21 Things I LOVE About Travel

I travel a lot.

I’ve basically been a digital nomad for over 5 years, earning a living running (and failing at) start ups and various internet companies.

I have visited hundreds of cities and met a lot of crazy people. Thus I know a thing or two about sleep hacks and travel gear.

But even after all this time, I still love travelling.

Travel is awesome. Here’s why:

1. I don’t have to shave
2. Every day is an adventure
3. I have more time to read
4. I get to try new beer
5. I’m a friendlier person
6. I’m less fashion conscious (usually)
7. I’m forced into awkward situations outside my comfort zone
8. There’s no TV
9. I meet someone new everyday
10. Every day is the weekend
11. I have more time to write
12. I’m getting used to funky smells
13. I learn all day every day – kinda like school, only fun
14. I judge less
15. I no longer let ‘what I do for a job’ define me
16. I’ve become more comfortable on my own
17. Food! So much new food
18. I sleep less… It’s ok, I can sleep when I’m dead
19. I’m more relaxed
20. I have few material possessions to worry about
21. I smile more
