I love travelling because it acts as a getaway from my normal life. Now don’t get me wrong, but I personally do NOT like travelling to hill stations and forests full of trees and nature. It’s not my definition of a getaway. Now before you start judging me, there’s a reason for it. Every time I go there, I start getting apprehensive of all the things that might happen (forest fires, car accidents, animal attacks, etc). When I travel to remote places; I feel unprotected, unsafe, defenceless, insecure and vulnerable. I feel so exposed to the place, and I feel as though I can’t protect myself from it... ever. It’s one of my BIGGEST fears.

I love travelling to bustling cities with a large amount of people, skyscrapers, malls, apartments, coffee shops around every corner, and a crazy amount of traffic. This is my definition of a getaway. Now you may ask ‘How are you not apprehensive of all the things that might happen in this city? I mean there are way more bad things that can happen here than in a forest’. Well, I guess it’s because ‘quiet time’ is not exactly my definition of a getaway. I thrive under noisy and crazy situations (this doesn't mean I don't want my share of quiet time. I need my quiet time too people!). And it’s because I feel so protected and secure in these surroundings. It might sound weird but it makes sense to me. I mean, like the reason I’m getting apprehensive in remote areas is because there is no one around there to reassure me. But in the cities, I see all those people around me who don’t give a damn about what’s around them and just go on with their lives. That reassures me. And that’s why I love travelling to bustling and cosmopolitan cities and not remote areas.

As you guys probably know, I love travelling so much! I am fond of travel because it rejuvenates me, inspires me, helps me be spry and helps me experience adventures! Travelling comforts me and it puts my mind away from being anxious or worried etc. I love travelling to different kinds of places. A place like island, resorts and hill stations makes me relax, be carefree and makes me feel revived. I also adore travelling to buzzing and vibrant places. It makes me be zippy and zappy. And most certainly I love shopping there (Oh yeah, me too!).

And of course I enjoy travelling to exotic, strange places. I love exploring contrasting and divergent people, culture etc. Those memories are precious because you experience something so different. Like experiencing those places and people throws out your shielded views. It can give you a new perspective. It can inspire you because you meet diverse people. People who are vulnerable or enthralling or sad or enthusiastic or influencing etc. If you just learn about them, only if you experience those places, it is complete. So yeah, well you know what I just love travelling to various places in general.

That’s all for today’s post guys. Hope you liked it! And stay tuned for more entrancing content!!!

Wonder and Wander,
