Travelling can be an expensive hobby but it also is compensates the financial loss with all benefit. If a travelers have interest in life and its manifestations, they can find much to keep themself happy and absorbed. One can definitely find everything that satisfies his intellectual and sensuous cravings.

As a hobby, travelling keeps us busy during leisure time; it is the best method to use time. Till a person breaks from dull routine, physically and mentally; one cannot find satisfaction. Travelling helps us to achieve this break. At a new place, one is curious to know and eager to gather all the unknown information about the place which he has neither read nor heard before he gets thrills and surprises which keep the interest and enthusiasm alive and encourages us to keep our journey on.

While travelling, one comes across a number of people from varied backgrounds and places. By interacting with them, he comes to know about their heritages also. In case one has psychological bent of mind, one increases one’s experience and power to understand others. Understanding human nature is, perhaps, the best part of education. Travelling satisfies all demands of a good hobby – it is absorbing education and refreshment to the mind, body and soul.

There are many activities that people do in their free time to relax their stressed mind. Among long list of varios activities, there is one I’m interested in, that is travelling – an informative and adventurous hobby which is also one of the most popular pastimes. For some it is a waste of time and money. They argue to use an alternative like read a book or watch a film related to places to be travelled.
