“Not all those who wander are lost.” – J.R.R Tolkien Truer words have never been spoken. Travelling shouldn’t be a chore. It shouldn’t be an escape. It shouldn’t be a rush to a destination. One must travel for travel’s sake. Because travelling changes who we are for the better. In more ways than one.

You start believing in yourself.

After doing something as awesome as back-packing through North-East India all by yourself, you find reserves of self-confidence that you never even imagined you had in the first place.

You contract a condition known as wanderlust.

Once you get bitten by the travelling bug, there is no looking back. Travelling becomes a necessity, not a distraction. Wanderlust becomes your reality.
