I just love to travel

Why, people have asked me. There are many people that I know who prefer to stay at home. By home I mean the home country. They do not believe in traveling abroad. Mostly these people have not traveled when they were kids, and the idea of traveling far scares them. Then there are the types that like to visit places, but prefer to go back to home country. Nothing wrong with that. Well I don't quite understand the point of going abroad and drinking so much that you don't remember what you did. Is it really that much fun to loose time? 

Then there are the types who want to travel, but for one reason or other, can't do it. They plan and dream a lot, but rarely get to travel. Usually the reason is that they have kids that are too small to travel. I salute the decision. I might not be so strong. But I do think that it is not ideal to travel with children when you flights leave in the middle of the night. Still I have seen this many times. Sometimes the reason is a valid reason like normal travel from place A to B. But if you are going to go partying, why do you bring your kids with? 

The last group is the group that travels. I would say that I barely belong to this group. I do travel, but I prefer staying in a hotel. I can stay in a hostel as well like I have done before, but I am starting to like my solitude so much, that the thought of sleeping with bunch of stranger does not sound good. Also I fly a lot and don't necessarily take the most cheapest option. Sometimes I do value time over money, which means that I rather pay a bit extra and spend another day somewhere than save some money and spent extra time in a bus or train. Well train is fine, if there is a bed! In Finland you can travel up north with night train, which means that you sleep most of the time anyway. So no time missed in a way. 

But the reason why I love to travel, is yet to be revealed. It's not a big secret or anything. I think you already know why. I just love to travel. :)) It is as simple as that. We moved a lot when we were young, and I have continued that ever since. Good thing about being rootless is that you can settle down anywhere. I like new places and history, what amazing things you can learn just by walking through a cemetery. You'll learn that the life is same all over. There is no need to miss home country just because there things are done little bit differently. Things change all the time, when we get older it is like going to a new country. I would say that if a young version of us would travel to the future, it would be cultural shock. Things might not be that different as we thought, but the little things would be entirely different. Also when we are old, we are going to miss the good old times, what ever period of time that is to us. 

So I am preparing myself for the future, and try to learn and see as much as possible now.
