Why People Around the Globe Love to Travel

by Caitlin Boros · February 14, 2017

There are as many reasons why people enjoy travel as there are destinations around the globe. Much like each place, every traveller is unique and has a different reason for doing what they do. To explore what makes globetrotters across the world ‘tick’, we decided to ask a few and have them share just why they love to travel. Here’s what they had to say.

Why we love to travel.

Seyethat benim için kendimi keşftiğim bir dunya.gunluk hayatin koşturmasından uzaklasmak ve yasamin anlamini bulmak icin bire bir!

Travel is like a world which I can discover myself. It is an ideal way to escape the daily rush and find the meaning of life!

-Nazli, Turkey

Un voyage commence dès que naît l’idée de le réaliser. Et étrangement, l’attente jusque l’instant de mettre son sac sur le dos est l’un des moments que je préfère dans un voyage!

A journey begins when an idea is realized. And strangely, waiting for the instant when I get to put my backpack on is one of the moments I look forward to most during my trip!

-Tiphaine, France

I love that travel has enhanced my understanding of my own life and culture by challenging assumptions about what is normal or inherent – it’s also super fun.

-Alexandra, Australia

认识新朋友，学习新的文化，寻找新的口味!

Meet new people, learn new cultures, find new tastes!

-Sherry, Chinese-Canadian

Ciò che più mi affascina del viaggiare è l’imbattermi in qualcosa di cui intuivo inconsciamente l’esistenza ma del quale non avevo mai avuto un’esperienza diretta. Quando questo accade, è come se ritrovassi nel mondo una verità che sentivo dentro di me. Forse è questo il viaggio: l’unione fra il singolo e il mondo.

What fascinates me the most about travelling is to come across something of which I unconsciously sensed the existence of, but of which I never had a direct experience. When this happens, I feel as if I had recovered a truth in the outer world, that I felt inside myself. Maybe that’s what travel is: the reunification between the individual and the outer world.

-Cristiano, Italy

Viajar sirve para ajustar tu imaginación a la realidad, y abrirte con humildad al mundo que te rodea.

Travel helps connect the imagination with reality, and to humbly open oneself to the surrounding world.

-Hugo, Canada (written is his native Spanish)

Kocham podróże,bo dzięki niesamowitym miejscom, ludziom i historiom odkrywam naszą planetę z różnych perspektyw. Poprzez podróże odkrywam także siebie samą-kim jestem, dokąd zmierzam i jak chce budować swoje życie.
I love to travel because thanks to incredible places, people and stories I discover our planet from many different angles. Through travelling I also discover more about myself – who I am, where I go and how I want to build my life.

– Małgorzata, Germany (written in her native Polish)
