Is Meeting People the Best Part of Travel? YESSSSSSS
Many times, when reminiscing, the memory of the people that you’ve met will outweigh those of the destination itself. To me, meeting new people and traveling go hand in hand. Any interaction, good or bad, adds depth to our experiences. On the road, you also find very little pretense. No one has their guard up. No one questions your motives or wonders what you are after. There is just you — as you are in that moment. A simple hello and before you know it, you are traveling with people for months.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting detached from people I was once highly attached to is also one of the best things I have done. I firmly believe in the philosophy of Gautama Buddha in which he says, ‘root of suffering is attachment’. It’s not easy to detach from people you’ve had close ties with but sometimes its necessary in order to restore your sanity and peace of mind.
