I'm a travel addict(旅游迷).I think it is very exciting to go to new places,experience different situations and see unfamiliar things.Here's what I have come up with about why travel is so fascinating.
To start with,whether we know it or not,every day is filled with anxiety about things that we don't need to worry about in the first place.Going to new places is an opportunity to escape from our everyday worries.For example,after a whole day at work,I am often physically and mentally exhausted and start to worry about things.However,the moment I get on the train or bus to my next destination (目的地) I forget all my tiredness and worries.
Next is one of the most basic concepts in travel:movement.I always take along books to read on my train trips,but in the end,only about five pages or so ever get read,because I just stare out of the window at the things whooshing by.Just the ability to move is exhilarating(令人高兴的).Movement also means that we are going to new places and seeing new things.But why is that important?Because experiencing new situations,people and ideas could help us to learn about new things and grow,especially when we don't have the burden of everyday worries.I have never gone on a trip and come back as the same person; I have always changed and grown through travel.
So take every type of trip you can,at every chance you get,and you will not only experience more of the world,but will become a happier person with a richer set of experiences.
