Traveling Is More Than Just Getting From A to B

Abstract

Traveling is not just a means for moving about; traveling is a pleasure. There are few people who do not like to travel. Traveling can mean visiting your family just a few miles away, and traveling can mean going around the world. But deep down, it is all the same: traveling. One of the oldest known examples is that of Herodotus, who traveled around the known world of the time, observing and reporting everything he saw. This provided the travelers and readers at the time with a treasury of geographical and etymological information. Another of the attractions of antiquity lay in the 7 wonders; most of which have since been destroyed but many people came from all over the world to see them. And later came the Romans, the Middle Ages with the Crusades, and the discovery of America. But it is Thomas Cook who is seen as the father of organized tourism after he chartered a train at reduced rates from Leicester to Loughborough, England for 540 people to attend a temperance meeting. And that is because we have always wanted to travel... But a journey does not only imply getting from one place to another. It is much more than that! For many of us there is nothing more gratifying than planning a journey, thinking about it all the time, dedicating ourselves heart and soul to all the preparation it needs. And finally, traveling! Because we all know too well that satisfaction lies in achieving your expectations as far as possible. And one easy way to achieve personal satisfaction is to travel, as your expectations will be readily achieved: enjoying the journey. By traveling you get to know the world, traveling, you discover monuments, squares, museums, theaters, parks, gardens; traveling opens your mind, it opens many doors to you, and forces you to be critical. In fact, through travel you get to know yourself and what you would really like to be, where we would like to live, where you would like to dream, where you would like to make your dreams come true. And it is that merely by traveling, you are already making one of your dreams come true: you are traveling. Traveling Is More Than Just Getting From A to B
