St. Augustine once said, “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page”. There are a variety of reasons why people travel. Some do it for leisure – as a way of their escape from the hectic life on the fast lane. Others do it as their mission – to travel places they’ve never been to and share their experiences to others through their photographs and blogs while others travel to find an inspiration or do some soul searching. While these reasons are the most common intentions why people travel, there is one important purpose that people may have not noticed or never thought of why they SHOULD travel.
