DESCRIPTION

Travel disrupts your assumptions and habitual patterns, it broadens the mind and encourages growth. It is a basic human desire. We’re a migratory species and it’s time to realise that pleasure is not the only consolation of travel. Getting away – and it doesn’t even matter where you’re going – is an essential habit of effective thinking. We travel because we need to – distance and difference are the secret tonic of creativity. And even when we get back home – it is still the same. It is something in our mind that has been changed. Trust me – it changes everything.

you gain perspectiveThere’s solid scientific evidence that geographic distance leads to improved problem solving. Studies have shown that when people are told the creative generation problem solving task was developed in an overseas country, they come up with a higher number of possible solutions to the problem.

you distance yourselfWhen the source of the problem is far away, you feel less constrained by your local assumptions. Your thinking gets more expansive and less limited. You think more abstractly and fluidly and are far less tied to stereotypical assumptions.

you develop more fluid and expansive self-concepts

Trying new things leads to thoughts that if you are capable to do one thing, you can try out other things, too. What you’re essentially doing is getting rid of your limiting beliefs – the subconscious layer of thoughts that is preventing us from acheiving our goals.

you develop new skills and capacitiesWhen we travel we get more accustomed to doing new and unfamiliar things. Had those opportunities come up at home, we would be more likely to automatically go into avoidant coping mode and simply say rebuff them.

when Traveling you practice flexibilityEven if you plan your trip to a T, there’s always an unpredictable component in the nature of exploration. Changes and detours must be acknowledged and accommodated. Travel trains you in quick adaptation- and that is a way virtue that goes a long way in life.

you get a strong sense of self

Traveling also means exploring your own interests as you learn more about the things that amaze, thrill or simply make you laugh. All combined, it gives you a strong sense of self – you know what you like and you are expressing your authentic self by doing it! It can give you a sense that you’re heading in the right direction in your life pursuing your values and goals.

you reduce stress Seeing things in a “proper perspective” is another valuable benefit of traveling. When we view others in similar or worse situations, we tend to realise that our problems are no longer as daunting as we thought.

simple things can be only rediscovered far away

The experiences of meeting all kinds of people demonstrate that we aren’t as different from each other as we may presume. Despite the fact, that sometimes tasks as trivial as ordering water may seem impossible. It turns out whether a little bit different, or a lot different, English-speaking or not, expensive or inexpensive, the world is populated by people who want pretty much the same things.

Hello Fellow Traveller,

Travel World Passport has been created by people hungry to discover the world. We have formed a web framework to save travel memories. It was born out of

continuous search for inspiration. While we appreciate the satisfaction exploration brings, we have a strong conviction that the when looking for true inspiration, we

often found it difficult information available online was scattered and often inaccessible.

The most valuable and remarkable travel inspiration and information is available on travel blogs, but for those who do not follow them on a regular basis it is hard to

keep track of. Our mission is now to gather the most valuable, relevant and useful travel content in one place, where it is indexed and easily searchable.

So for those, who are not satisfied with the way travel content is being presented online our product is a web framework to save and digest travel information around

the stories of real travelers. It provides the necessary inspiration and contains information to start your journey. Our belief is that travel is about the feeling and the

experiences, not the place. Those thoughts and believes are reflected in all the aspects of our work. And that feeling inspires us to be free, travel and do great

things. We hope it will inspire you, too.
