“9 Awesome Benefits Of Traveling For You And Your Family”
Traveling is something I do a lot and for those of you reading this who knows me well on Social Media, I make no secret of it.
My parents always made sure we had an annual holiday somewhere. Not abroad as it was too expensive when I was a child and traveling abroad was not as popular as it is today. We used to go to holiday camps to the seaside every single year and even now I have wonderful memories of our times there.
As the years went by I was fortunate to be in a career that involved a great deal of travel and then the real bug for it set in. Visiting other places, countries and experiencing different things really did open up my mind the world out there.
There are some wonderful and amazing benefits to traveling for everyone and today I wanted to share with you what those benefits can be.
Disconnect from regular daily life
Traveling can help you to forget your problems for a while. It can also help you to step away from things and figure some stuff out. Each of us has schedules involving work, family, household chores, shopping etc. and getting away from it all can help you to reflect and see things differently.
Relaxation
Traveling can help us to remove stress and invigorate us, helping us to recharge our batteries. Just generally “switching off” can be so relaxing. Not having a care in the world while on your travels can be relaxing in itself.
Create Memories
How many things do you look back on with the fondest of memories? Traveling can create lovely, memorable moments you never forget. Whenever, my husband and I are talking about where we have been or what we have done, our memories of where we travelled to are our best ones.
If you have children, you are creating memories they will hold on to for a lifetime. I still remember the fun times with my parents and sister when I was younger.
Meet New People
Meeting new people on your travels can often lead to lifelong friendships. It might be in your hotel, or by the pool or maybe your children playing with others and you meet their parents.
Meeting other people from different cultures and countries is enlightening and it’s so interesting to learn from them and for them to learn from you about your own culture.
Build Relationships
How many times are we so busy in our family life that we never really take the time and trouble to actually speak properly or have discussions. Daily life can get in the way between you and your partner and maybe your children if you have some.
Traveling away together can really give you the time and space to spend quality time, getting to know each other all over again.
Its not the first time I have heard of couples saving themselves from separating or divorcing by taking a quality holiday/vacation together to get away from it all.
Try New Things.
When you are on your travels you might try things you just wouldn’t try at home. You may have a go at something adventurous like, Para gliding, or jet skiing. Maybe trying a new drink or new food is something you will do.
The list is endless, depending on where you travel. The options are there for the taking though and you never know, you may return with a new hobby.
Ps I had my first skiing lesson on snow when I was 50 years old. People thought I was crazy. I don’t. Now I have those memories and no regrets and not having had a go.
Increase Your Knowledge and Perspective
Traveling to other countries or even a different part of your own country can really widen your perspective and knowledge of how other people live.
Experiencing cultures in another country increases your knowledge about the people, their customs and how they live their lives. It can be absolutely fascinating.
I once visited Prague and was taken out of the city to explore the outskirts and seeing how things might have been in the past.
Learning their history and how things might have been in the past really helps you to understand things very differently than just seeing news stories on TV for instance.
Exercise and Sunshine.
Going somewhere sunny, enjoying the heat and maybe swimming everyday in the pool or the sea, can be the best of all for some people.
My sister sees her holiday as bliss if she can sunbathe all day and have the occasional dip in the pool. Talk about really chilling out!
Imagine how relaxed you feel if this type of break is what you dream when bogged down in daily life.
Come Home Refreshed
Unless you have been on the “holiday from hell” then you should return home refreshed, relaxed and ready to take on the world again. Most of us have only been back five minutes and our travels can seem miles away. However, why not begin planning your next one?
I hope you enjoyed reading about those benefits. I am sure there are many more that haven’t been included today that you may have in your mind. I could write a book of memories of the trips I have taken over the years and include all the things we have tried and the friendships we have made. None more so now. My husband and I are members of an invite only Travel Club enables us to increase our traveling now to places all over the world.
Traveling With A Travel Club
Being a member of a travel club has many benefits to it. I am not talking about a business opportunity here, even though I am a representative and run it as a home business. I am talking about membership for ANYONE who wants to experience travel to different places, meeting other people and enjoying the cultures and fun you can have in other countries around the world.
Thousands of people across the globe enjoy the membership benefits of the VIP Travel Club and you can be invited to join by any representative. If you want to see a video of some of what is on offer then visit my website Travel With Lynda and learn even more. Here is one as a taster.
