The trip of your life!

Travel... one word, so many meanings. Truly, even listening that how many things could someone think about? From exotic beaches and snow to distance and inconvenience. Everyone's looking to find the ideal destination. A trip is not simply an environmental change, it is notion, search, knowledge... You can face it in such different aspects, with joy, fear, anxiety, indifference... we could say that it reminds us life itself. With knowledge and experience we can judge everything which is happening around us, people and statements... with knowledge and experience we can judge what a trip represents for us as well. For sure, we should not doubt it, not at least if this does not give us a reason to. Some people decide to have it easily, others hesitate. It may cause excitement, may even fear. Something unknown and different can make you react, or being scared. Well, this makes sense on one hand, it seems unreasonable on the other... Even in your daily basis that all look familiar to you, how many things do happen just next to you and you probably don't have any idea of them? One far away exploration in stranger tides can bring the stress of uncertainty, but if we want to think in a more optimistic way, why all this adventure could not just raise our existing happiness, change our lifes, our way of thinking, and give a greater meaning to our existence? All this can be answered to someone with one single act: to dare it! To say yes to the new one, and then decide if what you gained was positive or negative to you. Like any change in life, it can change everything for a human, a creature that naturally is always set to try new things, to evolve, to be able to move one step further, from the simplest to the most complicated thing. Without boldness and effort, he would not have created anything, not even the language or culture, much less he would not have been on the moon. To be locked in a shell, without getting to explore new environments, how could you open your horizons? The stagnation has never helped anyone, because thanks to the search, society has found a solution to the biggest problems... To experience something different than usual, can only make you a better person, because it will fill you with supplies. Perhaps it will upset your ordinary life, but that will make you judge everything in a different way, and at the same time you can adopt or reject characteristics that will make you better. Within a journey that has a lot to teach you, you will surely be surprised with what you did not know, and of course you will find out what you already had and maybe you did not appreciate as you should. The following ancient phrase of a wise can maybe explain the meaning of this concept in the best way: Life is a book, and those who do not travel read only the first page.
