1.)Time is running out. With a world threatening to go nuclear and global warming not being adequately acknowledged, the time to see the world may be running out.

2.)The ice is melting, sea levels are rising, and many of the most beautiful and historical cities in the world (cough, Charleston, South Carolina, cough) could be completely underwater sooner than anticipated.

3.)One word, Food. Travelling gives the opportunity to try new things, especially new foods. Every place has a different taste.

4.)Travel gives you a different perspective. Experiencing the beauty of other cultures helps us all understand things better. Travel can help us to understand how and why others view things differently, and help us to combat any ethnocentric attitudes we may harbor.

5.)Life is short. It’s so easy for us all to get caught up in our own daily routines. We get so busy that we forget to make time for a change or a trip.

6.)It’s easier than you think. Even of you are pressed for cash, there are a lot of affordable travel options out there. Many travel companies offer payment plans, and if you are in school or attending college, many foundations offer scholarships to study abroad.

7.)It will make you happier. Aside from the obvious reasons, (who doesn’t feel happy on vacation, right?) the rush of travelling increases serotonin levels in brain.

8.)It’s good to get out of your comfort zone. Especially if you’ve never travelled outside of your state or out of the country, a big step out of your comfort zone can propel other much needed life changes.

9.)Everyone loves an adventure. Travelling encourages spontaneity, and spontaneous decisions almost always lead to a much needed adventure.

10.)Nothing is certain. We all say that we will do that, or go there, or see this one day, but we often forget that tomorrow is never promised. So have no regrets, and do that, go there, or see this now.
