when i write this, i have just arrived in hokkaido, japan last few days. it still blows my mind within 24 hours you can go almost everywhere in the world by plane. flying is an incredible concept, 300 people moving at 200 miles per hour at 38,000 feet and quite frankly you feel no different to when you sit at your dining table having breakfast.

is travelling really worth it? why do i keep doing it ?
i immediately started smiling because the answer bounced back to me in an instant.
YES ! every trip changes you, big or small, you never come back from a trip quite the same as before you left.

if u would ask me about your past year - what stories would spring to your mind? It is almost never the days you spent in the office, or the hours you spent in the gym. it is the travelling you did, the people you met, the extraordinary experiences you had that you didn't expect. these memories make up what we are. they shape our identity. they make us smile. most importantly, they make us feel alive.
i've seen many people waited to travel the world never did it. conversely, plenty of people who took time to live or study in a different country back to build very successful careers later in life. well, this is great ! but in my humble opinion, travelling is the most precious investment you can make in your own development.
