I am a strong believer in Travelling as much as Humanly possible. There is a a Great quote By The italian Saint Augustine

“ The World is a Book, and those who do not travel read only a page. " - Saint Augustine

You learn so much when travelling not just about the world and the places the visit but also about yourself & more importantly the way you view things. I know that sounds strange so here is an example of what i mean.

On my latest trip I went to Krakow, Poland and one day we decided to go and see the concentration camp. to get there we took a Bus that was a converted transit van with about 20 seats, there were no seats left so we had to stand for the 1hr long journey. Definitely not the best of circumstances and it would have been easy to moan about it.

But then it hit me, the irony of the situation. We were maybe 25 people in a large van. But when the Jews and other prisoners of the concentration camp were transported they were in a train carriage smaller than this van and there would be over 100 people to a carriage.

So it effects you in different ways the things you learn and the things you see, it helps you to grow and have informed opinions about things.

I have friends that have never left the country in which they live & that works for them and they are happy after all i do live in a Beautiful country.

But you miss out on the best part of travelling. Or personally my favourite part is the people that you meet. And it really is the cool people that you meet that make the best memories of your Holiday!

The only problem that comes is your own resilience to actually stand up and go and talk to these Amazing people!

So i Urge you to go out see the world and talk to strangers!

Please leave comments if you have anything to add or any good travel stories i would love to hear them!

I will leave you with a few pictures of people we met in Krakow.
