When Neil Armstrong first stepped on the moon, it was the breaking of a dawn for the whole world. This was a first of its kind. An instance when a team of open-minded people thought of exploring the untraversed path and that which changed the world’s outlook towards moon and Universe as a whole.
The headlines on the next day of practically every tabloid and news channels in the world had just one quote to describe the epic event:
” One small step for Man,
One Giant leap for the Mankind.”
Travel in any shapes and size does the same to a world traveller. It opens the mind. In fact, the giant leap from living a monotonous life behind closed doors and becoming a world traveller has an immense impact.
It makes one fall in love with the world!
When this happens a world traveller is born who has the whole world as his or her travel inspiration and then the individual is unstoppable.
Here are some of the experiences and learning points when the team ‘The Other Brain Inc.’ as a world traveller experienced the goodness of world across their multiple travel escapades.:
Be Responsible
On a recent trip to an international destination we met a senior jouralist and a noted author of two books, Inderjeet Singh Ahluwalia. Sharing his travel experiences and the way diferent traveellers behave differently in a foreign set up, he commented something that was a leraning for a lifetime. He gave an examplem of himself and tried to prove his point about responsible tourism. he said, ” as a world traveller I have explored a lot many countries. Now when I visit any place and being a surd, I become a kind of brand ambasssador, representing my community as a whole to the people in foreign land. So I am always concious that my actions always leave a positive impact about my community and not a single loose action happens from my side. This is so because any falty behavior from my end would lead to an opinion formation in the mind of unknown people about my community and which will be idelible.
This is when we actually realized the importance of being a ressponsible tourst.
Late Night Shopping in Pattaya for Solo Woman Traveller
On hearing about Pattaya city in Thailand what the general otion about the place is that it wouldn’t be a safe place for solo woman travellers. But it will be a surprising revelation for man that Pattaya is an absolutely safe city for woman travellers. One can easily go out and shop till late night without any fear of a mishap. The only requirement here is to have an open mind and without a second thought venture out to see the general negative notion about the city.
Getting Back to Nature
There are hundreds and thousands of resorts in India and abroad. But how many of them think about getting back to nature, very few! Aahana resort a sprawling 30 acre property has incorporated backward integration in tandem with nature. So they have cows for the supply of dairy products, organic farm, plus some vegetation to act as a fodder for cattle. They have actually established the whole cycle of ecological balance wherein cow yield milk while their waste is turned into bio gas and fertilizer. A zero percent wastage of natural components. Indeed a learning!
Focusing on Body, Mind and Soul
On another trip, we met a world traveller couple from London who were in India for more than 2 months. They told they had indulged in Vipassana course of 45 days and earnestly appealed t us for indulging in it at an early age. Coming to think of a fact, not many Indians know about Vipassana.
Are you a world traveller, have you met people that inspire you for better? Right to us!
