Traveling as Travel

March 2010

People travel for different purposes. Some for business, pleasure, curiosity, or for a certain occasion which sometimes you know you can't categorize as pleasure although it's not business. I don't know why people travel, but I myself travel to feed the constant curiosity of seeing knew sightings. 

I travel to enjoy beauty and to learn about the malable world. I see things that are breathtaking, mind boogling, and confusing, let it be natural or artifical scenary, or just basic human interest and interactions. I love the surprises I see on the road, the problems and problem solving I have to do, and the unknown for the next second since I don't plan too far on during traveling. Little did I know, I crave for it if I don't get a regular dose of it.

I always thought that people that travel are the wisest. They see more than what other people that don't travel see. But that isn't the case I guess. I've met the wisest people that never travel and see the most selfish pricks on the way around the world. The wise are the wise, they are blessed with the turning point of their lives just where they are and they learn from it. And the not... are not. 

I sometimes still ask people why they are in a certain place, why they travel, or what are they looking for especially those that are travelling for pleasure, but I don't do it so often anymore. I'm more interested to know what they know, see, and experience during their travels. And so I leave traveling as traveling itself no matter what the reason is. 

So where have you been and what have you seen? But we'll leave that to when I see you on the road hey? ;)
