여행의 즐거움

여행은 단순하게 구경하고 배우는 것이 아니라.. 그 자체가 하나의 수행의 측면도 있어 보인다.

The Joy of travelling.

On the surface, travelling seems disruptive. It interrupts one’s family and work obligations. It also drains one’s finances. 

 

However, travelling offers people a significant return on these investments.

First, there is the satisfying feeling of being connected to other people and to the world.

Then, there is the improved cultural understanding and higher stress threshold.

 

Seeing amazing architecture, admiring century’s old art and tasting new food is addictive in the best sense of the world.

 

The length of journey measured in both time and distance is irrelevant. What matters is that your trip makes you feel alive, feels you a joy and provides a lifetime of memory. 

 

Travelling requires making a multitude of decisions. This is especially true given the COVID19 pandemic.

But the more you do it, the easier it becomes. And soon making these complex decisions will become second nature. What’s more, you will be able to apply this decision making process to other areas of your life.

 

Also, travelling with a partner can help your relationship. When you travel with a partner you get to know that person on a deeper level. Your true self shines through, as does your partner's. Key to the success of travelling with a partner is compromise. This can open your eyes to another side of travel that you may not have experienced on your own.
