Why we explore. Thinking about traveling, adventure and seeking that "elsewhere"

Travel. Adventure. Freedom. Why do we travel? What makes traveling such an amazing experience?

We see al this mystical, beautiful places. These sunsets. This stunning cliffs. And we ask ourselves: “who would we be, if we were there? What would we feel? What kind of person would I be, standing on this beach, at this sunset?”
So traveling is a form of hacking our reality. We leave all our frameworks and rules behind. Traveling takes us out of the distractions of the everyday life. Out of all our habits, routines, families and commitments.

Into something that is new. Fresh. Clear. We hear a new language. See new places. Everything that used to be around us, that used to define us, is gone. We can completely let go, completely lose ourselves - and suddenly find our self. Be in the NOW. We are kid again. On a huge playground. Exploring. And adventure is everywhere. We are suddenly in a state of flow and openness.

This is what traveling does to us. This is, why we love it. This is, why you love it.
