5 Reasons you should travel abroad



Travelling has become way easier than it use to be. It is less expensive than you think, and it is actually possible to travel more.

And yet a great number of us have never traveled before. You want to. You desperately need to. But You don't.
Don't make up excuses such as; I have a job and what about my girlfriends?boyfriend? or my parents won't allow me.

Commitments. Cost. Relationships. And the list goes on. All are just pernicious excuses you trap yourself in to escape the truth. The truth that you are just too scared to go for it. 
Trust me, we tend to forget that we have only one life and miss many opportunities and experiences.
Based on my experience, I recommend every person young or old (traveling has no age) to get out of their hometown and see what’s out there. but better do it young because it will help you grow older better. Here are 5 ways traveling changed/changing me forever.



1. Traveling changes the way you relate to the world.



I grew up in a tiny town. Just like many of you I had a difficult time envisioning much else outside my comfortable country bubble. When you travel to other countries and see the amazing beauty of sunsets over seas, monkeys swinging through rain forests, half naked kids running a round and making fun toys out of wood. You realize the world is full of more beauty than what you are capable of seeing in a lifetime.

If I didn't know what I was missing, I would have less of a desire to put the effort into taking the time to travel. You also develop a deeper sense of obligation to save our planet . After all, you've seen its beauty and it’s worth saving! One of the most rewarding aspects of travel is its ability to provide you with a fresh perspective

2. Traveling changes the way you relate to others.


Unfortunately, in my country the word "different" was somehow Beyond the pale. Everyone looked and acted basically the same. While I am traveling, I learned (learning still) about other cultures. I realized that my life could be enriched by opening up to people who didn't look or act like me. I developed friendships with people who were nothing like me, but were exactly what I needed. This taught me not fear experiencing relationships that were outside my comfort zone. It also taught me how to communicate without knowing teh language. It taught me how to accept and be accept by people who barely knew me (I barely knew them).

3. Traveling enable you to challenge yourself


It ain't easy to challenge yourself on new adventures. It is most likely to challenge yourself to finish a 16 episode drama in one day or a whole season of "How I met your mother" in one week but never to hike a jungle full of unknown creatures, drive on the left side after you've been taught your whole life to drive on the right one, bicycle a whole town without knowing how to read your map, eat smelly disgusting fruits just because! (surprisingly a lot of people love it ) Sleep in a 6 dormitory room with complete strangers.

Add to the lovely mix, asking information from a person who has no clue which language am I speaking. Now that's what I call a real challenge.

Brave enough to challenge yourself? do it now don't wait till it's too late


4. Traveling empowers you to behave modestly



The older I become, the more I realize I actually know very little about life. Traveling makes you see that the world is so much bigger than your perspective on it. You may think that learning stopped the minute you left school, but traveling gives you a great opportunity to soak up knowledge from every step you take. You soon realize the world doesn't revolve around you.

It doesn't mean that you are not important, but it does change your perspective to be more open to gain insight into new customs you've never seen or taken part in. Traveling teaches you to let go of the perceived concept of control. You learn that it’s a big enough challenge to just control yourself, and learn to give up trying to do so for the rest of the globe.


5. Traveling allows you to meet new people



You’ll encounter a lot of interesting people with different cultural backgrounds and you’ll learn a lot from them and their stories

I am very grateful for all teh friendship I have gained throughout my trips. They have been such an inspiration, a great deal of help and a soft shoulder to lean on in this lonesome journey.


Do this while you’re still young. Do not squander the time. You may never have it again.




Countries you can visit without Visa - Moroccan Passport

As a Moroccan myself, I know how hard it is to feel free to travel the world especially with the visa requirements and complications. That is probably why Moroccan youngsters are very discouraged to go abroad for holidays.  You will probably add the money issue as an excuse, but the truth is, traveling is not that expensive after all. I will get back to that topic later on in an other entry and I will show you how to travel on a very limited budget and things you can do with it.
As for now I will write down the list of countries you can visit with only a passport a little bit of cash and few clothes to survive the weather.

Out of more than 194 country in the world we are free to visit only 60 country and here is the list below.
