Why do people travel? Is it out of curiosity for the unknown, or to get away from the monotonous daily life that we all lead? Whatever may be the reason we must all agree that travelling to new places, experiencing different cultures, tasting new cuisines, exploring the bustling streets or calm thick jungles makes us appreciate the beauty of life, pours new life in to us, maybe even a bit wiser.
Here, I would like to quote few lines from a famous book-The Pilgrimage- "When you travel, you experience, in a very practical way, the act of rebirth. You confront completely new situations, the day passes more slowly, and on most journeys you don't even understand the language the people speak. So you are like a child just out of the womb. You begin to attach much more importance to the things around you because your survival depends upon them. You being to be more accessible to others because they may be able to help you in difficult situations. And you accept any small favour from the gods with great delight, as if it were an episode you would remember for the rest of your life. "At the same time, since all things are new, you see only the beauty in them, and you feel happy to be alive.
The above paragraph perflectly summarises my reason for globetrotting. I have unveiled my grand plans for globe trotting by visiting the UAE first, following visits would be to Sri Lanka and the far East.
So ready or not, here I come....
