The world is a book and if you’ve only been in one country, you’ve only read a total of one chapter.
Traveling gives you the chance to explore new things, eat good food, experience different cultures, and develop new insights.
You become more well rounded and interesting as a person.
You develop fun stories to tell and further broaden your horizons.
It also gives you a good reason to spoil yourself and indulge in things you normally wouldn’t, because you deserve it.
Although I do think that traveling can be overrated, it has many benefits.
It gives you a getaway, a break, and a switch from the daily routine. Probably one of the biggest benefits in my opinion. It seems that many of us tend to fall into the same life of wake up, go to work, sleep, repeat. I believe there is a lot more to life than this.
Combine making traveling a point along with elevating your career and life.
As you work more, build and develop your skillset, you will have more opportunity to live and enjoy the finer things.
If you are capable of getting a high paying job, you should make it a point to further expand your insights and travel.
Everyone reading this right now is capable of getting a high paying job.
Like I say over and over, you need to put in the work, develop your skillsets, and build.
These are some of the thoughts that I’ve been having lately regarding travel.
As a Mechanical Engineer and as a Business Owner, I’m extremely busy day to day.
I find myself not wanting to travel because “I’m too busy and focused on my work”.
I even say things like I generally enjoy working more than vacation, which is actually true and another topic down the line.
There’s something that just feels extremely good about building. Many will not agree with me on this.
My mindset on traveling has changed from my Cancun 2024 Trip such that traveling gives me an incentive to work harder.
There needs to be a reason why you’re getting a high paying job.
You should not be getting a high paying job, just to get a high paying job.
You need to make use of that money.
This will be a static page where I add my insights and experiences of travel.
It will be updated as I continue to travel to new countries internationally and even new states domestically.
I’ve actually been to a fair amount of countries such as Thailand, Cambodia, Nicaragua, Japan, Philippines, Mexico, Canada, and more.
I feel very fortunate and grateful that I’ve been able to set my life up such that I can enjoy travel.
There’s not much on this page now, but continue to look back every few months or within a year.
