Choosing the Travel Destination

All too often, we choose our travel destinations because it's the most popular travel destination of the month, or it's what everyone's talking about or it will add plus-points to our social status. We do this, in spite of the fact that you want to go somewhere else much more simple, more mundane probably, or less glamorous. I saw a video blog recently which encouraged everyone to “be who you are” as “you are your DNA”. Your likes and dislikes define who you are. Your travel choices makes you who you are, it doesn’t matter what everyone else thinks if you think this place is more romantic or that it offers a more authentic experience of the place and its history. What matters is what you think.

Real travel changes you and keeps you in touch with the real you. This is because the sense of place that you get from a locale and the authentic history and knowledge that you learn forges you into a better you. In the same manner, staying home, or working, or going to the other local attractions keeps you in touch with the real you.

There is a song that says it well, “be true to your heart”.
