Why True Travel Is About Self-Discovery, Not Social Media

Traveling is not in everyone’s destiny. Some people cannot travel because they do not have money, and some cannot because they do not have time. This practice of traveling is not new; it has been going on for centuries. But there is a difference between traveling in the past and traveling today. Earlier, people traveled to know themselves or in search of knowledge and liberation. You must have heard the names of Faxian and Xuanzang, the Chinese travelers who came to India in search of knowledge. But today, most people travel only to upload content on their social media accounts so that they can appear cool and productive. This is not the true purpose of travel. The real purpose of travel is to know yourself and the world, to understand it, to develop your thinking, and to give yourself new experiences and new heights. In this way, you can give yourself true peace and free yourself from narrowness.
