Travel shows you your inner self.

I think traveling teaches you so many things, so much more than the usual and expected. It teaches you how strong you truly are physically, how much you are able to endure by finishing that walking tour even though you’ve already walked for miles and are extremely jet lagged and beyond exhausted. I've learned I’m capable of a lot more than I ever imagined. It teaches me how strong I am mentally through such a vast array of things, but also how much more opportunity there is to learn.
Travel taught me about my inner self, by showing me my truest desires, and helped me to understand that buzzing feeling in my soul isn’t anxiety but a dire need to wander and explore. Travel helped me to come out of a shell and how to be comfortable just being me in my truest form. Travel isn’t just wonderful for memories, experiences, or learning about new cultures; its wonderful because it teaches you about YOURSELF!
