5 WAYS TRAVEL CHANGES YOU

Travel has many positives; one of the main things is that it exposes you to new and exciting things you would have never experienced at home. In addition, travel does something more life changing; it has the power to change you as person for the better.

Below are the 5 ways Travel changes you. Enjoy! :-)

(1) Better Perspective

Whatever you are going through. Travel is sure to fix it and give you a little bit more perspective. What may seem like a large challenge will start to look small once you take in your travel experiences and meet more people.

In addition, it’s always great to have your views of the world be challenged and tested. This then makes you more open and more able to see things from another point of view.

(2) Having More Flexibility, Tolerance and Patience

When travelling, things do not always go according to plan. It doesn’t matter how well organised your itinerary may be, things can sometimes go off course. This isn’t always a bad thing. Through such experiences you may discover a new part of a city that you have never heard of. You may even meet and connect with amazing people you would have never met. By having these experiences you will find yourself slowly embracing the spontaneity of life.

Sometimes it is necessary to be taken out of routine and out of your comfort zone. Once you do that, you learn something new and exciting about yourself and the World around you. So try to have patience when things don’t go according to plan. You never know what good fortune may come out of it.

(3) More Knowledgeable

Travel fills in the gaps of knowledge. We all have a deep desire to explore the unknown. Once you begin your journey to explore and get satisfaction from learning something new on your adventure, your thirst for knowledge will grow even more.

If you have always wanted to see an elephant in real life in its habitat, go see it. If you have always wanted to have proper British fish and chips, go do it. It is all part of the learning experience and your personal development.

When you are in a social situation you will be able to confidently share your knowledge with people and maybe inspire someone else to go on an adventure.

(4) Travel Makes Your Happier

Travel makes you a happier person by helping you to start appreciating the little things. When you take in an epic view you start to realise that you play a very small part in the vast universe.  And once you realise that, you will think more about the present and embrace and appreciate the little things.

Travel  also enables you to realise how huge and diverse the World is and reminds us to be grateful for who we are and what we have.

(5) Travel Boosts Confidence

Travel makes you a better person overall. If you struggle with self-confidence you will get a life-long boost of confidence when you go on adventure, face your fears and immerse yourself in the moment. Through this, it puts you on a journey to discovering your true self and achieving self-acceptance.

Exploring Berlin

A few days ago we were in Berlin and even though it was cold we got lost in the beauty and the history of city. Berlin has a deep history, it has gone through division, tragedy, reunification and has transformed for the better over the years. It is a city that is worth a visit. The architecture of the city is absolutely beautiful. We love how well the modern and historic buildings co-exist. The city also has a wonderful sense of creative freedom. We even saw a few people wearing High Spirit Bags, which was Epic! :-). Check out our journey.

Top 5 Thanksgiving Travel Tips

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and a lot of you will be catching flights and travelling to be with your loved ones in other parts of the World. We just wanted to share our Top 5 tips in order to make your travel arrangements a little bit easier: -

(1) Plan, Plan, Plan and Arrive Early

Travelling is fun, but it really helps to plan your journey in advance. Arriving at the airport early is important so you can check in on time and avoid missing your flight. It’s best to plan everything so nothing gets in your way to catching that plane to see your friends and family.

Also, try to avoid travelling a day before Thanksgiving because that is one of the busiest travel days of the year. 

(2) Travel Light

Travelling light makes the whole experience less stressful and you don’t have to worry about baggage allowance and you will also avoid any further potential luggage expenses. Mastering the art of travelling light is a skill in itself, but it’s worth it. In order to help with packing it really helps to write a list of all the things you need to carry with you. This helps you to keep a track of the things you need and helps you avoid carrying unnecessary things on your journey.

(3) Charged Up

Don’t forget to carry your chargers for your phones, iPads, Kindles, Laptops and any other devices.  There is a lot of waiting at airports so it helps to have some entertainment ready to make time fly!

(4) Look out for delays

If there are any delays with your flight check your Airline’s social media. The information may also be available on the Airline’s app.

Just in case of any delays it is important to know your rights. According to EU Passenger Rights it states that ‘If you are faced with a delay, the airline is obligated to offer you care during this delay. 

You can find out about your passenger rights for the USA and the rest of the World right HERE.
