What I mean is that you may have noticed how can be different a conversation with someone whom travel often, comparing with someone else whom doesn't.It is very easy to understand this concept if you think about famous explores like Cristoforo Colombo, Marco Polo, Captain Cook and thousands of other people whom have traveled a lot; there were so many of them in every Century and there are so many nowadays.They are all very different among each other and they did and do different trips in different areas, but all of them must have been forever altered in their assumptions and knowledge of the World; actually reading some of their biographies they seems deeply changed in their souls after those great experience as a result of their trips.
I remember very clearly how my life has changed since the time I begin traveling more often. Gradually, little by little, always characterized by a large and steady inner enrichment of myself. I started with my parents, then with my family, then with my friends, then also alone and at last traveling alone going to meet my friends all around the World.Definetly it has been a gradual process, and also for that I can say that’s an amazing thing.Anyway my experiences insipre me one of my great paradox. I mean that “The World becomes smaller when you travel, but it also becomes much larger”. Obviously it will be smaller for you because you will reach different areas and you will “touch with your hands” different people and cultures in a realtively short time.But at the same time this World will be for you also larger, because you will understand how really big it is and even if you have already seen a lot, there will be always “something and someone” more to discover.And when you start traveling it will be like a drug for you, but a good drug, without side effects. You will always want to do it more and more and if for some reasons you have to stop mouving, you will get some “withdrawal symptoms”.
You know my dear reader that I see things always more deeply, so I can’t limit myself just saying that traveling is nice, it opens your minds and so on; because now it is necessary to precise that not every trip can be usefull for that; actually because I am a very sensible man I have just taken for granted that almost every trip must be an inner enrichement, but now, while I am writing to you, my dear reader, I have just recognized that it is not so obvious, because it depends a lot from travellers.People travel for different reasons, so it is necessary to see which is the purpose of the journey. It can be cultural or just for fun, it can be a trip to “find yourself” or just to relax.I know that it depends a lot from each life style, obviously a single person doesn’t look the same things that a family look for, and so on. Anyway as I was saying, or at least from my point of view, many trips of many people are really almost useless. I am talking about the fact that many people spend a lot of money traveling somewhere around the World to just stay closed in the cage of a turistic village for instance, or they travel but they just go in turistic places, or they travel but they only speak with their own company and so on. I mean it could be nice but I think it would be more interesting other type of trips sometimes.
What I am talking about is the fact of being able meeting other people and to really know other cultures.But people don’t do usually. I know that you need to put more energy, I mean to put more effort doing that, but I am sure that at the end it will worth it. In fact you can appreciate and understand differences and similarities in all of us. This can be a good purpose for sure.So traveling can open your mind, but only if those whom are traveling set their journey in this direction. It seems that is almost more important whom are traveling than the final destination. Yes, why not. Of course is important also the place or the country where you are going, but it is essential that who travel is already a sensible person, to be able to catch all the good energy that is around. That’s very important. So I guess that the sentence "Travelling open your mind" is just rethoric. It will open your mind if you really want that in your soul.
Anyway my dear reader let me know what you think about this topic, I know that a lot of you love traveling exacly like me.In any case this post beside to stimulate you thinking more deeply, as all my articles do, it want to be also a greeting. Actually I wish you nice summer, nice vacations and amazing trips. This is my very simple but also very important message for all of you.
