Be a traveller. Not a tourist. Traveller keeps an attitude to learn, to soak, to absorb and to assimilate. While a tourist is looking at the same experiences from a superficial lens, a traveller goes deeper and imbibes from one’s travels.
And not just from one or two travels. Being a traveller means to pick from everyone, everywhere, everyplace. From every experience, good or bad, small or big. Afterall nothing is permanent except what you gain out of it and what you become. What becomes part of you stays with you while all else is temporary. We pass through our travels in life like a traveller in a bullet train; zooming past people, events, landscapes.
A traveller yearns to soak in traditions, rituals, food from his travels. Even life lessons, friendships, situations and one’s own reactions. It’s a state of constant learning by being humble, aware and reciprocative.
A traveller builds resilience, feeds curiosity and develops oneself in ways unknown. It could be self discovery or exploration to be more, do more. Basically being a traveller lets you live many lives within one life!
