10 REASONS TO LOVE THE WORLD

[Dani ♡]

 

Life’s been a bit rough of late; terrorist attacks, bombings, coups, a seemingly endless wave of migrants fleeing war and poverty; it’s enough to make you want to seek comfort of home and never leave. But what would that achieve? We should love the world we live in. Getting out can cure that negative mindset. Pack a bag and just go, seek out the beautiful landscapes; enjoy the stars shimmering; smile at strangers; and you’ll realise how lucky we all are. Here are 10 experiences from the last year that, in no uncertain terms have reminded us WHY we love the world.

10 Reasons To Love The World

#1 Because travelling the world together reminded us that journeys are better shared with someone else

#2 Because, from the moment we arrived in Nepal, we felt a spiritual side to life we’d never known and it was awesome

#3 Because, standing on the soaring sand dunes of Sossusvlei in Namibia, we felt small again

#4 Because we visited a community based ecotourism project in the Cambodian jungle and realised that communities working together can make positive change

#5 Because watching the sunrise sitting atop a 1000 year old temple in Bagan reminded us how wondrous the world can be

#6 Because during Sinhalese new year, the locals on Sri Lanka’s public transport helped us whenever we needed it, which reminded us that 99% of people are good

#7 Because we lived in Cape Town for a month and can now say we’ve lived in the world’s most beautiful, vibrant and friendly city

#8 Because, after visiting Seven Women in Nepal, we realised that one person’s vision is enough to make a huge difference to the lives of many underprivileged women

#9 Because, walking through Rome’s ancient streets made us realise that great empires can crumble, and that’s important to remember

#10 Because views from the top of a mountain in Nepal are the best views in the world, especially after walking for a week to get there

We’d love you to share what experiences made you love the world again!?
