You guessed it, I\u2019ve been one of those curious children going around the school campus, wanting to explore hidden nooks and corners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My very first travel experience goes back to the family trip that I had in 7th standard to Uttarakhand. I remember how excited I was. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I wanted to feel the peace that I heard about mountains. I wanted to challenge my fear of height. I wanted to make memories to tell to my friends, siblings, and grandparents. I wanted to feel how is it to live under the shadow of mountains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So far, I\u2019ve traveled to Mumbai, Jaipur, Agra, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Chandigarh, and many places around Delhi. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5124 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plantheunplanned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Explore.jpg\" alt=\"Travel Made Me A Better Person\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Explore.jpg 900w, https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Explore-531x354.jpg 531w, https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Explore-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Explore-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Explore-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing that I can\u2019t deny as a traveler is that I am in love with the adrenaline rush that I feel when I get out of my comfort zone, aka home. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve always liked traveling in public transport rather than cars. Cars make me sick, maybe because I take public transport as an opportunity to explore the places I don\u2019t know about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I believe not only a trip to other states counts as traveling but also a simple drive around the town can be equally joyful. As per my ideas, traveling is all about coming out of your comfort zone to explore something you have no idea about, to know something you never expected to know, and to do something you didn\u2019t even know existed or thought of doing it ever!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travelling helped me to evolve into a confident, mature girl who is not scared but prepared to face anything life throws at her. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve always been protected by my father and brother but sometimes it turns into restriction. Travelling gave me a sense of freedom and a sense that I don\u2019t need to be protected by someone, rather have faith in myself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going around alone made me independent and strong mentally as well as emotionally. I know how to talk to different people, how to take care of different situations, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I\u2019ve become more confident in realizing who I am. I\u2019ve learned the importance of the uniqueness of one\u2019s own personality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know one thing that I\u2019ve never been afraid of, no matter what my age was. I\u2019ve always known about the difficulties I would face outside my home but I was prepared to face them with confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I\u2019ve been clumsy but that didn\u2019t stop me from roaming around the city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4689 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plantheunplanned.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Valentines-day-weekend-getaways-from-Bangalore-1.jpg\" alt=\"Travel Made Me A Better Person\" width=\"760\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Valentines-day-weekend-getaways-from-Bangalore-1.jpg 760w, https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Valentines-day-weekend-getaways-from-Bangalore-1-600x474.jpg 600w, https:\/\/plantheunplanned.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Valentines-day-weekend-getaways-from-Bangalore-1-300x237.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being a college student, the urge to explore is stronger since college is our first step in the real world, out of the protective shadow of our parents. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being a photographer just adds to that urge. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantheunplanned.com\/7-places-visit-during-holi\/\">Delhi<\/a> is a vast city to explore, often underestimated by Delhiites. I also used to think, there is nothing new to see since I\u2019ve been my whole life here but now I know how many places are there that I\u2019ve never been to in Delhi. That\u2019s why I\u2019m mostly on a traveling spree during weekends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, let\u2019s just say traveling gave me important life lessons as well as memories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For me, traveling is also an escape from my monotonous routine. It is my ultimate escape when life gets boring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know I have a lot more to explore and I\u2019m ready for it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don\u2019t get surprised that Travel Made Me A Better Person, I haven\u2019t traveled much but I\u2019m very familiar with the feeling of exploring the new.
