WeRoad

Why do you travel? Is it really just because you 'need a holiday'? As our society becomes more interconnected, we ironically become more introspective. We frequently find ourselves in a pervasive cycle of existential dread, and yet existential theory places responsibility in the hands of the individual, we are ‘free’ to define ourselves and our paths. So how do we find this path? For starters, you need to get off it. Adventure and travel invites us to diverge from our routines. It’s a chance to be momentarily ‘free,’ by getting off the beaten path of normality, so we can pause, breathe and reconnect with not only our surroundings, but also each other.  Adventure isn’t about self-interest. Adventure is a collective experience. We travel because we believe in the power of forging real human connections, friendships, and experiences. We travel because the world should be experienced intuitively and empirically, not just virtually. We travel because engaging in the world’s complexities leads to more cooperation and sympathy. We travel because wandering helps alleviate fears and prejudices, and we want to build a community that promotes empathy and understanding of people, cultures, and stories. We travel because travel is the most authentic way to understand what it means to be human. We travel because sometimes it hurts, sometimes it is uncomfortable, sometimes it breaks your heart and heals it at the same time. We travel because it changes us. It leaves a lasting mark on our memory, it leaves lasting footprints on our soul, it changes the way we see the world and the way we see ourselves. We travel because we’re all chasing happiness, and nothing touches the heart of that search more powerfully than the thrill and vulnerability of adventure. That’s why we travel, but what’s your why?
