Traveling and inner wealth. How to enrichen your trip?

A good trip is always an inspiration, boosts your productivity, and has the power to make changes in your life. Mostly it has to do with the newness one is getting, which lacks in routine life. The transformation during a trip happens naturally but it is also possible to strengthen it and create a greater impact on your life consciously. And when getting back after such a trip the life will begin on a completely different level. Here is what can be done:

1. Get familiar with different cultures. Visiting a country with a culture very different from yours helps extend borders. It is preferable to get acquainted with the new culture, visit the places which are mostly for the locals, avoid staying at the hotel and among the tourists only. Get familiar with the values and how people see things. You do not have to accept everything but allow yourself to see that things might work differently from what you are used to.

2. Learn more about the place you are visiting: culture, history, economy, outstanding people, or achievements. You will see and understand things from a higher level and knowledge will help explain why people do what they do.

3. Be active. Go hiking, walk a lot, try new sports or activities. You will not just have fun but return home in great shape.

4. Get familiar with the local cuisine. Food is not just what we fill our stomach with to exist, it reflects culture, traditions, and what people like. It may be something you would never be able to try somewhere else, so use the opportunity. Explore and stay safe, check for recommendations of the place where you eat, avoid overeating of something totally new, it may cause discomfort.

5. Learn the basics of the local language. You do not have to speak it but it will be a great experience for you, train your memory and brain. And locals will be always friendlier if they see you trying.

6. Look around. Everywhere things are a little bit different, traveling usually makes people more attentive. They are in a new place and they tend to look around. Notice the things you like and reduplicate them at home.

7. Make new friends. Even if you are traveling with other people, be opened to new acquaintances. Understanding that you may meet people with similar values and be close despite the distance makes it feel like the whole world is a whole organism and it has no real borders.

8. Be open to new impressions and emotions. They might be from an interesting excursion or from just sitting on a hotel terrace and enjoying coffee. Relax and take a moment to enjoy, feel the changes inside. Be aware of the transformation you are getting, observe it but without being obsessed about it. Just enjoy the ride.
