What if travel itself is essential to us as human beings? We simply need to move around, to get out and about, reconnect with our loved ones, make memories and see and experience new things.

Here are five reasons that travel itself is essential to all of us. 

#1 We’re curious creatures

Human beings are second only in curiosity to the cat! We love to learn about new people, new things, new places. Travel is essential for expanding our understanding of the world and of all the different inhabitants of the globe. We want to know what life is like outside our home area and there’s no better way to do that than traveling!

#2 We need to relax

If 2020-21 has taught us anything, it’s that blowing off some steam and getting back to relaxing is essential for surviving this crazy world. Staycations are great, but we can be distracted by all the everyday interferences that we’re trying to escape. Simply put, there’s no better way to get away from it all then to actually get away from it all!

#3 We need to connect

Many of us have been “isolating” in one form or another for the better part of a year. Whether you’re avoiding others for health reasons or your office has gone completely remote, the human connection that many of us once had is gone or paused.

Traveling gives us the option to meet new people or connect with those we travel with on a deeper level. Eliminating the stressors of everyday life and turning our focus to our companions helps us form or rekindle that deeper relationship everyone’s looking for. 

#4 Helps us Renew

We’ve been hit hard all of us, but it looks like we’ll make it through! To get ourselves back on track, we need some time to refocus and re-engage with our day to day life. It’s hard to do this without a break and travel helps us do just that. The rejuvenation of mind, body, and soul can help us take on the challenges we face day to day after the vacation is over, not to mention, purging that stress from your body has clinical benefits! 

#5 It Helps Us Appreciate What We Have

We’re all probably a little sick of our homes after the past year. Cooped up for one reason or another while makeshift offices dominate our workdays. Traveling, especially with friends and family for destination weddings, milestone anniversaries, birthdays or whatever the reason, helps us reflect on how good we’ve really got it, either back home or on vacation!
