ganga in Haridwar, which has been degraded from India’s purest source of glacial water to a mere dumping ground for ashes, dead bodies, garbage, plastic, wax candles and whatever else we feed it in the name of religion. I met a tribal family in North Kerala who were forced to demolish their therapeutic house of mud walls, cow dung floors and a thatched bamboo roof to get “government incentives” and who now sleep outside their concrete house every night because the natural temperature control is gone.
Use public transportation when travelling.
It's easy to succumb to the comfort of a cab or a rental car, but when you are standing on the coast watching the grey sea rush by, you know you have to make the trade-off. It’s not rocket science to understand that the more fuel you use for your needs, the more toxins you create, ultimately turning the blue sea grey and making the air stink
Travel to Eat
Close your eyes. Think of your favourite city or a place you like to visit. Now imagine a food that you are passionate about. I’m sure you smiled! That’s it. Food and travel are things that really move us. Well, that's what food travel is all about. Is there anything better than combining these two passions in a culinary journey?
On a journey we want to have different experiences than in everyday life. These experiences become remarkable when you feel connected to them. And that’s where food plays a role.
Connecting with food is a universal language, because no matter where you come from, food is certainly part of your story. That's why every travel memory is always associated with a taste.
Travel to Explore
Traveling from place to place. a long journey in which a number of places are visited in succession, especially with an organised group led by a guide. Synonyms: expedition, journey a short journey through a place, e.g. a building or site, to visit or inspect it:
a trip from city to city to fulfil engagements, e.g. for a theatre company or entertainer: to go on tour; a European concert tour. a period of time spent working in one place or in one profession.
Travel to escape reality
Travel and vacations are a means of rearranging and changing identities. We can use travel to rethink our priorities and devote our time and attention to identities and commitments that we involuntarily have to put on the back burner in our daily lives.
But even there, you can live in peace if you have to. If I had the choice, though, I would flee far from the neighbourhood, let alone see the city. For just as there are unpleasant climates that are strenuous even for the most robust constitution, there are others that are not too salubrious for the mind, even if healthy, when it is still in an imperfect state and building up its strength. I do not agree with those who recommend a stormy life, plunging straight into the surf to wage a spirited battle against worldly obstacles every day of their lives. The wise man will come to terms with these things, he will not go out of his way to meet them; he will prefer a state of peace to a state of war. It is not much use for a person to have managed to shed his own weaknesses if he has to constantly struggle with the weaknesses of others.
