Travelling is extremely important. I just got back from doing the greatest trip of my life and from New York to LA six months. Amazing! I just taught me so much about myself and the world and I just think travelling, if you can do it, is so important. Here are some of the reasons why I think travelling is super important. Travelling makes you less ignorant. No matter how open-minded you think you are, when you go to new places and experience new cultures you realize how close your mind actually was before you left. You're always given biases depending on what you're taught, what you are told by your parents. Travelling independently allows you to experience things and learn for yourself. You become more open-minded, more aware of the situations, more aware of world events because you're involved in it when you're there. Travelling throws you into new situations and gets rid of all your inhibitions whether it's staying at a hostel like I did and sleeping in a room with 20 other people or going on little trips like little excursions with people you've never met before.

Traveling throws you into these situations and you just have to deal with it. You're not at home where you can sit in a room and just hide away. You have to go out, you have to make the best of any situation. All your inhibitions just disappear. Traveling also allows you to learn to be alone. When I was traveling, the time between getting up in the morning and dinner was super easy. You could distract yourself, you could go and look at attractions, you could go and explore. It's at night when you're alone. It's at night when you're sitting there with your own thoughts and at first it feels terrible but then that feeling begins to subside. I learned to be alone. I learned to be able to sit alone with my own thoughts and be content. It was just me, my ideas, my imagination and I was happy with it. You learn to be alone, you also learn to miss home.

Traveling can give you a fantastic appreciation for everything you were desperate to run away from in the beginning. You have no one looking out for you. You have no one checking up on you. You have no one to lean on in bad times. You're simply by yourself and you learn that what you have at home is much better than you thought. The most important thing about traveling is experience: experiencing new places, experiencing new people, experiencing new food, experiencing new cultures, experiencing new ideas. Experience gives you like a form of education you can't get from Harvard, you can't get from Oxford, you can't get from any college or university in the world. You learn about the economics of a place, you learn about the politics of a place, all from being there you learn at first hand. Traveling allows you to learn so much just about yourself. You rediscover yourself, what you're scared of, what you love, what you think about. You just get reconnected to yourself. Travelling means you make new friends, you start talking to strangers you've never met before, you develop a relationship with people. People you would never speak to, people you would just walk past on the street not cause you're horrible but because you have no connection. When you're traveling and you meet other travelers you just have these connections with people and there's nothing more amazing than that.
