Whether you’ve just
graduated and want a little life experience before entering into the work
force, or still aren’t quite sure what life has in store for you yet, traveling
in your twenties should be at the top of your list and there should be a lot of
reasons to go. At your 20s travel is a need and it gives you the pleasure of
life and also it helps to work harder in life .
1.Financial
Freedom
Odds are, you don’t
have a mortgage to worry about or hefty child expenses to budget for; although
you may not be making lots of money, you likely don’t need to spend much
either. Save 10-15% of your pay checks and other income (side jobs, tax
returns, etc.) and put it into a savings account dedicated to traveling.
2.Experience Cultures Unlike Your Own
You will see amazing
places that leave you speechless, and others that humble you far more than you
could ever imagine. You will learn different social rules, ways to
communicate, and (perhaps most importantly) gain insight to the real, everyday
lives of people who have a completely different perception of the world than
you do.
3.Make
Connections
Befriend locals,
other travelers, and everyone you meet along your journeys. Not only are you
making new friends, but you’re also making connections that may serve you in
the future. Add the people you meet on Facebook or LinkedIn, or at the very
least get their contact information. You never know, they may offer to host you
on your next visit or have business connections in your line of work!
4.You
Can Do It Cheaper
When you’re
20-something, you don’t mind staying in hostels or grocery shopping at the
local markets rather than dining out at every meal. Later in life you may
become accustomed to the “finer” things in life or a slightly more expensive
style of living, but for now you’re just happy to be experiencing something
new. Backpack, camp, ride the rails of international train systems – you’ll
love every minute of it, and you’ll see twice as many places at a fraction of
the price.
5.You
Won’t Have The Time To Go Everywhere Later
So many
men and women wait until they’re retired to travel, but the truth is you can’t
see all the places you’ve dreamed of in a limited period of time. You can never
plan for unexpected circumstances that may arise in the future, so don’t chance
it. Take advantage of time you
have now,
or make time, to do whatever traveling you can – even if it means just
exploring the areas around you on weekends!
6.Learn About Yourself
By going
outside of your comfort zone and everything you know, you’re not only learning
about the places and people around you but also about yourself. You may face
fears you never knew you had (and overcome them!), and understand what
intimidates you, stresses you out, or puts you at ease.
