Intro:
On this episode, we interview Leverage Program moderator Max about his journey around the world.
Traveling is a very crucial part of life as it is the best way to get out of the busy schedule. It is also to experience life in different ways . Traveling is actually a good remedy for stress, anxiety and depression. According to TravelQuest Internationl, it also improves the mental and physical health. Another reason why people love to travel: it helps open your mind. You realize that there’s no one way to live life. Meeting people from other places will show you that your world view isn’t the same as everyone else’s.
Most things that you’re worried about as far as going on a trip will never materialize. You just need to go through it with confidence and execute. People that tell you that it’s a bad idea are jealous. You will come out of the trip with more value than it costs you. Don’t travel to run away from something. Travel because you’re excited and want to experience new things. Set a few goals that are going to be the theme of your trip (getting better at writing, gaining great experiences/stories, etc).
