Have you ever heard the phrase “travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer”? I know what I will say may sound cliche to you, but I guarantee if I’d known how much I learn from travel, I’d have started travelling sooner. Here’s eight key lesson that will inspire you to take your family on a life learn experience around the globe:

1. To keep an open Mind
Spending time in different cultures teaches you how very much is relative. From the small things — places where it’s rude to put your feet up, but normal to spit — to the apparent absolutes of religion, politics and life values, travel opens minds.

2. To learn from what’s around you
People are born curious, and new environments bring out that natural curiosity.

3. To understand others
Travel brings you into contact with people whose lives are vastly different from your own. If you open mind and interact with nomadic hunter-gatherers, Buddhist monks, it’s priceless.

4: Travel will have you build confidence in Yourself.

5: To see the world globally
Every country teaches the world and its history from its own perspective.

6: To keep a sense of proportion
Witnessing the hard lives that 99% of the world lead — and how many maintain happiness throughout — provides a sense of perspective on your own life. Small challenges feel just that — small.

7: To Try New Things
From eating insects, flowers or wild spices through to surfing or crafting silver, travel brings new experiences to try.

8: To be wise, to understand the needs and sensitivities of different people, the history and beliefs of different cultures, and the elaborate workings of a big and complex world is.
