TRAVELLING ABROAD
Am I the only one contemplating saving up for globe-trotting instead of spending on inconsequential things like video games? It is clear as a day that scores of people support the idea of travelling abroad, but there are a few who take a sceptical view towards this notion.On the one hand, one thing I adore about travelling abroad is the way it boosts our mental well-being. There is not an iota of doubt that when we take a few days off from our hectic schedule just to tour and unwind, we will start seeing the overwhelming beauty of life. As a result of the retreat from day-to-day havoc, we can evade from deadly maladies such as heart diseases and anxiety disorders. Put simply, travelling to different places is unquestionably essential for our peace of mind.On the contrary, what I find most undesirable about world exploration is the way it appears to be a catalyst for burning a hole in one’s pocket. It is undeniable that a seemingly affordable trip can abruptly turn in to a considerable investment because expenditures we can never foresee may be lurking around some corner. Therefore, planning an adventurous tour could be an uphill battle due to the financial burden involved, putting the state of our minds in tatters. Travelling abroad will indeed require ransacking our piggy banks.On the whole, I am of the opinion that we should make a trip to a wondrous place once in a while underlying the fact that it reduces the impact of overwhelming struggles of life. The hefty expenditures can be managed by better cost-cutting strategies.
