“Why Travel?” Blogs |

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).

…from these travels, I have realized that the world doesn’t revolve around me; that I am not the center of the solar system; and that there are a lot more to discover and learn than just being ME.

Because traveling is such a relaxing and rewarding activity for each one of us.

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.

…are you really satisfied to live a life that everything seems to be a routine? Like every time your clock alarms [and] wake you up,… go to work, then go home,…sleep then wake up again.

Eddie Oguing
Learn to travel and travel to learn.

Joanne Garces Gonzales
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.

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

Masarap kasi…Travelling is pretty much like shopping. Therapeautic. Relaxing. Addicting…..[posting your travel photos on FB] is also a sweet way of saying to your ex “See, I moved on.”

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

kung meron man akong magiging dahilan kung bakit ko gustong maglakbay, ito marahil at dahil gusto kong ma-experience ang mundo na kasama ang mga taong mahal ko sa buhay
