The Real Definition of Global Travel

What’s your definition of global travel? Maybe it’s travelling to as many places as you can? Or maybe it’s travelling to destinations that most people avoid? Mongolia and the Middle East may not seem like ideal holiday destinations but they can be a real eye opener. It all depends upon your reasons for travel. Do you just want to get away, soak up the sun and chill out with a good book, a magazine and your tablet, or enjoying entertainment from surfing the web? Or would you prefer to learn something from your experience? Whatever you’re looking for, global travel could be just what you need.

Benefits of Global travel

Travelling the different parts of the world comes with many benefits. If you do decide to head to the Middle East or Mongolia, for example, you’ll get to discover a completely different way of life. Seeing how other people live and experiencing the different cultures can really open your eyes. It helps you to develop a sense of empathy. It can also change your life seeing just how welcoming the people can be.

It’s often those living in the poorest countries who invite strangers with open arms. The people of Africa are often full of joy, despite the fact they have next to nothing in their possession. It makes you appreciate everything that you have back home. For many people, it’s even helped them to make changes when they get back home and they become a lot less materialistic.

Witnessing different cultures around the world is a real learning curve. You’ll gain a lot of knowledge about different world issues. You’ll also become a lot more understanding of the foreign travellers in your own country. The Global Citizen Daily has printed a really interesting article on the benefits of global travel for children. Global travel can be great for the whole family. However, you may want to consider going it alone.

Travelling alone – is it worth it?

Often, the best travel experiences come for those who travel alone. It can be very therapeutic exploring the world by yourself. As reported in the Huffington Post, travelling the globe alone can bring the following benefits:

  • Gaining a sense of mindfulness
  • Helps you to meet new friends
  • Eliminates depression
  • You can reflect and relax

If you’ve been struggling through life with no real sense of purpose, travelling can help to get you out of that rut. Often getting far away from a situation can help you to gain perspective. Time away helps you clear your head. The experiences you have while travelling will also help to make you more independent. Many people report that solo global travel was one of the best things they’ve ever done. So if you haven’t thought about going solo, now may be the time to do so.

Overall global travel can be anything you want it to be. Whether that’s seeing as much of the world as possible, or whether it’s simply visiting poorer countries. Try to head somewhere that has a completely different culture. That’s where you’ll discover the most unique and interesting people.
