People who “like to travel” tend to just be people who like to plan and follow itineraries.

Many-Worlds
The Many-Worlds Interpretation in quantum physics appears to be very relevant in India, where diverse classes and cultures lead entirely separate lives, often unaware of one another. While we fantasize of understanding these other worlds, fully living them is nearly impossible. We travel to explore different cultures, but do we truly experience them when we carry the weight of our own identities and remain trapped in our personal bubbles?
Walk in the city
To walk a city led by your senses rather than a destination is to awaken to the city and, possibly, to yourself. It’s an opportunity to expand your capacity for wonder, to discover and delight in things you might have missed had you been aiming to get somewhere. Alone in a crowd, you can take a break from who friends and family expect you to be. You can be yourself, or “off stage,” to borrow the sociologist Erving Goffman’s term. You have room to go at your own pace, to let your eye and mind wander, to stumble upon new ideas, even self realizations.

Expanding Experiences
Have you ever wondered how to broaden your own experiences?
Our creativity is often tethered to our imagination which in turn depends on our past experiences.
By venturing into unfamiliar territories, interacting with people from different cultures who speak unfamiliar languages, delightfully shocking our taste buds by tasting the local cuisine, discovering new genres of music and their cultural contexts, walking through an unfamiliar city, observing different lifestyles and traditions, delving into novels and movies from diverse genres and geographies and much more of such activities which disrupt our usual patterns of thinking and interpreting situations, ultimately expands our perspective and hence bursting the bubble of our imagination.
Vacation
Does a vacation bring any change in me or will I be stuck forever in private trap?
Private Traps
Aptly applies to all of us leaving to beautiful places on vacation in search of ‘finding ourselves’ and becoming ‘wanderers’. Can we really run away from what we are and become something new just by roaming around new places?
Unheeded
The above images are of the stone structures formed naturally at St Mary’s Island, Udupi, India.
Even though they seem perfectly symmetrically and artificially sculpted, there is no humans’ contribution for this beauty.
Strange and sad thing to note here is that most of the tourists visiting this island, ignore this very beauty, for which this island is famous for. As soon as they enter the island, they swarm into the water and spend time playing in the beach.
