1. Pop your comfort bubble
I know that comfort is so good. After a hectic day of work, relaxing with your phone on your bed is the best feeling. Come to think of it, what are we learning? Get up early in the morning; go to work and come back home. There aren’t any lessons you’re gaining or any hurdles you’re accomplishing. Don’t you wish you could talk about how some traveler you met shared with you his life struggles? Or how you had to overcome a situation you could never in your mundane life. Traveling makes you step out of your comfort bubble. It makes you realize that the bubble shouldn’t have existed in the first place. So, go ahead and pop it!

Hence, you’re not evolving. Traveling in a new destination makes you take decisions you never had to. You’ll face new instances urging you to think differently and make strange choices. And the best part is that it is all up to you. No one will be lecturing about the right or wrong. Everything depends on you. You’re the leader.

Go outside and take a look, with new places come to new lessons. Everything you thought you understood has a deeper meaning. Knock Knock!
6. Real-life social network
You have thousands of Facebook friends and hundreds of followers on Instagram. But be honest, how many do you talk to? How many of them ask you about your day? They are solely your acquaintances. Your friends on Facebook merely don’t have a deeper connection with you. People you meet while traveling holds the same purpose as you, explore the world and oneself. Getting to know one another’s real-life stories builds real-life bonding. This bond isn’t for stories on your Instagram, but the story of your lifetime.

We all love trying new foods. Exploring new cuisines has become a trend these days. It ought to be because the food sector is dynamic, it is evolving. Let’s take the example of sushi. We all love sushi. But the real authentic taste of sushi is only experienced in Japan. People recreate cuisine and use their creativity. And that is beautiful but sometimes authenticity is the best. And to get the genuine taste of your favorite food, why not go and visit the country yourself?
9. Learn a new language
Nepal has more than 125 ethnic groups and do you know they all have their language. Most Nepalese are bilingual as we speak Nepali, English plus our ethnic language. But, why are you content with speaking one language? Learn new languages because to use street words of different languages is fun. Travel different cities and create a bond with your friend aka your language teacher. What better way than to learn the language than with the locals themselves? This is great to learn about new cultures and get an insight into their local lifestyle.
