Good morning Steemians...
Hello friends of the #steemit-network community. How are you guys? I hope you are well, my friend. Oh yes, on this occasion, allow me to share my stories and experiences about traveling.
Why should you travel? Everyone has their own opinion about traveling. For me, traveling is another way for me to define life. When you hear the word traveling, what friends have in mind is to go for a walk to a favorite place or a place that has never been visited. The traveling virus spreads uncontrollably. Everyone has the right to travel wherever he wants. The influence of advances in information and communication technology also motivates people to travel. Everyone has their own reasons for traveling, including me.
I have a hobby of traveling since I was a teenager. As a child, my parents often invited me to go for walks in the wild. Indirectly, my parents' passion for traveling has decreased to me. Day after day, time goes on and I'm getting older. I can absorb the meaning of walking activities more and more. It turns out that traveling has made me a better person. Better socially and my self-development. Until this moment I can conclude that there are several reasons why I travel, especially my experience about traveling.
Traveling makes me love Indonesia.
A quote from Soe Hok Gie, a student activist in the 1960s, which reads "A person can only love something in a healthy way if he knows the object. And loving the Indonesian homeland can be grown by getting to know Indonesia and its people closely". This is the main reason for me and inspired to travel.
For me, Indonesia with all its beauty must have hidden various unique things behind it. Of course if Indonesia is beautiful then I will love Indonesia. Behind the beauty of the Indonesian universe, there is definitely life.
Traveling Makes Me Healthy.
I have a special interest in exploring the nature of Indonesia. But that does not mean not interested in culture. Through traveling such as mountain climbing, cycling and beach tourism, I can enjoy clean air. I can also get the health that I get through traveling when I prepare physically before starting the trip.
It is undeniable, of course, traveling requires excellent physical. Therefore I do physical exercises such as jogging, swimming and muscle strength. Another example is when I climb a mountain, sunshine is what I look forward to. As many traveler friends know, morning sunlight is very good for health because it contains vitamins. These are the things that motivate me to keep traveling.
Traveling can add many friends.
Many friends, a lot of sustenance, that's the advantage I get when traveling. Whenever I travel, I always make time to stop by friends' places. From there I made new friends. After that I kept in touch so I could play again if I went there. After traveling, I also don't forget to write travel stories that contain experiences, tips, and other things. Through travel stories that I write on blogs or other media, I can interact with social users through the comments column. These media can add friends to share knowledge and other things.
Traveling is an Event for Learning to Develop Yourself.
Learning for me can not only be done in the classroom, I think that apart from academic ability (Hard skills) being pursued, non-academic abilities (Soft skills) are no less important. For me, non-academic abilities such as adaptation are what are needed besides intelligence. Because adaptation is our first capital to socialize further. In traveling, the ability to adapt can be honed. When traveling, you will definitely meet new people who have different characters. Their perspective is also different.
This is a challenge that must be faced by a traveler. How to deal with the differences that exist. It requires the ability to communicate, appreciate and respect. In addition, traveling can also train patience to deal with everything that happens. Confidence is another goal of my traveling. Those are the things that motivate me to develop myself.
Traveling Captures Life.
Life is like a journey. Journey to reach the destination. One of my goals in life is immortality that goes down in history. Through this trip, I can make history through writings about my journey. The experience when traveling is one thing that I can tell my children later. Just as the Prophet Muhammad emigrated from Mecca to Medina and was recorded, the story is still being read and told to this day. A quote that also inspired me was from a legendary Indonesian writer, Pramoedya Ananta Toer, who stated that "People can be smart as high as the sky. But as long as he doesn't write, he will be lost in society and from history. Writing is work for eternity".
Traveling for me is one way to capture life, one of which is by writing travel stories.
Alright Steemit friends, maybe this is all from my post about traveling. Wait for my presence in the next post, friend.
