Does travelling make a good hobby?

In a word, yes. A hobby is an action done to feel joy, so travelling has got two advantages – the pleasure of travelling itself and the joy of falling in love with your home country again. There are multiple reasons, including getting familiar with cultures. However, staying in another country for a week may not show the country’s actual colour; but, it makes you understand and appreciate their culture more than never visiting there. It’s not hard to be a documentary discoverer or armchair traveller, creating an “expert” outlook built on photos and books, but it’s far more tangible to be there. Travelling brings the opportunity of making new friends. Although most of their friendship doesn’t last a long time, those different characters we bump into on the way turn into parts of the story we share for a lifetime. Every time I come back from travel, I feel a new appreciation for my country.
