this is the sunday motivational video
every Sunday we bring you a different
type of video which should improve your
life today we're looking at 15 reasons
why you should travel the world welcome
to a lox calm the place where future
billionaires come to get inspired hello
a Luxor's it's amazing to have you back
with us for another Sunday video we are
strong ambassadors of traveling and what
exploring the world can do for your
mindset so we decided to make a video in
order to go through the benefits we
identified from our own experiences a
special distinction we want to make
before we start is between traveling and
being a tourist tourism is a commercial
product very similar to having a movie
pass you get to experience different
things without going out of your comfort
zone while traveling is more similar
with exploring immersing yourself in a
destination to the point where you're as
much a part of it as it is of you big
cities are filled with tourists while
travelers focus on the less traveled
paths the rewards are exponentially
higher for travelers than for tourists
but it all depends on the reason for
your trip hopefully by the end of this
video you'll be ready to book a flight
and start exploring the world if you're
new here welcome be sure to subscribe
and follow us on instagram at Alex here
are 15 reasons why you should travel the
world number one it's outside of your
comfort zone what is traveling if not
leaving order and moving towards the
unknown how far into the unknown you're
willing to go well that's up to you
you're going to places where you don't
speak the language where people don't
know who you are and you got to be in
control of yourself for once that's why
many people never go to new places they
explored one place with which they are
comfortable and they repeat that visit
please consider this next time you
decide to go somewhere number two it
helps you escape the routine we use
traveling as a tool to conscious
we break our behavioral patterns when we
feel like too many days look the same
it's a brute-force strategy but for us
it gets the job done we plan trips ahead
of time and space them out throughout
the year so you always have a new one to
look forward to it's also a great way to
add a new dimension to your life which
makes the hustle bearable number three
travel is a more advanced form of
education want to get smarter quicker go
exploring traveling is like condensed
education so many skills and new forms
of interconnected knowledge merged
together in a travel experience then you
level up at the end of your trip what we
love the most about the type of
knowledge you get while traveling is
that it gives you a detail of insight
which you cannot match otherwise you
make sense of history geography and of
international events which others only
study in school books this type of
experimental knowledge allows this
information to stick around a lot longer
number four you get to meet new people
and hear their stories despite being
more connected than ever it's hard to
make new friends and expand your network
traveling is the perfect opportunity for
this both parties actively want to
expand their networks with people from
different places around the world so the
environment is optimized for this type
of goal the last thing you want when
coming back from a trip is to have never
spoken to anyone new it's a missed
opportunity to learn about the world
just talk to people and they'll gladly
tell you their stories about their past
and their lives and how they ended up
being the person they are today this
allows you to understand context and
form in non superficial relations with
people which will dramatically outlast
the others it doesn't hurt to keep in
touch once in a while either number five
you're exposed to new ideas a single
trip can change your entire worldview
people fear what they don't know or
don't understand this is a very
prominent issue especially today when
media chooses to portray the worst in
people
just because someone lives in another
geography than you do there's
color is different and they worship a
different supernatural being than you it
doesn't mean they don't share the same
emotions that they don't have the same
desires or the same goals in our travels
we found that most people are good and
welcoming and they'll share with you
what they have in order to make you feel
good a smile is always returned no
matter where you go explore the world
talk to people and actively try to learn
from them we've been alive as humans for
so long that different parts of the
world have mastered different aspects of
existence the last thing you want to do
is travel with the belief that you know
everything because you'll be shocked by
your own ignorance number 6 it makes you
more independent one goal in life is to
be self-sufficient meaning if it comes
to it your own set of tools is enough to
keep you going we're seeing this with
younger generations where parents are
overprotective and do not allow their
children to face the hardships of life
until it's too late they grow up in a
bubble and then reality hits them like a
brick in the face traveling is a great
solution for this because although you
can call your mom and dad to hit the
Western Union or book the flight home
you still have to rely on your own
abilities to have a good time traveling
in small groups or even alone gives you
the super power of being enough by
yourself and decreases your reliance on
external factors number seven the food
is amazing life's too short to eat the
same type of food every single day not
exploring the food culture of the world
is a major sin in our eyes and should be
punished accordingly imagine there's a
book with thousands of pages and you
read over and over again the same first
page never turning it over once even
hearing that makes you realize how
stupid that is but that's how most
people live their lives food is an
extraordinary sensory experience
you're literally bringing a part of the
new environment inside of your body
what's more personal than that
some of our best experiences happen
food because people can be themselves
when they're eating food has that power
over people and it brings out their most
natural selves number eight Travel makes
you realize how much you don't know the
more you travel the more you understand
how closed-minded you've been living the
world is so vast and filled with
knowledge and stories you would
otherwise die without knowing the beauty
of life comes from expanding your
horizons whatever form that might take
this might sound odd to some people but
the more you explore the more you
realize how complex human life is and
it's hard to comprehend that most people
will never get that perspective a life
without traveling is like living in a
cage you're not living you're just being
kept alive number nine it de-stresses
you we've experienced this ourselves
life is complicated and it takes a
strong toll on us as humans especially
since we're putting so much pressure on
ourselves despite us justifying the
importance of whatever it is we're
stressing about for the moment the world
keeps on spinning in a major disregard
of our miniscule existence traveling
provides us an escape from that it makes
you a passenger in other people's
existences instead of your own usual
position as the driver of your own life
number 10 you make memories memories are
the one type of wealth which grows more
value as time goes by at some point in
life we'll all find ourselves left with
just our memories these will probably be
the last thing we have to give up before
we die so we might as well invest in
them people who travel have stories to
tell because they lived they've seen
places they've met people life happened
to them and these memories are even
better if they're shared with the people
you care about
because memories are the underlying bond
of relationships they set the
cornerstones for true friendships a
while back we made two very
horton videos on the things which money
can and cannot purchase you can check
them out by clicking in the top right
corner you're probably expecting a fluff
piece but that is not what we did we
went deeper than anything we've seen and
we're really proud of the end result
enjoy number eleven freedom to travel is
the new measurement for success who
cares how much money you have in the
bank if you've never seen the world who
cares what your cash flow is if you're
unable to leave the country because the
government forbids it freedom to travel
has become the new measurement for the
new rich one week we're in Rome the next
we're settled into our apartment in
Manhattan once the business is done
we're on a plane to Shanghai the world
is your playground
and you need to start playing in it if
you really want to feel wealthy number
twelve travel forces you to be more
social in this digital world people have
become excessively boring they lack a
personality because they no longer go
out to form one because of their indoor
existence we are forming our
personalities based on almost the same
type of pattern provided on the Internet
we all laugh at the same memes we all
watch the same TV shows we order the
same types of clothes from the same
online retailers you're no longer you
you're a product of what the affirmation
companies want you to be the antidote to
all of this is real life conversations
even better if these are hard
conversations meaning they're meant to
test your current beliefs we are so used
to living in our own designed echo
chambers that people are triggered when
they hear something which goes against
what they've been infused to believe and
are massively outraged travelling
teaches you to be social to talk to
people you don't know and learn from
them number 13 it increases your
problem-solving skills
want to get better at life travel
inevitably you'll be faced with
situations where you'll need to be quick
on your feet to get creative in your
problem-solving and figure
how to get yourself out of difficult
positions all this makes you a more
resourceful individual and has side
benefits into whatever you're planning
to do in the future because life is very
cyclical in nature only the details
change we like people who travel a lot
they seem more confident and are not
shaken that easily number fourteen some
experiences have an expiration date on
them you'll never get to experience a
city the same way you did the first time
visiting Paris when you're a teenager
holding hands with your highschool
sweetheart differs completely to the
experience of a couple who just had
their second child or that of someone
who's in their 50s the experiences you
can enjoy while traveling have an
expiration date on them this means if
you don't travel right now you're
missing out on something which you'll
never be able to experience again yes
you can see the landmarks but by now we
expect you understand that travel isn't
about getting a selfie in front of a
random building or construction there's
more to it than that
number 15 travel is a better investment
than more material things we take
experiences over another set of fancy
clothes any day we've touched on this
idea some time back but some investments
you do for your financial portfolio
which is meant to secure your freedom
while others you do for your soul
everything else is just an expense and
that's all for today a lack sirs we hope
this video sparked some interest into
exploring the world and if you want to
know what we do when we travel click in

exciting new destinations so we're
curious to know what's your favorite
country to visit let us know in the
comments and for those of you still
watching we salute and thank you as
always you're getting a bonus reward
number 16 Travel makes you find who you
really are
it's a very humbling experience making
you realize life does not revolve around
you there are so many people living
their own version of reality and having
to really understand that is growth by
itself on top of that you can finally
find who you really are something you
can't do if you don't expose yourself to
the new and to the unknown being face to
face with the world allows you to define
and polish the piece of art you are and
from that point forward your destiny
becomes clear it's almost like an
addiction once you realize the
transformative powers of travel if
you're still watching this please write
the number of countries you have visited
so far in the comments as of 2018
there are 195 countries recognized
worldwide it doesn't matter if the
number is high or low
what is important is for you to be
honest with yourself and realize how
much more of the world you have to
explore we are so interested to see if a
lack sirs understand the importance of
travel or not thank you for spending
