Travel and It's Work Benefits!

One question that most of us face when we are young is, “should I travel and see the world or focus only on my studies and my career?” Most of the time, we choose the latter.

But you know what? They both are more or less the same.

Let us explain: You don’t have to choose between your love for travel and your career. Aaj kal everything is globalised! Be it for work or for leisure, you will have to interact with people from all over the world. Not only that, but we have so many options to choose from in this technologically advanced world!

So why choose either?

Travelling can play a key role in building your career and helping you out with work!

Here’s how:

1. Travelling boosts creativity

Did you know that scientifically it has been proven that new experiences make certain changes in your brain that boosts creativity?

Yes, they can! It doesn’t matter how old you are, every trip you go on gives you exposure to something new. Be it a different country or different culture, you get to see unique things that will have an impact on your mind.

Travelling also helps you relax. When you give your mind a rest it functions even better. When your mind doesn’t have hundreds of tabs open, it works faster and more effectively!

2. It makes you more versatile and adaptable

Travelling to new places forces you to adapt according to the situation. You will be pushed out of your comfort zone and forced to think on your feet. The positive part about this? They make you more capable, versatile and adaptable than other people. This is a major boon to your CV!

Haan ye sahi hai that people already write these qualities on their resume anyway to make it look good. How will it make yours different? Well, not only will you have the skills, but also the evidence to back it up!

This is what employers will think when you add these skills and experiences to your CV:

Companies these days want employees who are capable of keeping up and adapting to the changing times. What better teacher than travelling? These qualities will help you in every other sphere of life as well!

3. Travel helps in developing soft skills

The biggest benefit of travelling is hands down the opportunities you get to meet new people. Interacting with different kinds of people on your travels refines your judgement of people. You can make better decisions as to how to approach them. Your interpersonal skills get better, which is a major plus!

Soft skills go past interpersonal skills; they involve your leadership skills, your problem-solving abilities and well you work in a team. These skills require a combination of social and emotional intelligence. Going to a new place helps with that.

4. It improves your network

You never know who you’ll meet on your adventures. From other professionals to vendors and experts, travelling to different countries will give you greater insight and exposure.

In this globalised world, irrespective of where you work, you will be interacting with people from different parts of the world. You have to make sure you have knowledge about potential resources! Networking is also great for recommendations and boosting your career opportunities!

So the next time someone says you should be networking instead of travelling just say,

5. Travel helps in new beginnings

It can help you discover your true calling in life. Sometimes, we don’t always make the right career choices, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t rectify them. Travelling gives you the opportunity to discover something you never knew you were passionate about.

Maybe you want to get into textiles, cooking is your passion, maybe being a scuba diving instructor is what you were meant to be, you never know! Travelling the world will give you the opportunity to discover parts of yourself you may not have known about!

In fact, travel itself is an industry you can build your career in. If you love travelling and can’t see yourself doing anything else, go for it! There are so many paths open for you to choose from.

See, it doesn’t matter whether you are a student or a working professional- travelling will benefit you in many ways in your career. Never hesitate when you get the opportunity to go somewhere new.
