Some Life Lessons I Learned from Being a TravelerPeople are essentially the same.
Travel taught me a lot about our shared humanity. Interacting withpeople, watching them commute, pick up laundry, go grocery shopping,and do all the other everyday things I did back home, allowed me tounderstand that, fundamentally, we all just want the same things: to behappy, to be safe and secure, to have friends and family who love us.We may speak different languages and do things differently, butthe why of what we do is universal.
Plans are great — but don’t be married to them.
I love planning a trip. Even after all these years on the road, I still plan  my trips. Planning gives you ownership of your travels. It allows you toimagine yourself in far-off lands doing cool things. But don’t be marriedto your plans as things will go wrong and you need to be flexible. Also,being married to your plans doesn’t allow for the serendipity that travelgives you. It doesn’t allow you to wander into that cute café, linger inthe park, or explore that random museum you happened to find. Justplan two or three things to see or do during the day and let the rest fillitself in. When you go with the flow and let the day lead the way, youget the magic of travel.
You are more capable than you think.
All that worrying and fear I had before my first trip was for naught. Thistraveling thing is a lot easier than people make it out to be. You’re notthe first person to do it, and there is a well-worn trail that makes it easyfor first-timers to find their way. Every day, people get up, go out thedoor to travel the world, and survive and thrive. Kids as young as 18years old make their way around the world without any problems. If an18-year-old can do it, so can you.
