It sounds simple but really true. You should open your mind by traveling. Why? Perhaps so far you are stuck at home, handle job only without intention to do vacation, it may cause a lunacy for your self.

Traveling is the way to make you open your mind, since you may see someone, somewhere and something new, that you have never seen before. It looks good, especially you understand this world is various according to the culture, ethnic, language, religion and so on.

When you choose traveling to open your mind, it means you have to be ready for everything. Always be positive whenever you are because you will see something never seen in you previous life. Probably it goes same with backpacking, more exciting than traveling.

What should you do to open your mind?

It is actually quite simple thing to do. You travel in a country A and stay at hotel. What do you do besides finding tourism object? Why not to do chit chat with hotel staff, fellow traveler or perhaps food seller on the street.

Going to food street, order and tell the seller if you eat a delicious food. Usually, they will be appreciated and you can continue small talk. Just enjoy and do it. Probably you get discount when coming for next time?

Besides, you can go swimming at hotel and start to open conversation with fellow guest. Usually open minded people will respond you and you are in the nice talk.

By discussing anything, you will open your mind by enjoying your time especially you just get new knowledge and able to see anything from other perspective.

Important and make you to be more patient

It is totally important and you may be patient when looking at someone doing something weird.

For example you see people eat using hand, not fork or spoon. You shouldn’t complain because that is their culture. By seeing something amazing, it will open your mind and you become more tolerant.

That is simple thing to plant but having great things to harvest.

Remember, learn something new by opening your mind on traveling.
