How Travelling Fosters Self-development | The world is a vast source of motivation | Be a steem writer full of inspiration
It's actually scary setting off oneself into a world with unending possibilities and misfortunes. However, there's a bigger picture that we might miss if we let our fears or agitations overrule us. As the steem platform gives us unending opportunities for oneself and others, having inspirations in any forms is pretty much needed to sustain making good quality contents and letting ourselves to inspire other people.
HOW CAN TRAVELLING HELP YOU?
Taking the first step to explore this constantly changing world is truly never easy but don't be afraid but grab it by horns and make sure to savor every single minute of that first leap. To all intents and purposes one of the endless merits that travelling can attribute to self development is it pushes you out of your comfort zone. When you give yourself a chance to be out of your comfort zone, we tend to overthink of failures. But it doesn't just work that way, think of the lessons it could give you. It could up skill you things you haven't learned before.
TRAVELLING ESTABLISHES YOUR SELF-ESTEEM
In every adventures you may encounter travel mishaps. You learn to be more self-reliant and mindful in every actions that you and others do. These adventure mishaps force you to cope up and find solutions on your own.
IT MAKES YOU MORE COMPELLING
The more you are interesting to something, the more it makes you an interesting person. Having aspirations to see the world attracts it to make you a more interesting individual.
IT EMPOWERS YOUR INTERPERSONAL SKILLS
Having the ability to easily communicate to people and get connected is not easy as snapping your fingers. For most people it requires certain drivers for them to acquire such skills. When you travel, there's no best way to narrow down your trip and making it less complicated but through communication. By simply talking to locals, you can already learn a lot of information and helps you develop your communication skills and earn that confidence one at a time.
YOU LEARN MORE ABOUT YOURSELF
It may sound cliche but it's true. By taking ourselves out of our daily atmosphere, we tend discover more things about ourselves. Travelling solo in particular can give us time to perform inner talks and realize on things that we like and dislike.
It leads you to a greater sense of empathy
When you travel and of course going to different places eventually meet different people from different walks of life and you are able to see how the culture is and how people interact to each other. Hearing stories from them somehow gives you a feeling of appreciation and you can sometimes relate and understand to it. Then share that feeling to one another.
Steem platform is basically a wide world map with people being connected. Tons of information being shared. Too many great story tellers just right there waiting to be heard. Go and start creating the life story that you want. The world is just in the palm of your hands.

One could argue that every action we undertake in life gives us a bigger understanding of ourselves and helps to develop us as individuals in a rapidly changing and growing world, but travelling is definitely one of those areas that can really make an impact.
Travelling has given me so much, both mentally and emotionally, made me grow as a person and learn things about myself I'd never had known otherwise..
I'd say though that while I do enjoy solo travel a lot I've found a lot more joy in travelling with @iwanderela, the constant sparring with a close partner opens up lot of possibilities that I tend to overlook as a solo traveller :)
Keep up the travelling!
In my year of travel, I encountered a lot of the above mentioned points. While I was already quite mindful at home I notice that I lost the time and days in my long traveling. One time I even lost the month. It did not matter and the days kept counting on. Today was today and most of the days I did not think about tomorrow. I am mostly living in the moment, without thinking about tomorrow. I think that gave my soul the ultimate peace and mindfulness. I can definitely find myself in your point! Anyway, now I am slowly getting back to normal lifestyle here in the Philippines :) Hope I can travel again with you somewhere Bel!
Love,

What a great post from you @bellatravelph! We can inspire other travelers to fulfill their bucket lists!
For me, it is my great escape from this stressful world that life has brought me.
For this year, I have a lot of travel goals to be fulfilled! Hopefully.. hehe (fingers crossed).
Solo travel over several years has given me the headspace to get clear on lots of stuff that would have kept confusing me had I been sitting behind a desk.
this is one of my goal too , to travel around the world and take some photos to interesting places and food and want to know about different cultures!
i want to share my experience to all our fellow steemians that our world is full of beauty and wonder!
thanks for sharing this post!
upvoted it!
A really nice article made a good choice my dear friend
Very interesting topic. Traveling really relieves a lot of miseries in life. It is a natural remedy for depression which a lot of people are experiencing. A lot people that travel is expensive, but it just depends on how you enjoy the place. Having a ME TIME.
good your post friend. I like you.
You list down all the things I learned from travelling. I totally agree to everything you just said specially this part
I was scared of travelling on my own before so I started going on trips with my friends first to get the hang of it. And over a year ago, I decided to go solo backpacking in Myanmar. It definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone. It was worth the experience and I'm glad I did it.
It’s absolutely true, talking to locals and even just observing them will able us to understand others from different walks of life. Keep motivating people @steemph.cebu
