Travel for your Health

Travel for your Health

There are some of us that consider our passport not as a legal document, but as a prize possession, a passport to bliss. We are the world’s wanderlusters. In need of recharging after exhausting, endless days gazing blindly into a computer screen, some travel to lands afar seeking wellness at the hands of ancient healing masters.

The artists carefully clean their camera lenses, artfully sharpen their charcoal pencils, grasp the notebook by its binding, and wander abroad to gather and re-inspire our imagination. Captivated by the mystery of culture shock, we file in with others in a place that shakes the core of our comfort zone. We prepare, we plan, we dream of each adventure.

There is a certain health that comes with the inherent desire to wander through the world’s mysterious lands. Travelers are secretly controlled by the hand of adventure, to us, it predicates normality. Travel is food, and food is fuel. We become mindful, our hearts gauge warmth, and we are reacquainted with our true selves.

Most of us can attest that wandering foreign streets heals our physical bodies as well. Eating foods we cannot pronounce, with ingredients we have never heard of, invigorated from the flavors of the world. We meander for days through countryside’s and city streets, sleeping a little less, eating a little less, exercising a bit more. It is childlike.

And after a hearty dose of travel, the summit draws near and we find ourselves standing before the world equipped with a pure sense of joy. It is the freest moment that we know, where we find our deepest health. And with a healthy mind, the rest tends to follow.

For some of us, wandering is the very root of our livelihood. The equivalent of putting on our oxygen mask before helping others on a falling plane. This is when we feel alive, useful... purposeful. This is when we are following bliss.
