Travel takes you to another horizon of life experiences. Somebody who really likes traveling is much open-minded, approachable, adjusting, flexible, courageous and daring in nature. This is because without these traits, it is not possible to become a good traveller. When you travel to different places, you come out of the shell of a closed mindset in a certain society and explore several new aspects of life. You grow, you learn, and get over different situations in life.

Travelogues have often turned out to become the best reading material for somebody who loves to explore the details of this complex world. Let us throw some lights on the live and perceptions of any real traveller:

Popularity of the Location Does Not Matter – Nowadays, there is a trend among people to go to a few popular places and have some fun there, later showcasing the same as the status symbol on social media. In reality, popularity of a place is not a measurement for a real traveller that he/she must visit there or not. He/She would visit every possible location, whether it is well-known or not, to understand that place’s specialities, routes, culture etc. He/She has the same excitement for an ordinary place just like that for an acclaimed place. It has often been noticed that travellers visit some unknown valleys or cities and explore those to write their experiences, later those experiences make such locations very popular.

Appreciative of Almost Everything – Since a traveller visits different places, his/her idea of life and people is much wider than that of an ordinary person. He/She would always accept the adverse situations with equal enthusiasm and challenging approach. This makes him/her more powerful and appreciative of every person, place, culture and situations. He/She has better topics to talk upon rather than petty talks about people’s personal lives.

Adventure is Life – Being adventurous is a trait of a traveller but adventure is not just defined by a few sports or activities. For them, adventure means discovering even the challenging aspects of a place, surviving in a location where life is tough, being aware of everything and making people aware of the same. However, at large, travellers are sporty and enjoy adventurous activities. They take it as a new and compulsory task of the trip and give their maximum possible to it. Also, a frequent and real traveller is often the best guide for other new travellers.

No Interest in Worldly Affairs – A traveller is not exactly but almost a saint because he/she has no interest in petty affairs of the world. He/She aims to discover nature and culture and collects money for the same, instead of building a villa or owning a luxury car. He/She has enough adjustment powers and does not feel sad when faces any tough situation while living in an unknown place. He/She takes it as a learning session and criticises the least. Travellers might not be rich by their bank balances or assets but they are rich enough to have explored every possible type of living and so they would not lack anything in any situation.

Friendly in Nature – A traveller is mostly friendly and open in nature because he/she has to make things according to himself/herself at any place for surviving there. However, this is not the sole reason of a traveller’s friendliness. Instead, he/she is like that because he/she loves people, likes to learn from them, help them to grow mentally and also capture some memorable moments with them at a certain place. No matter how much you read about a place from a book, you really learn from the people there because they show the practicalities to you.

Every Culture Attracts a Traveller – While a layman would form opinions about a certain culture, a traveller’s approach is different. He/She admires every culture and takes interest in studying the same; not only through books but also in reality by approaching people, following some practices of the culture to know about those in detail and a lot more.

Being a Big-Time Foodie is Common Among Travellers – Every traveller has different niche and approaches but most of them are foodies. Some are interested in travelling just for exploring the culinary riches of a place. The credit of internationalising the local dishes of different countries must surely go to travellers, apart from the food venture entrepreneurs. Most of the food blogs are written by frequent travellers.

Travellers are Often Free from Stress – Travellers take life in a flow, when they feel heavy, they just pack bags and go out for some stressbuster. This helps them to get over the sad phases of life and remain stress-free. That might be the possible reason why unhealthy or depressed people are advised by doctors to travel.
