Travel and Happiness

Sometimes you need more happiness than just simple everyday happiness. Even though it simple everyday happiness is valuable, sometimes people need something a little extra special, like those extra special times when you travel.

Travelling can be a very amazing experience where you will be very happy, and even afterwards, remembering your travels creates happiness. So, if you have never travelled, or it has been forever since you have been somewhere out of the ordinary, get away.

True, travelling can be expensive. However, you don’t have to go on an expensive trip to receive the value of trips that even millionaires take. One time I travelled all of forty minutes down the road and spent ten dollars a night on a campsite with some friends. We all had amazing time, despite rainy weather. The place we were was different than we were used to, and when it all comes down to it, a beach is a beach. You don’t need a thousand dollar plane ticket to experience a beach.

You also don’t have to travel for entirely touristic reasons either. The greatest trip I have gone on was to Belize to work with a dedicated group of people to make the lives of the people who lived there a little better. We camped in the jungle for a week in a bit, the rivers were our only source of cleanliness, and a shovel was used to create the “washroom”. Still, those nights after long day worth of work, sitting in the jungle and listening to the monkeys and looking up at more stars than I have ever seen in my life because there was no light pollution were breathtaking.

However, sometimes people could use a little time dedicated to just them, and travelling is just the thing to do that. So head down to the sunny south sometime, or go on a cruise. These things can take a while to save up for, but in the long run, they are amazing vacations. You can also learn a lot when you travel, and every place has some kind of history that you can learn. Travelling is a very fulfilling experience.

So get out that old tent and rent a campsite for a weekend. Or go on that dream vacation overseas. Or pile into the family van and see how long it takes you to get to Florida. Get out there and do a little travelling and it will make life a little happier than it already is. Be happy.
