I love to travel but unfortunately I have never been to anywhere beyond southern part of my country. Main reason being financial issues. But when we speak of financial issues as a reason, I think we are betraying ourselves. I have heard anecdotes of explorers who haven't had enough money but accomplished seeing the world just because of their passion!
Elderly women living in the villages of my country are the most unfortunate beings I would say. Their birth, life and death everything happens in the confinement of their small village. When compared to them I'm very fortunate atleast to see the sea!
One big thing travel provides us is a broad perspective. People who have travelled a lot tend to show some maturity when it comes to serious issues. One need to travel to space inorder to admit how silly we are!
