When he is not busy with his work as a structural engineer in
Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, Pankaj Saharia likes to travel and experience
new cultures as often as possible. “I love international travel. I have
visited many countries in Europe,” he says. There are many benefits to
traveling, not all of which may be immediately apparent to those who
don’t do it very often. The following are some of the most important.
Experiencing Other Ways of Life
If
you never travel outside of the little bubble you have created for
yourself, you restrict your understanding of the different cultures and
customs that others are accustomed to. Traveling offers you the chance
to connect with people who can teach you a lot about life, allowing you
to become a well-rounded person in the process.
Dealing With Stress
Regardless
of how much passion you have for your work, there will be times when
stress becomes an issue. Everybody needs to take a break every once in a
while, and traveling is often the best way to do this. Going somewhere
new allows you to escape the shackles of your current environment,
resulting in your mind focusing on something other than work and
personal issues that may cause stress.
The Food
Different
cultures mean a wide range of delicacies to sample. Your travels can
expose you to foods you may never have experienced before, many of which
you can take home with you to enjoy later on.
