Why travelling? Why not something else to talk about? In my opinion travelling is something which soothes your soul or which refreshes your soul. I had the same kind of relationship with travelling, this is something which i truly believe that the only thing to live a happy life could be only done by a travelling and exploring different places, to explore each and every place of this world in details to see what interest you most about travelling,to be in the place which makes you feel happy and good, my travelling story is unique and pleasant, i myself belongs to the unprevileged community where girls are not so allowed to go out , they have been restricted on everything. But it was something which always pushed be forward to walk out of the borders which limits my footsteps. When i was 17 i travelled alone to another city named Lahore. I had alot of hurdles regarding going out of city alone but i somehow managed to go there. For the very first time i realized that there is no fear in travelling alone and exploring different place, the best thing about this first step of travelling alone was that it changed my mindset completely about girls going out alone, it keeps on motivating me and it strengthens my thoughts about girls going out and girls being independent, but still i had alot of issues regarding my travelling though it was an official out going from my univeristy but still people in our community had issues regarding my travelling,this constant problems indulged me in a phase of depression and anxiety but all i knew was that i can only get better when i travel, that day i decided that i'll never giveup on my dreamsn I was selected for a conference in lahore again i had to move there now as soon as possible i asked my parents for the permission but they had same issue but i went there i had the best memories of that place i met alot of people , i made alot of friends, i went to lahore historical places like shahi qilla, badshahi mosque,it was so beautiful.. i am.found of spicy food where there is spicy food my footsteps will follow that path i'll visit every local place of lagore to eat spicy food, the best plave to explore in.lahore is the food street in old lahore its such a wonderful place for someone who want to eat a good food and a spicy food. Its sort of give me peace when i travel, few months back i was selected for a exposure trip, i visited Islamabad ,Murree and Abbottabad. The best part of this trip was the Abbottabad city where we went to a lake where there was different games and adventurous task to do. I experienced para gliding for the forst time and i cannot even explain the excitement i had that time even though i am.talking about it right now exictes me that it was something which i always wanted to do and i did it. And its never left me with regrets because there is one life which needs to be explored to its fullest. It was the most beautiful part of my travelling experiences. It really changed me, it really changed my perosnality, it made me fearless,and it motivates me for more. Travelling is something which never disappoints us it always gives us hope about life it convinces us its compels our minf to think about each and everything in world which exist, its convinces us to see the beauty of nature, to see the beauty of world. It is really h soul soothing,which keeps us away from getting depressed, its.keep us happy. My travelling journey made me a different an a strong human which makes me feel proud that i am no more the one who is affraid of the people around us . I am not affraid of giving up on my dreams easily. The new me , the better me , the strong me.
