I travel because.....i just love it

 I love to see different places, different people, different culture, tasting different food. It also opens up my mind, teach me to be independent & make me realised that we should always be thankful for everything....

I travel because it enlightens the soul, warms the heart and uplifts the spirit, to learn the history of the country (esp countries with Islamic history), meet people from all over the country, experience their food and cultures. "Reading" the creations of Allah SWT, reflecting on the creations. Alhamdulillah. Following the sunnah of Rasulullah SAW ?

I travel because... it's one of the magical feelings you experience upon reaching your destination. You get to meet new people, eat their local food ,soak into their culture and history, dip your feet into their daily life activities and just plainly sitting around enjoying the holiday moments. That's why I travel ❤️❤️❤️

I travel because we live only once and travelling is the only way for me to see Allah creations, and find the true color of myself.

Nadiah Kamarudin on Facebook

I travel because it broadens my horizon and worldview as well as takes away the pain and suffering that builds up in our life and replaces it with laughter, joy and awe.

Ahmad Wazir Aiman on Facebook

i travel because it's my dream. My happiness, it leaves me speechless, then turns me into story teller. You go out from your comfort zone and you're able to do things you never knew you could do. Everything changes when you travel, you will have different points of view, you grow up and when you're having problems while travelling, you can't run away from it, you have to face it! It makes you strong to face it!

I travel because as quoted by Imam As-Shafi "in travel there are five benefits: relief of adversity, earning of livelihood, knowledge, etiquette and noble companionship." And it's during these travels that I see with my own eyes how God is great!

Ahmad Zulhilmi on Facebook

I love travelling because I love the feeling of being lost. Being in unfamiliar places and unknown surroundings, somehow it humbles me and taught me that I am not as great as I think I am. Exploring the beauty of God's creation, brings me a step closer to The All Mighty. Travelling awakens my soul!

I travel because I want to collect stories for my children - people/ nations, cities, places, cultures, designs, environment concepts, master plan, parks, flowers, pictures, landscapes, transportation, buildings, food, etc - I will tell them that travelling is a great lesson to learn many pages about this world. I travel because from the experiences we get, we learn tolerance, we gain knowledge, from many nations we met, we pray more, feeling grateful for the differences around the world.

- @purplenigma on Instagram

I travel because I love creating memories that are full of life, to be able to feel what it's like at different places and to be able to appreciate the littlest things that you gain

- @mhrhnrsn on Instagram

I travel because I can't stay still for too long. My legs are always looking forward to new roads, eyes are looking forward to new places and culture to be seen, hands are always typing new locations on Google to be explored, and most importantly, heart is always saying "Let's go!" but brain says "Where got money?" ?

- @zaktanwanderlust on Instagram

I travel because I believe God created this world for me to see every corner of it! ?

- @letteread on Instagram

I travel because we are ambassadors of our own religion and culture. What better way to share it by meeting with other people along the way!

- @_mhafiz on Instagram

I love to travel because it allows us to see life through unique lens and challenge our conceptions of conventional. I like to eat too! ?
