Travelling is a great eye opener. I’ve been travelling the world for most of my life, but now my gypsy heart is happy to have roots in Western Australia.
But Why Travel?

What life skills do you think you can learn from travelling?
I love all of these reasons, Jo but I’d have to confess that early on in our travels number three was the biggest epiphany! It’s such a relief to be “equalized” by travels and not get into the one-upsmanship conversations about, house, car, profession and whatever else you may have. We’ve made some of our best friends ever on the road by comparing destinations, ideas, cultures and philosophies and things learned. I feel so much richer as a traveler than when I “had it all!” Once you travel there’s always the anticipation of looking ahead to “next time!”
Hi Anita, yes I couldn’t agree more – I love that on the road people cha about ‘destinations, ideas, cultures and philosophies and things learned” rather than homes, cars and careers – so very true, so very refreshing.
Hi Jo. I love this post because travel is in my veins. I live and breath to travel. It has taught me everything and made me who I am today. May the journey never end.
HI Doreen, ahh I know what you mean about travel being in our veins. I’m so glad you loved this post. Thank you 🙂
Yes, yes and yes! All of the above are what travel is all about. It certainly gets you out of your comfort zone and makes you look at people and places from a different point of view. I always return home feeling lucky that I live in such a beautiful place and it has given me a new found appreciation of things I used to take for granted. Like clean water, fresh unpolluted air and decent living conditions. Great post Jo! 🙂
Yes, travelling really does make us realise how lucky we are. I so agree, Kathy. Returning home is always a pleasure. While leaving for an adventure is charged with adrenalin and the excitement of discovery.
I love that shot of the aircraft wing. I always know when that is my view I’m on the way somewhere. Brings back nostalgic feelings. I “dragged” my young son all around the planet starting when he was 4 years old – he used to tell me “all I want is to settle down and have my own family”. Many trips between Australia and Scotland. Too many according to him!
Thanks for the writing and pictures x
Hi Seona, I love your son’s statement about settling down 🙂 Can relate to that 🙂 But like you I do like the sight of an aircraft wing 🙂
