Why I Adventure Travel

“So what, what will travel do for me, why travel? I’m perfectly comfortable staying local”. This is a common perspective of many individuals. However, I encourage everyone to leave their comfort zone every once in a while and learn through exploration and grow through adversity. While not everyone is geared to travel, I feel compelled to advocate its benefits.

I’d like to think cultural and introspective discovery sits at the heart of it all. To understand a culture and introspectively understand your roots, one should consider three key areas when adventure traveling: The People, The History, and The Food.

The People: First and foremost, gaining an appreciation for the people through social and non-verbal interaction is the most important aspect.

Yes, that may include a little social lubricant (alcohol) along the way.

It can be difficult to initiate conversations with strangers, especially when you are an introvert, but it you have a lot more fun and experience more when you are open to talking to new people. You inevitably learn as well!

The History: No matter whether it’s language, religion, or any aspect of a culture, our current civilization is a direct reflection of the chapters of our past.

The value one can learn through history is evident in a culture’s architecture, attiree, food, and so much more.

Therefore, one should avoid neglecting the historical aspect of your travels.

The Food: Food is like a picture worth a 1,000 words with a side of 1,000 more.

Food can speak volumes about a society. It complements history and tells stories about the people throughout time.

Certain recipes have been around for ages, yet others have recently developed via cultural blending in a newly globalized society.

This being said, food is an essential aspect of any cultural immersion no matter where you may find yourself.
