Why You Should Travel Young
My good ol’ ma just recently sent me an article written by Jeff Goins titled, “Why You Should Travel Young”, and I felt the need to share. In summary, he talks about all the excuses we as humans make to avoid traveling, which include, as he phrases them, the “yea buts”. What about debt? What about my job? What about my boyfriend? Although these are all aspects of our everyday lives and leaving them to experience something otherworldly has the potential to be overwhelming frightening, he says, screw it. These excuses prevent us from experiencing things in our life that we should experience. I’m guilty of this sometimes, but I find that when I take risks or jump on an opportunity to take the road less travelled, I always resurface with a much more worthy experience.
He goes on to say that as young people, we are in the process of shaping ourselves to be what we will ultimately be for the rest of our lives. This got me. We all have our entire lives ahead of us to worry about the “buts” when instead, we should be living and experiencing life, and what we all have here—right at our fingertips—is a worthy experience that many of us will remember for the rest of our lives.
I think it is these things—the experiences that force us out of our comfort zones and off our living room couches—are the things that shape us and push us to become who we will be several years down the road. Whether we’re working for some super fly media/design firm, settling down with family, or continuing to push our limits as we travel the globe, I think all of us should consider ourselves extremely lucky to have been able to have this experience in Ireland with each other. We have three weeks left here, let’s all make the most of it.
To many more adventures to come,
Natalie
