Traveling has its own kinds and types. There are those who travel just for fun, while there are others who do it to escape pressure in their daily lives. This post will deal with the reasons people travel and the variety of intentions they do it with.
Hobby
You may be someone whose mainstream hobby is to travel. Yes, you read that right. Like playing guitar, ice skating or reading books, traveling has now become one of people’s popular hobbies. People take pride in covering the weirdest, the exotic and the undiscovered places and add it to their list of accomplishments. With sufficient experience, they become masters of this hobby.
Fun
You could be someone who simply looks for fun in his life. You have this habit of discovering thrill in anything in life. What better way to have fun than travel, right? This category of people is different from the first category mentioned in the sense that while the former does it out of habit, the latter does it randomly and without any previous planning.
Escape
Sometimes life takes too much of its toll on you. You cannot wait to get done with the pressure and the burdens that are being impose on your fragile minds and shoulders. Be it your workplace or your home. Students, office workers, housewives, – anyone could be a victim of the pressure daily life has on them. It becomes understandable when people pick up their rucksack and randomly travel to a distant destination for weeks.
Bucket-Lists
Then there are those travelers who have the simple aim of ticking off places from their bucket lists. There are always locales around the world that one must have always dreamt of going to. Traveling there stays a dream till they decide to get up and do something about it. Someone interested in history would like to visit Asian countries or places like Egypt. Someone whose fascination is tall buildings would prefer a place like Dubai.
Retirement
Traveling is like love- there is no age limit for it. There are many travelers who wait for their working days to get over so they could happily travel wherever they wish to. Such people stack their savings throughout their lives and use it all up after they retire.
Going traveling after retirement is a way of self-treating. You kind of deserve your long desired destination after you have worked for it all these years.
Celebration
Those financially well off choose to celebrate special occasions by traveling to their favorite place over the weekend or the summer vacations. They choose to celebrate their special moments with their closed ones in a place they think is most fitting for it. This celebration could range from birthdays to anniversaries.
Interests
You would be surprised to realize that there are people in this world who travel simply because they love to meet people from different parts of the world. We all have our quirks. Harry may like collecting stamps while Frank may love reading about great personalities of the world. Similarly, there are people whose only joy in life is to get familiar with the various cultures and religions spread over the face of our planet.
In a nutshell, for whatever purpose it may be, traveling is definitely a good way to deviate yourself from your mundane lives. Some see it as a way to eave problems while others seek the pure thrill of it all. Regardless of what purpose you have to travel, the very experience of packing a bag and treading on to a destination is an amazing experience in itself.
