Well, that post prompted me to write this article on why you should travel internationally at least once in your life.<\/p>\n<p>Since I talked about spontaneous trips earlier, May of 2016 was when I made the most impulsive decision of my life&#8230; and I&#8217;m not sure if I&#8217;ll ever top it. It was my last day of my internship and my mind was officially checked out &#8211; all I could think about was summer, summer, and more summer. Shortly after lunch, one of my friends called my cell phone and told me he had found a [really] cheap, all-inclusive vacation to Costa Rica. The catch? We had to take off a week from that day. Being young and craving adventure, without thinking twice I transferred money to my friend to book the trip. The most difficult part\u00a0of this decision was figuring out how to explain to my parents that the following week I would be leaving the country for eight days.. yikes! That decision, though, was one of the best decisions of my life. Here&#8217;s why:<\/p>\n<h2>5 Reasons Why You Should Travel Internationally<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>It&#8217;s relaxing.<\/strong>\u00a0 You don&#8217;t HAVE to go a tropical country to be relaxed (although, it does help). Beach or not,\u00a0it&#8217;s still nice to catch a break from reality for a few days. You have no responsibility other than to enjoy yourself.\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_2961\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2961\" style=\"width: 213px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2961 \" src=\"http:\/\/nucamprv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/02\/Coconut-Beach-227x300.jpg\" alt=\"Drinking from a coconut. This is a reason why you should travel internationally.\" width=\"213\" height=\"281\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2961\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I was living in paradise. Here I am drinking coconut water on the beach.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n<li><strong>The world is beautiful.<\/strong> This might sound obvious, but I had no what I was missing out on until I traveled internationally. I&#8217;m not saying the United States isn&#8217;t pretty, because it is, but there is SO MUCH more to see.\u00a0Being in a different country lets you experience the world through a completely different perspective; it&#8217;s breathtaking. Earth&#8217;s beauty will help you appreciate life a little more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You&#8217;ll learn different cultures.<\/strong> No matter where you go, you&#8217;ll come across many\u00a0different cultures. I encourage you to talk with the locals and befriend them; they&#8217;ll help you get around and make your trip an enjoyable one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You&#8217;ll meet people from all over the world.<\/strong> While I was in Costa Rica, I met people from all over the United States, Australia, England and Mexico that ranged from ages 18 to mid 50&#8217;s &#8211; we still keep in touch. What I&#8217;m saying is that you&#8217;ll spend your vacation with the same people (depending where you go) and you&#8217;ll become close with them. The people you surround yourself with are the people that will\u00a0make your trip\u00a0<em>that<\/em> much more memorable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You&#8217;ll create memories that will last a lifetime.\u00a0<\/strong>Between the beauty of the nature, different cultures, and new friendships, the memories from your travels will last you your entire lifetime. I often find myself going through photos\u00a0from my trip and thinking about what I would do to go back. Until next time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>The Bottom Line<\/h3>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re in college, a working professional, or retired, you deserve a break from reality. Plus, it&#8217;s good for your health to get away for a bit. Take the spontaneous trip. Travel internationally. And splurge a little. You&#8217;ll thank yourself and you&#8217;ll have the time of your life doing so.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>&#8220;Take vacations, go as many places as you can. You can always make money, you can&#8217;t always make memories.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>&#8211; Unknown<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remember my blog post about going on a spontaneous road trip?\u00a0If you don&#8217;t remember reading it, chances are you missed it, so go ahead and check it out after you &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/nucamprv.com\/blog\/5-reasons-travel-internationally\/\">Continued<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2930,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[67,68,64,66,63],"class_list":["post-9766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nucamprv","tag-getaway","tag-international","tag-nature","tag-travel","tag-vacation"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Why You Should Travel Internationally - nuCamp RV<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"There will be a time in your life when you have the opportunity to travel internationally.
