Falling in love with Travel

“If we were meant to stay in one place, we’d have roots instead of feet”
Rachel Wolchin
​

The earth is one of the most powerful text books that ever existed. 

​Reading words on a page, and watching documentaries on National Geographic do not do justice to the beauty and unique cultures that exist in places we’ve never heard of.

The only way to learn about the diverse beauty of the planet we inhabit is to travel and see the world for ourselves.

Without travel, the only information we would have about the world is the distorted  information we see on the news or on television.

That’s why so many people are falling in love with travel and the possibilities that it gives us.

Traveling brings you lifelong memories

Let’s face it.

Nobody ever remembers the time they spent typing away in the office later in life.

Few people look back fondly upon the nitty gritty associated with never ending routines and the unchanging drama of daily life.

The truth is you’ll only get one shot at life and the mundane memories are not the ones that stand out to us in the end.

The wild adventures, the lifelong memories of traveling somewhere new and the relationships we build along the way are the ones that will continue to mean something for many years to come.

You’re never really alone when you travel

However, what stops people from meeting the world is the fear of traveling solo. Many wonder whether it is practical or even dangerous to travel solo.

While traveling alone certainly has its benefits, it is also true that finding a like-minded travel community can make an adventure so much more powerful.

​
Our app has made it so much easier, safer and more practical to connect with people all over the world and travel together.
​
When you download the WiGo Trips app, you’ll be able to connect with ambassadors and other travelers who are organizing a trip to some of the most sought-after destinations in the world.
​

However, if you prefer to go off-the-beaten-track instead, then you’ll find plenty of untouched destinations which will give you a truly unique adventure.

Traveling helps you to appreciate our common humanity

Traveling is not just about the attractions you will see or the places you will visit. Of course, those things are awesome, but the real treasure is the people you’ll meet along the way.

The powerful memories come from the conversations, the meetings and the interactions you’ll have with the people that you encounter.

You learn so much more about yourself and the societies you visit when you view them through the lens of other people.

Of course much of this depends on who you are traveling with. Choosing the right people to connect with is half the battle.

Or at least it was until WiGo Trips came along. ​

Now, you have total control over the trips you join and the people you connect with via the app.

The app also allows you to view the profiles of other people who have signed up to the trips.

You’ll get the comfort of knowing that the people accepted to the app have been verified as part of our security processes.

So the only thing you’ll have to worry about is wondering what to pack for your upcoming trip.

By connecting with other individuals who share your passion for travel and have a similar perspective, you are setting yourself up for a trip of a lifetime.

The sheer beauty of traveling in this way makes you realize that there is a common thread between people of vastly different cultures. 

It also gives you a renewed appreciation for the aspects of the human condition that bind us all together.

You’ll fall in love with travel all over again

There’s something quite poetic about being immersed in an alien world and realizing that despite the variation in our cultures and environment, we’re not so different after all.

And sometimes all it takes is a wild adventure in the right direction to make us realize that.

Be warned however: there is every possibility that each time you embark upon the ultimate journey abroad, you’ll fall in love with traveling all over again.
