“Life is an experiment in which you may fail or succeed. Explore more, expect least,” says Anjum Khanna, a travel aficionado. Anjum Khanna shares how travel makes one feel alive.

Travel can calm the mind, and bring it back to peace.

Anjum Khanna has one mantra, “Go outside and see the world”. You will know that your problems are so low! Try adventures like scuba diving, skydiving, river rafting, skiing in the snow or paragliding. Get out of your routine, adventure is waiting for you.”

The world is an open book, learning about different cultures.

The world is an open book and one must not forget to read, opines Anjum Khanna. “Do not just observe the beauty, but incorporate it in you. There is a lot of knowledge, so much to be learned. So many cultures you never knew, so many types of food that you never tasted. When there is so much to see and know in this world, how can you not travel?”

It makes you feel ALIVE!

If your today is the same as your yesterday, are you even living? The life you live daily is not just for living life. Anjum Khanna says, there is so much in this world and work is just part of life. Look beyond the imagination. The world is full of beauty. There is so much to see, you will feel blessed that you have got this life to feel the world.

Say ‘hello’ to yourself.

Amid regular life, we lose ourselves. We forget to live, and we just end. When you travel, in the middle of the world, you meet yourself. Travel brings you back to yourself. Yes, this is true. Sometimes you discover something new about yourself. Maybe you have new interests or love for something.

So, travelling is essential every once in a while, you need to get away from city life as soon as possible, just to meet yourself.

Anjum Khanna believes in preserving the beauty before it gets destroyed. When you travel, you come across different people. You meet people from different backgrounds, these people make your travels even more enjoyable. Sometimes, such people occupy a place in your heart, they turn into a family.

Take a break at least once a year…

…and travel to new places. This way you can relax and give your soul a heartfelt relief from city life.

“We are born only once, so why waste it sitting at home and watching TV? Explore the world and capture the beauty.”
