The world is just like a book, if you haven't traveled yet then you have not read this book. Traveling is not only a source of amusement but it also teaches you by showing ancient places. Many travel storytellers tell their story without visiting any place or just you can say that their story is imaginary. I think that your story cannot have those feelings until you have visited that place yourself. I would like to share my visit to Mansehra. The main purpose of this trip was to learn about the lifestyle of poor communities in the mountain range. This trip has influenced my life a lot. I was eagerly waiting for that day when we were going to leave for Mansehra. I packed al my precious things in my suitcase and left for the trip. Road trips are very much exciting in the sense that you can explore many new things. This trip was also going to bring about many changes in my visions and goals. Mansehra is situated in Khyber Pakhtunkhawa, a province in Pakistan. It is not a big city like Karachi and Lahore but its beauty has its place. The people there are very hospitable. My trip was of 4 days and I learned a lot of things. I observed and felt the beauty of nature. I reached there at night so I went to bed to take a good sleep. The next morning I woke up early in the morning and went out to take a breath in the fresh mountainous air. I visited some places nearby and I was shocked that people were poor but still happy. The young generation has no time for themselves and they are stuck in mobile phones, laptops, and the internet but the people there were happy without these facilities. They were enjoying every single thing in their life. That day I decided that I will enjoy the moment and I will make some time for myself in the busy schedule of my life. I will serve all the poor community in my society because all the social problems are born just because of poverty. I decided to stay with those people at night and it was a really good experience. At night, the cool breeze was blowing and there was no blanket available. Little children were shivering because of the cold climate and my eyes became wet in tears. That day I decided my goal of life because without a goal we are just like birds without wings. I got my wings. After 4 days trip, when I came back, my friends were shocked to see a new me. I was completely changed. In the end, I would like to say that road trips are best and they teach us a lot of things.
