Why do people travel? This is the best answer I have ever heard.

We often say that there must be one body and one soul on the road. This is easier said than done.

The pressure of modern people's life is particularly great. The pursuit of life is drowned in the torrent of the city. In order to live, they struggle hard in a small cubicle. Without ideals, their hearts become barren.

People can't just live, but should know the true meaning of life. The reason why they want to travel is that the journey is not just a walk, but also a process of reconciliation with their own hearts and gentle embrace with the world.

Teacher Bi Shumin's Life Must Have a Journey Touching the Soul is her most beautiful experience after traveling around the world, a fresh and warm healing trip around the world, and an agreement to meet the soul.

This book focuses on travel experience, and collects 23 travel notes and handwritten notes, such as Travel Makes Us Modest and 66 degrees North Latitude. After reading it, people are not only lost in thought, but also understand that traveling is a way of life and an attitude towards life while enjoying the beautiful scenery with the author.

Travel can broaden people's horizons and knowledge

Bi Shumin once wrote in the article "Travel Makes Us Modest":

Long-term dwelling in a humble abode will easily narrow our horizons, narrow our minds and weaken our muscle strength. Only during the journey can we be more resilient and revive many memories like ghosts.

In Bi Shumin's view, travel is a kind of solvent. When the dusty lid is melted, the warmth of smoke rises. Simply put, travel is to arouse people's tireless yearning with a force full of unknowns.

In this world, our vision and knowledge are incomplete. We can't know whether a region or an era is the whole of space and time. We are just poor summer insects, and we can't speak in ice.

The purpose of traveling is to increase our knowledge, to improve our horizons and knowledge, and to know the world as much as possible.

Imagine that when you have seen Iceland's glaciers and snow, and the distant mountains meet the horizon, you will naturally have a new understanding of Iceland; When you see the vast blue water in the Mediterranean, you will naturally feel the magic of nature.

At the same time, the impact of travel is subtle, and these benefits will follow you all your life and make you a wise person. As Hemingway, an American writer, said:

If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris when you were young, Paris will always follow you wherever you go

In life, many people think that the meaning of travel is simply a short-term escape and seeking for a short peace of mind.

People should never make excuses for themselves when they are alive, because many things are easy to miss when they are made excuses. Once they are missed, it is difficult to start again, and you can only taste the pain alone.

Now the sunshine is just right, and the breeze is quiet. While you are young and have the courage to leave, let's meet with your soul and interesting stories, try to improve your horizons and knowledge and live a life you like.

The best travel condition is simple material and full of spirit

During the travel, many people will buy some souvenirs, thinking that these souvenirs will really become souvenirs. In fact, it won't take long for them to become sundries and dusty after they are bought home. If you don't want to take the responsibility of cleaning souvenirs after buying them, you'd better not buy them, because a good travel state is not bringing back a bunch of material things, but spiritual abundance.

Bi Shumin wrote such a detail in the article 66 degrees north latitude.

In the past, when she was traveling in China, she often bought some local souvenirs and put them in the bookcase. At first, she often took them out for viewing, but after a long time, they became dull and even refused to take care of them directly.

once, the bamboo boat and the osprey model she bought in Guilin disappeared, so she asked her husband where he had gone.

My husband said that during the Spring Festival, these two things were covered with dust, and he wanted to wipe them. Unexpectedly, the osprey became a pile of mud when it touched the water, and the bamboo boat was so dry that it cracked because of the heating that he had to throw them away.

After this lesson, Bi Shumin has restrained herself when she goes out to travel again. She no longer buys souvenirs with no practical value, because these things are unwilling to take care of themselves, which will cost money and occupy the public space at home.

We travel to enrich our souls, not to get a bunch of worthless souvenirs.

There is a good saying on the Internet:

The value of an item depends on how much it can ultimately contribute to you, rather than how splendid it is when it is placed in an idle corner.

Material minimalism is really very important, it will enhance a person's happiness and make a person's happiness index increase, instead of living in pain.

At this point, the 34-year-old Japanese cartoonist, the most famous Japanese finishing expert in Japan, did a particularly good job of slow dancing.

The story of Slow Dance has been remake into six episodes of Japanese TV series "My Home is Empty". In Slow Dance's view, only by keeping things simple can we live a happier life. She thinks that out of 1 suitable items, only 1 of her favorite ones need to be left, and the rest can be completely thrown away.

At all times, we should know that whether in travel or in life, material minimalism will make a person have more energy and time to do more meaningful things, and will maximize the value of happiness.

if a person learns to simplify things, throw away useless things outside, and get rid of ignorance, then he will naturally live a very happy life.

People who travel frequently are optimistic and open-minded.

In the process of traveling, we will encounter various unexpected situations, which may be difficult to accept at first, but in the end we can only accept with a smile, because in the end you find that this is not the worst.

People who like to travel are optimistic and open-minded, because they have seen more and experienced more changes in human feelings, so naturally they will not compete with others.

Bi Shumin told such a story in the Amur Bay Petition, which was quite touching after reading it.

They traveled to Vladivostok, Russia, because the Russian bus was not punctual, and they tossed around for a long time. They finally arrived at Amur Hotel, and everyone was already hungry.

I thought I could eat delicious food, but I almost starved to death. The food provided in the hotel is not good, even if I am full.

The hotel always offers four dishes, raw shredded cuttlefish, raw tomato slices, fried dough like steamed stuffed bun and black tea, and the staple food is black bread.

faced with these foods, everyone was indignant, but there was nothing they could do. I wanted to go back to my room to make instant noodles, but I found that there was no boiled water in the whole hotel.

Later, the more they thought about it, the more angry they became. They went to the Vladivostok Tourism Bureau to complain. The deputy director of the Tourism Bureau received them. When they heard about their reaction, the deputy director of the Tourism Bureau directly said that it was good to eat these, because the money for their trip had not come, and now all they ate was paid in advance.

When the tour guide made it clear that this was not the reason, because cash could not be carried when crossing the border, and it would take some time for the two countries to cash the cheque, the deputy director of the Tourism Bureau still said that there was no money. For this reason, Bi Shumin and his party could only choose to accept it.

In the face of this situation, there seems to be no way but to accept it. You can only force yourself to keep a good attitude, because being angry will not only solve the problem, but also make it worse.

I especially like this sentence on the Internet:

People who travel frequently will be more determined in their hearts. They know how to control their emotions and can't get along with themselves, because they have experienced more and seen the world with their own eyes, and they are naturally calm in the face of the joys and sorrows of life.

When a person becomes optimistic and open-minded, then there are few things in this world that can make him angry, and all things are not worth it for him.

People who like to travel know better how to plan

It seems to be just a simple sentence, but in fact it needs to be well planned. People who really like to travel will arrange their time and consumption reasonably, which will make travel more valuable.

People who don't plan before traveling actually don't know how to travel, and it's even harder to appreciate the beauty of the journey. In Bi Shumin's view, traveling is first and foremost a physical marathon.

In terms of health, she thinks there are three most important things. The first thing is time. When one's time is exhausted, nothing can be done.

Secondly, we should let go of our worries. The author thinks that worries are the deadly killer of travel. People can only travel when they have no foresight. If you are still worried about your livelihood when you go out, don't go out, otherwise the process will be particularly painful.

Once again, it's the moment of living in the body. Simply put, when you are in good health, you can start by lifting your legs. However, if you reach a certain age and are in poor health, your arms and legs can't stand being beaten. It's best not to travel, which will endanger your life.

People who really know how to travel will naturally plan everything, and only in this way can travel be truly called travel, and the body will keep pace with the soul. In other words, a person who doesn't know how to plan is not a good traveler.

My friend Joan likes traveling very much, and she knows how to plan very well. Every time she sets out, she is in her best state. She often tells me that all kinds of things will happen during the trip, and it is difficult to be happy without a good plan.

Before leaving, Joanne will make a good strategy. She will not take a cursory tour, but take a good swim with her soul, which is why her life is wonderful enough.

If you also like to travel, then make a good plan and have fun. While everything is just right, it's not too late as long as you are willing to start.

As an online saying goes:

If you really want to travel, it's never too late to start, because as long as you are ready and can focus on your ideal life, you will be happy enough.

Life is too short. Don't always leave regrets for yourself. If everything is just right, please listen to your inner voice, do what you like and set out for the world.

A good trip should be as natural as breathing. A good trip should be a life-and-death relationship between body and soul. In this colorful world, we will eventually have a trip that touches the soul.

Never let your body go too fast when traveling. When your body moves too fast, please wait patiently for your soul to catch up.

In the days to come, I hope you and I can understand the true meaning of travel like Bi Shumin. Even if the soul can't shine on our journey like a candle, at least we should follow it through thick and thin.
