Why do we travel?
Today, I question myself: Why do we travel? I aspire and work towards my aim to travel to different countries. In doing so I experience the different cultures, cuisines etc. that travel has to offer.

Another reason could be to attain knowledge and increase our knowledge about the world and all its different cultures etc.?

I have also started a new blog series on “Why do we travel” and some of my travel blogger friends have contributed their articles and will be posting them in the coming weeks.
In case you too would like to participate and would like to contribute your articles to me, please feel free to send me an email on: travelbliss4@gmail.com and I will reply to you with the requisite details.
So until then, keep traveling and keep sharing your travel stories here!
