‘Travelling’, the word we might have heard millions of times in our life. Travelling doesn’t always mean long hours journey, it can also be a short journey of a few hours. The excitement of travelling doesn’t only lie in the duration but also the places covered and the experiences we had. Some people think is there any need for travelling? It is a mere wastage of money and time. But for me, travelling is something which gives pleasure, excites my adrenaline, pumps my thrill, gives me the courage to face new challenges on my journey and helps to improve my communication skills. I have learnt and heard a lot about each and every place but that knowledge is not sufficient for me, I like to know more and experience the beauty of those places. There is also a saying in the Asian proverb that “Better to See Something Once than Hear about it a Thousand Times” and it is absolutely true and it perfectly describes the essence of travelling. Travelling always gives enjoyment and memories. Happiness increases when the journey is with our dear ones, especially with our loving family. According to Dr Seus “Sometimes You will Never Know the Value of a Moment Until it Becomes Memory.” It is true that no one in the world is permanent, so it is the duty of each individual to live each day happily and give the best.
