Why travel? For me, I have always enjoyed watching people from all different cultures and religions.
I enjoy watching them in my hometown, and as soon as I am in some new place, I start looking for local people right away.
When I am in a new place, I just hold my breath and observe the wonderful people and what they do and how they talk. As I look, I just think about how excellent life is and what beauty it offers us and how important it is to value each moment of our lives.
The views of nature are also exciting. While watching them, I wonder how such beauty can be created and how it is important not to ruin such a wonderful space. Nature is all around us but I feel when you are in a new place you take it in so much more
.
No one could say it better then Saint Augustine; he says the world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. And, to me, I find this exactly precise, because it you always stay home then you get never see the rest of the world.
When you don’t experience the world, you can never experience new cultures and ways. You need to be able to experience this because when you get to different places you can know a lot of their ways.
