Hassan Boufrat the content creator, said that there are many people who love to travel constantly, to enjoy and go on various adventures, in addition to well-known forms of entertainment, such as practicing certain activities or tasting various foods.
Hassan Boufrat added that in addition to the apparent benefits of travel in terms of enjoying different experiences, it helps in the growth of the individual and the expansion of his awareness. It also contributes significantly to shaping his awareness and viewpoints towards many matters, through several axes explained by the content creator, Hassan Boufrah, as follows:
communication skills
Every time you travel to a new place, you learn at least a small part of its language, by interacting with the local people.
In addition to language, constant interactions with new people help develop communication skills, learn how to get along with others, and find the best ways to communicate ideas.
Managing financial matters
Traveling requires advance planning for each trip, including knowing the currency and travel costs, and calculating the desired amount according to the number of days of stay and the required expenses.
Over time, all of these things develop the individual’s ability to properly manage financial transactions in various matters, from the simplest to the most complex.
Learn more about yourself
Traveling alone or with groups helps to discover oneself and get out of the routine and the individual’s safe zone, and with exposure to different experiences, the individual’s thinking changes and he learns more about everything that surrounds him and about himself.
Discover new cultures
Without getting to know new cultures, it is easy to take your lifestyle as a fixed base, and traveling allows the individual to discover cultures and learn about different forms of life, and the appropriate way for each society according to its way of living.
And from it, everything that suits the individual can be selected to apply and benefit from it.
What are the benefits of traveling abroad
Human brains are naturally capable of empathy, the ability to feel the pain of others, which helps us form healthy relationships. However, this skill must be practiced constantly to enhance it.
Although the spread of media and social networking has made us more exposed to the news and details of the lives of people from all over the world, and has made us more aware of the difficulties of life in different countries and cultures, our excessive exposure to news and information threatens to make us lose interest or the ability to empathize with others.
Because traveling abroad makes us live outside our comfort zone, and exposes us to different people and unusual situations, it enhances our ability to empathize with more people. Also, there is another benefit on this level associated with living abroad for a while, specifically with regard to learning another language from a young age. It has been shown that speaking more than one language makes us more able to empathize with others, especially when the brain becomes accustomed to switching between languages, and thus moving between points of view.
Travel deepens our understanding of life
Traveling makes you better understand incomprehensible things. It also makes you challenge stereotypes and beliefs that you may have carried for many years. It also colors our perspective on many things in life. Dealing with certain cultures or living through certain experiences will arm you with more accurate information about different civilizations compared to what you may know from stories you have heard about others. As you deal with different cultures and understand them without necessarily accepting everything in them, you will become kinder and less inclined to judge others when dealing with the world.
Living abroad increases your understanding of yourself
When you become more open to others, you become more open to yourself. A study showed that living abroad, where you can compare your values with the values you encounter while living in different situations and dealing with different people, makes you better understand yourself and less stressed. Although this study focused on life abroad and not just travel, traveling for a longer period in an environment of the country's indigenous population will have the same effect on you.
Also, traveling contributes to enhancing cognitive flexibility in your brain, which is a term used by psychologists to refer to the ability to move between ideas. Travel helps with this by challenging the ways in which we are accustomed to seeing or doing things. In this way, our creative skills will also develop.
Traveling makes us more creative
Creativity is an essential skill in today's labor market, where new jobs are created very quickly, and many routine and repetitive professional tasks are eliminated, and machines have become more capable of performing them effectively. Creativity is an essential skill in solving complex global challenges, and in continuing to innovate in business and science.
Traveling is an exciting, inspiring and entertaining experience, and our generation is truly lucky because we live in days where travel is much easier than in the past in terms of speed and cost. Today, more people travel than ever before, and the number of people who travel annually reaches 18.1 billion.
Although short trips abroad to enjoy beaches or resorts for a few days are a great way to relax, traveling for longer periods and living abroad is the perfect experience to change your outlook on the world and even your way of thinking in a way that will make you a better person.
