How long can a year be? If you have been working for twelve months without leave it sometimes feels like an eternity. Perhaps you are working for a bank. In the current state of the economy you might have had the stressful experience of referring many clients to a debt consolidation service. Maybe you are a trader, forever waiting for that one forex signal that will make you rich. Whatever job you do, by November you will be tired and irritable. Our advice to you is to store your laptop in it’s laptop bag and catch a plane to a far-off place where you have never been before. A place to regain your strength – ready to fight the good fight again.
There are few things in life that will infuse you with new vigor as three weeks in a totally strange place. Preferably a place where you don’t even understand the language. Where a simple thing like buying a hamburger can become an intricate series of gestures and attempts to find the right word in the dictionary.
Traveling has a way to take your mind away from the troubles you left behind like little else on earth. When you travel to a far-off place you are confronted with so many new things every day, that you have no time to dwell on the problems back at the office.
You will meet new and interesting people. People who do things differently to what you are used to. They will still wear clothes, but the clothes will be a little different to what you wear at home. They will eat, maybe even the same food – but the recipes will be different. It won’t taste quite the same.
To travel is to broaden your mind like very few other things can ever manage. You will learn that there is not just one way to do things. That you don’t always need the most expensive car and the biggest house to be happy. Somewhere on your travels you will meet people with little earthly possessions who are happier than you could ever imagine.
If you travel often, to many different places, you will in the end be able to look at your own country, its people and even your own life as an outsider. To see things in perspective again.
This might lead you to go on with your old life with new vigor. Or it might motivate you to make changes you would never have dreamed of before, like starting a new career. Whatever it does, traveling will never leave you unchanged….
