Everyone loves traveling especially for a long time. Probably you also like to travel in long period. But, if you travel, you should realize that traveling is to find yourself. Really?

How can find yourself by traveling?

Traveling is to find yourself. It looks weird but that is true. When you are traveling somewhere else, both with your friends or alone, you always try to find the best thing. Enjoy your time, eat the local cuisine or talk with fellow traveler. That is great thing to do.

When you are with friends, sometimes you have to follow what they need or maybe you ask them to join your plan. Perhaps you want to go to the museum, but your friends like to visit local Mall and the others want to eat the local dish.

That is why it is better to do solo traveling to find yourself. None can bother you and you are free to do anything.

Let’s try to do solo traveling and you can find yourself by traveling. You are free to go anywhere without another option or choice. But it means you should mingle with the locals or fellow traveler. They are people who can give you useful information.

Don’t forget to try learning local language since people will be delighted when you speak their languages, even though only in several words.

When you are alone in stranger area, you should respect to others. Remember you are a guest and to find yourself means you have to be good if you want to find another good. Never expect the good if you don’t want to be good person. So, you need to show respect to other you meet during traveling.

What will you get after traveling?

Since traveling is to find yourself, you may be different after coming home. Perhaps you are selfish and careless to other, but after traveling you are humble, much care and want to help others.

It is really a good thing since you become better after traveling. You can spread the new yourself to other. Maybe you will feel vice versa by becoming a local who welcome travelers and you help them.

Is it great and fun? Come traveling and find yourself to be much better than before.
