Yes I have seen places beautiful in fact far more beautiful than Zanzibar yet I have refused to have any of them interfere with my love for the stone City! Not until I have experienced this place will my mind be open for other places!

Why can't relationships be like that? Like you see all kinds of beauty every day but have your mind focus on one! What a beautiful world it would be🤔

Still on Zanzibar. The stone City...the blue waters and clear sky🙌
What are some of those things one needs to do in order to realise their dreams of traveling especially for the low income earners?
I may have not interacted much with the western world but I got to learn that these people take traveling seriously. They save for a trip atleast a year.
How do you go about it?

WELLNESS
Yes there is wellness in travelling. Scientifically proven and it it is good for an able bodied person and strong, how much more will it be for you and me???

The average resident of the UK has visited 10 countries, Germans have seen eight, and the French traveled to five nations on average. But Americans? They tend to visit just three. In fact, 29 percent of American adult life. How about an average Ugandan? 😁

Traveling isn’t just fun and exciting; there’s ample research to suggest it’s highly beneficial for your physical, mental and emotional health as well.

Let’s dive in and take a look at some of the health benefits that researchers have explored and verified scientifically.

1. Travel Makes You Healthier
According to a joint study from the Global Commission on Aging and Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, in partnership with the U.S. Travel Association, travelingactually keeps you healthier. The study found that women who vacation at least twice a year show a significantly lower risk of suffering a heart attack than those who only travel every six years or so.

The same is true for men. Men who do not take an annual vacation show a 20 percent higher risk of death and 30 percent greater risk of heart disease.

2. Travel Relieves Stress
Although missing a connecting flight or losing baggage in a foreign airport is sure to boost your anxiety, traveling has been scientifically proven to lower stress levels, and rather dramatically.

According to one study, three days after taking a vacation, travelers report feeling less anxious, more rested and in a better mood. Interestingly, these benefits tend to linger for weeks after the trip has ended.

3. Travel Enhances Your Creativity
“Foreign experiences increase both cognitive flexibility and depth and integrativeness of thought, the ability to make deep connections between disparate forms,”explains Adam Galinsky, a professor at Columbia Business School who hasauthored a number of studies that investigate the concrete links between creativity and international travel.

Travel alone isn’t enough, however. Galinsky has found that international travelers have to be purposeful about engaging.

“The key, critical process is multicultural engagement, immersion and adaptation,” he continues. “Someone who lives abroad and doesn’t engage with the local culture will likely get less of a creative boost than someone who travels abroad and really engages in the local environment.”

4. Travel Boosts Happiness and Satisfaction
Most people tend to be happier when they’re traveling and don’t have to worry about work, of course. However, one of the more interesting takeawaysfrom a Cornell University study is that people also experience a direct increase in happiness from just planning a trip.

Three days after taking a vacation, travelers report feeling less anxious, more rested and in a better mood.

The study found that the anticipation of taking a vacation is far greater than the anticipation of acquiring a physical possession. Thus, the benefits of traveling abroad begin well before the trip does.

5. Travel Lowers the Risk of Depression
While people tend to avoid the subject in our society, depression is unfortunately a major problem. Millions of Americans struggle with depression on a regular basis and it’s not uncommon for doctors to overprescribe medication for depression.

A study from the Marshfield Clinic in Wisconsin found that women who vacation at least twice a year areless likely to suffer from depression and chronic stress than women who vacation less than once every two years.

Where Will Your Travels Take You This Year?
So there are clear, scientifically-backed health benefits of traveling the world. Mentally, physically and emotionallly.

If you want to enjoy the scientifically proven health benefits of travel abroad, you should start planning a trip. Whether you go to London, Cape Town, Lucerne, Auckland, or somewhere entirely different, boarding a plane and flying to a foreign destination where you’re equal parts excited and intimidated is great for your growth and development.

Where will you go?

Travelling and meeting new people should be a vital part of everyone's life. Its a luxury but a very important one that should be taken seriously.
I know that in our current lives as persons with disability there are priorities when it comes to the little finances that we get here and there. We look at the costs of those trips and go like that is no longer ago zone for me. Like if i spent all that money on a trip, eat drink sleep, what will i go back home to eat?
Yes this goes through my mind too most of the time and yet i have that part of me that desires to be on the road all the time. Its in born. Its been there with me always.
My walking days i would sit in a bus for a 6 hours journey up country, enjoy the trip and not feel like i had done anything after the trip. I never understood when people sat in a car for 2 to 3 hours and cried of how tired they were, I always asked whether they had walked or had to lift the car or bus on their heads....not even the bumpy roads would get to me. I love travel and adventure....its in the blood only affected by the virus of brokeness....🤣🤣🤣.where were we...
Yes the importance of traveling and meeting new people is that you get exposure. You meet different minds, share ideas, breathe fresh air. You get creative in many areas of life
When you keep to self, you wear out. I have won out😄😄😄😄over the years. I feel it but i am working on it. We cannot blame it all on the kind of disabilities we found ourselves in, well yes, its the main cause but if only we had the opportunity to meet different minds every once in a while, i am sure that things would not be the same. I am far from the energetic fun loving, out going brilliant lady i was known to be. I am no longer as eloquent as i was. Why, being indoors robbed me of self confidence. i even fear making friends because i am afraid of slowing them down. Every time they have events, Brenda is crying transport. Yes keeping to self does that to you, You do not interact with different minds and as a result, yours ends up shrinking. There are things that may appear as luxury and yet at the same time very important travelling and meeting people is one of them and letting go and live without a worry even if its just for a week, even less. Its very vital for our minds to get refreshed every once in a while.
My recent trip😎😉, allow me, [ clears throat], i had a chance to meet two great minds. this group is as a result of that encounter. Just imagine a few more and where "would" [will] we be!!! Out of our chat, there still a few things discussed and yet to be followed.
Its something that most of us over look more so given our financial standing but every once in a while, lets close our eyes, tie our stomach with a black polythen bag, say come what may and hit the road...
