Traveling as a hobby

Going from one place to another, learning from the historical experiences and strengthens one’s observation and understanding regarding different places of this world, is called traveling. One may travel for several purposes. We all travel in this life for our different works. Traveling becomes a hobby when you leave another place and find another to gain more knowledge, observation and idea about that out of sheer quest, is traveling hobby. I am very fond of traveling. It is my best ever hobby.   I like visiting different place and meeting different people.  Our school offers us a traveling and learning experience to different locations twice a year. That truly helps us in maximizing our knowledge and understanding regarding life. I like to travel to the historical places like forts, old temples, mountains, sculptures etc. I have visited and explored many historical places in India, and at other places. I have compiled of my travel experiences around these different places. This serves me a good memory that I enjoy watching in my free time.  Traveling is a wonderful and healthy activity. It has a lot of physical and mental benefits. It adds knowledge, experience and adds more learning. Though it is a bit expensive hobby yet is recommended for a man to travel to different new location once a year at least. It would help a man to stay focused and satisfied in one’s life.

Why I chose traveling as my hobby?

1.  I love the excitement of traveling

I love the excitement of it all — feeling like an explorer — discovering a new land, a new language, new money and all the little challenges that go along with it. When I travel, I am more spontaneous and don’t live for the future or the past… just in the moment. Being impulsive and saying ‘yes’ to nearly everything is part of the fun

2.  I love learning new things

I learn so much from travel. Travel broadens your mind in so many ways. You meet new people, share new experiences, and let down your guard much more than when back at home caught up in the mundane day to day routine of life that we think is normal.  I get to see how people lives. I learn about the differences and embrace the similarities. I am not there to complain about how it is ‘so different than back home,’ but rather to appreciate these dissimilarities. Just because something is different does NOT mean it is wrong and in many cases it can even be better. And, the people I meet get to know a bit about me, my background which can help dispel some other stereotypes as well. And now, some headlines I may have not noticed in the past, grab my attention. I’ve been to these places and have experienced their generosity. Now I’m much more interested and aware of what is going on there.

3.  I love meeting new people all the time.

In no other time in my life have I met so many people. The world is full of friendly, generous people. Maybe because people want to help you or maybe because you just don’t know some people long enough to uncover their schmuck-like tendencies. Since the nature of travel is to keep moving, these folks never become boring… because you simply don’t know them long enough to discover their flaws or get sick of them.

4.  I love the freedom

I experience a great feeling of independence from traveling. I can go wherever I want, whenever I want. I can sleep in. I can stay out late. It’s all up to me. All this also shows me how easy it would be just to live somewhere else… anywhere else really.
