Why do i chose to travel? Well there are several reasons why i chose to travel. One being the fact that traveling is so much fun. No matter where i go i always seen to be able to find some enjoyment out of it. Swimming in a new place,tasting a new food,finding a new treasure, these are all fun things to do as we travel. In fact if traveling wasn't fun i don't think i would do it at all, but that is just the thing traveling is always fun, or at least for me. Lyer being a great traveler himself may disagree with my thoughts,Lyer seems to think traveling is only just for fun. Lyer says the traveler travels to get away from himself and to find himself. Confusing? Yes, but i get what he is saying we travel to test our character and test what type of person we our. And in that respect i guess i agree i too love to travel to test my limits, i simply just have a great time while testing myself.
You see every time i travel i want to experience new things, i want to go on a new adventure, that is what traveling means to me. As Lyer put it i like to see the world through "new eyes". Every time people travel they have a tendency to compare and contrast everything. "This place is nice but that one is better," type deal. Well i hate when people do that, because i believe it is a foolish idea to ever compare and contrast. The two things are not the same thus trying to compare them is nothing more then a waste of time. People when traveling need to get out of their comfort zones and take what they experience as a unique substance all its own. When we travel we should take everything for what it is, see everything with "new eyes". That is what i think Lyer was tyring to say, and i agree with him.
We as traveler need to step outside our own personal bubbles. The world can not fit into our bubble, no we must step outside in order to see the world for what it truly is. Lyer says "what gives value to travel is fear," this by all means is truth. If a traveler near steps out of his comfort zone to experience the world he or she will never truly traveler the world. It is that slight fear of tasting a new food and not knowing what its flavors are that make a new treat so deilious. It is the fear of failing at something new that make mastering it so rewarding. This is how fear makes ones travels have value.
It is not fear alone which brings value and worth to traveling however. Several means bring a true adventure to an end. Another thing the traveler consistently forgets is he or she is not traveling only for themselves but for the the place they travel to also. What i mean by this is the traveler must be as Lyer put it, "a carrier pigeon", something that both carriers with it something from where it came and back from whence it traveled. A traveler can not expect to take as much as they want from a place unless they to are willing to give. A traveler a mean to say must learn as much as he can from the new world he visits and in exchange let the new world know about him.
As Lyer put it, "even those who don't move around the world find the world moving around them", for the travelers of the world can it as they go through it. This quote tells the tell of a city block becoming a neighborhood in America, of a tower gone famous in France, this quote shows how the traveler has change the world. If the traveler had only taken from the places he had visited then those places would no longer be beautiful, but because the traveler gave and traded his experiences he has forever enhanced the beauty of the world. This is why people travel, why i travel. I want to not only test myself and have fun but also learn and share my knowledge with the world.
