2 . Why do people travel? There are many reasons one can think of when asked questions like this.

To travel far enough to meet yourself

Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere.     1     You find out your abilities. When you are offered a different lifestyle, you can find out what you are made of. The farther you go from your home, the nearer you come to your true self.

    2    

If you look back at all the amazing memories of your life, you will realize that most of them were out of your comfort zone. Travelling is dangerous, full of life threatening possibilities and will not always be comfortable, but at the same time, it gives irreplaceable memories.

To slow down and relax

A wise man once said that never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life. Money is worth nothing if you cannot spend it on a little adventure. While we are deeply involved in making money, we forget that time is going through our fingers.     3     The feeling of being away from your workplace is pure happiness. The feeling of not having to worry about the never ending piles of files is pure joy.     4    

To celebrate life

Life is short and the world is wide. One day you might wake up and realize that you don’t have time to do everything that you have always wanted to do, anymore. Once in a while, make time to appreciate the fact that you are alive, young, free and healthy.     5    

A．To become a storyteller.

B．Travelling lets you discover yourself.

C．To break through your comfort zone.

D．So, go travelling to celebrate life itself.

E．You can relate to the world and connect to others.

F．And the feeling of being away from your boss for a few days is pure pleasure.

G．Escape life for a little while because experience is far more valuable than money.
