The Joys of Travelling .

The Joys of Travelling .

I just want to reflect on the joys of travelling . I feel that we Humans have an innate desire to travel !

If I am not too far away from our past roots , we Humans were always moving about in search of food and all other needs . As the big , hairless ape that was upright , we wandered all around as a way of living ! So, moving about , walking , riding or sailing has been our very way !

Travelling is natural to us . It's in our DNA ! It's not only food that made us move about , it was also part of survival , seasons and searching for the happy hunting grounds ! Of course , we wanted to be in the happy hunting grounds , be it here or else where !

That lifestyle went on for many , many years ! 

Agriculture and living in one area is a recent event . It's only roughly about 10,000 years or so that we started settling down .It seems a long time , but you must see in the context that we were wanders , hunters for a much longer period ! Maybe over a few 100,000 years ! All that is history and other prehistoric studies . My taking you back is just to high light that we were always travelling from the very dawn of our beginning times !

Today , the travelling bug or desire has taken a whole new dimension . It has become one of the largest industries now ! Travelling , tourist , business and all the rest is now a huge activity that is simply beyond the scope of my reflections .

I am just bring to awareness that we all like to travel for everything that brings joy .

Every travel trip is exciting and wanting to experience new happenings . The sheer joy of moving away from our known and familiar gets us excited . Today this has taken us to a new crazy altogether . Our travelling desire is expanding everyday. The normal tourist areas are getting overcrowded . New off beat places are being searched always . The more exotic the better !

So , the joys of travelling are rooted deep within us . 

It will only increase more as more and more people can afford to travel !

The good side is good , but the overcrowded travelling has it's own challenges.

Whatever the thinking or feelings , we are all just going to travel .

Thank you. Amar.
