“The world is a book; those who do not travel read only one page”.
Hi, I am Yasmin Sait.
How can I write about my enriching experiences here in such a short space?
16 or 60 Age is just a number. At our age, this is the best time to spice up our life and do things that will give us extra confidence in our physical and mental well-being and lead to a happy and fruitful life. We have spent years looking after our families and children because that was then our priority and prime responsibility. And now, it’s time we shift our focus and enjoy our own being more than before as we reach the sunset years of our lives. Let’s learn to apricate and be kind to ourselves.
Time and again, we have heard these proverbs: “You will remain like a frog in the pond.” If you don’t cross the boundaries and comfort zones of your home. Travel a mile away from your home, and you will never be the same person again. Because travel teaches you about different people and cultural experiences. It puts you on your toes and makes you smarter.
Recently, I developed my new love for travel with a purpose, talking about my book “Manan “Delving Deeper Into Oneself.” Meeting women from different walks of life and connecting with NGOs that work for women and exchanging words to empower women to find a purpose.
Last year I went on a solo trip in December to Darjeeling and Pondicherry in February. I felt so regenerated and alive after both my trips. I don’t know how to describe my experiences as they were so enriching.
In reflection, I realized my travel experiences will always keep my mind refreshed and charged.
I don’t believe in regrets, so “When the last bell rings”! I don’t have to say, “Oh, shit!” I missed all the fun when I would have lived a better and more beautiful life. And I learned there is not much that one wants from life as we grow older. All we need is inner peace and happiness, and the ability to show love, kindness, and empathy to the people we cross paths with. And lastly, not being judged by anyone for who we are?
Sometimes solo travel does not mean taking a flight, train, or bus. It would also mean MANAN Delving Deeper, taking a journey within yourself to learn more about yourself, and amend the choices you make. One step at a time.
