Why Travel?
About a month ago, I asked Lets Go Sago! readers a poignant question: “Why Travel?” I made it the question of interest in the site’s second anniversary contest (part 2).
It’s not always easy to participate in a blog writing contest specially if the criteria is based on content and quality. Nonetheless, the results exceeded my expectations.
I would like to thank all who participated in this blog writing contest and made this a success. This post is a tribute to you guys. I am posting all the participants’ links and got thumbnail images from your sites. They were all good and inspiring to read; heartwarming to say the least.
Interestingly, almost all had entitled their posts “Why Travel,” even if it was not a requirement. 
I decided to compile them and share it with the rest of the readers of Let’s Go Sago! for them to enjoy. I also quoted some highlights from each of your stories (in order of submission).

Our own local tourism has a lot to offer. There is a lot of beautiful things to see in our country that we don’t notice.

Learn to travel and travel to learn.

Travel, as a noun…means the act of going from one place to another…as a verb…, means [to] undertake a journey or trip…for pleasure. I have experienced “Travel” as a noun but never as a verb.

Traveling is one of the best ways to learn different cultures in different places

For me, moving away from the usual place you are in helps us to balance our decisions or outlook in life.

Because apart from pictures, what do you really take out of it? You leave with memories…
Ria Abella Jose
…a person not just collects memories but also lessons which hopefully contribute to his growth as a person.

…because I have seen for myself first-hand that there is more to life out there than just staying inside my room.

It’s time to get out of your lonely cubicle and take a good 360° turn around you.
