Do You Think Traveling Is Overrated?

Yes and No.

Yes.

Many people travel the world to “find themselves”. They believe to create amazing experiences that teach them everything they have to know about themselves.

While this does happen, you can easily facilitate the same things at home if you just sat down with yourself to think about it who you are and what you want.

“At home there are too many distractions to do this” they’ll answer, but the truth is that it’s them who allow these distractions in and who do not make the time for these experiences.

In this sense, traveling around the world is an escape mechanism from that responsibility.

However, it is definitely one of the better ones.

That being said, there are still those that distract themselves from all of their life and problems, and use their traveling as a way to run away from what they must do or what choices they have to face.

They travel to stumble upon amazing experiences instead of taking the initiative to create them at home, travel to see enough beauty and amazing sights that make them forget about life for a little longer, and all of it is accepted and even encouraged by the world, making it something that raises their standing among family and friends.
