I agree! Travelling is not about the number of stamps or just for the sake of adding one place at a time ticking your bucket list. When we travel we really love to enjoy and explore the place. As much as possible, hanging out with the locals is great to learn more about the place amd culture. I would to stay in a country for a couple of days to really see and feel what its like living there at the moment...
ReplyDeleteI am guilty of this! I must admit. I fell in love with travelling basically when I was a kid and it has been my dream to go to as many countries I can! My goal was fueled even more when I started to earn money of my own. But, I noticed when I hit my 30s, I enjoy taking my time in loving and appreciating places I go to - more than being in a hurry, rushing to a new place just for the sake of collecting passport stamps. I am loving how to explore and discover cultures, lifestyle of people in different places more.
ReplyDeleteI so got your point. You're right. We should explore the world and go to places we would love to see and experience. More than the scenic view, its experiencing the culture and food offering. Oh, how I would I could travel. I used to travel a lot before. But after getting myself pregnant, I stay at home to look after my son. Now, I am looking forward to explore more places with my boys. Cant wait for them to grow up real soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great article that you have shared with us. I like how you see things about traveling not for the same of passport stamps in which I agree with all your points. Just like you, I love to travel not because of anything, but because of the idea itself. There's nothing compare when you get to experience the in and out of the place, it's more than the passport stamp and the beautiful photo. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
ReplyDeleteTotally! Though some of my relatives have this attitude. It disappointed me since it has been a dream of mine to really connect with the place in case we travel. Doing it just for the sake of the stamps defeats the purpose of "traveling" or even journeying to the place. I do hope it will never be too late for them to change their mindset about it.
ReplyDeleteBtw, I so love your photos!
I totally agree with you on this! In my country, there are some offers from the agencies to drive you to the neighboring countries and bring you back home in 24 hours for ridiculously low price. But, what do I gain from such a journey? I guess only spending the time in the bus and waiting for the next stop on the gas station.
ReplyDeleteAs you said, researching the entire city and getting to know its soul is far better than seeing 5 cities through the glass of your bus.
True.Travelling is not just for passport stamps or for a list of countries.Instead it is an opportunity to explore,people,culture and places.We always love to experience the local life.At the same time we love to visit historical places too while learning the history or origin of the attraction.Great post!
ReplyDeleteI'm guilty, probably. Because in a span of 10days, we went to 4 countries, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. But it was still fun! We didn't to see all of the places in every country but we surely enjoyed being in one. The good thing was that we always make sure we have a good sleep every day. So for that 10 days, 7-8hrs sleep everyday, plus the places we've been at a time, it's still enjoyable. :)
ReplyDeleteCorrect! I know a person or two who does that. They just both like to show off. It's like the same as counting how many province in the country you've visited just to say you've been around PH.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your points shared here. Travelling is an awesome journey to explore but not in a rush...that's the reason I rarely joined any tours, but on my own backpacking style. I can slowly spent my travel time to appreciate the local people, values, cultures etc. Cheers, SiennyLovesDrawing
ReplyDeleteYou are right one must not visit just for the sake of ticking it off the list. I believe in slow travel. I prefer to halt in different cities of same country for longer duration. I liked how you validated your arguments.
