5 Reasons You Should Be Traveling Beyond Fun and Relaxation

There are many reasons you should travel beyond the fun and relaxation aspects of a getaway. From nourishing your spirit to growing from life’s adventures, these motivations to get you exploring the world will remind you travel isn’t just about digging your toes in the sand.

Education

Every state, nation, and city has a story of some kind. The east coast is packed with my favorite educational travel spots. Boston, New York, Massachusetts, and Washington are filled with a rich history that makes a wonderful opportunity for you and your kids to learn while on vacation and have a great time. Many schools offer educational travel adventures, so why not make your next trip about expanding your mind?

Spirit

Whether you are religious or not, there is something about travel that nourishes our soul or spirit. Getting on the open road, hiking that less traveled trail, or experiencing a moment just for yourself that is special can rejuvenate you in a different way than just relaxing on a beach. Take a trip to find your inner-self and maybe even a little peace?

Independence

Going on a solo trip can seem daunting, but the payoffs and growth is worth any apprehension. Taking on the responsibility completely on your own means you are making your own choices. Sometimes, that feeling of being alone can be amazing and an opportunity to show yourself just how strong you are!

Experience

Exposing yourself to different cultures and exploring the world beyond your hometown is what makes life interesting. Getting out and understand others, their daily habits, views, and beliefs can be very eye-opening and teach you a thing or two! Imagine how different the world might be if we all took some time to simply understand each other!

Adventure

Face it, life can get dull. The daily grind can be monotonous and put you into a funk. Break the cycle and boredom with adventure. Try visiting a new city or take the leap on going snorkeling or swimming with sharks! Life is about living to the fullest and that’s hard to from behind a desk.

What’s your favorite reason to travel? Do you have a favorite travel spot for adventures, experiences, or growing in your independence or spirit?
