Traveling is not just about going out of your house and to another foreign place, spending money and having fun. There are also a lot of things which you can learn from doing so. You don’t only get to enjoy and relax but also take with you great memories, discoveries, and realizations. When you travel, you might not notice but it actually enhances your creativity. In what ways, you ask? Keep on reading and see how.
[1] YOUR VIEW EXPANDS.
Traveling lets you go out of your comfort zone and your familiar space and enables you to view the world in a wider view and in a different angle. The view is either literal -- your sight -- or figurative -- your thoughts on things.
As you step into a place new to you, you gain a lot of experiences, and you see how the world is big and at the same time small. You realize how highly appreciated the beauty of diversity must be. The world is a variety of many things, and you are free to inhale creativity in the atmosphere.
As you travel, doors of discovery and improvement open for you. You discover that your home isn’t the only beautiful place. The world is a big room of creativity where you can just get all creative as long as you want and in the way you want.
[2] YOU MEET DIFFERENT CULTURES.
Cultures all over the world are many and distinct from each other. That’s what makes diversity even more interesting and amazing. From every culture, you learn something new. There are several things from every culture that may come to you as a surprise [or a shock], yet when you go back home after traveling, you remember it, and it becomes a special memory with you.
You may use that encounter with various cultures in order to broaden your art and your style. For example, you can use a certain design which is derived from a specific culture and put it on your house. Cultures are full of creativity -- and that is to say that being creative isn’t really objective as for how "criteria for judging" are made.
[3] YOUR EYES ENCOUNTER VARIOUS ART FORMS.
Wherever in the world you go, you can find art in many forms. Paintings, dances, songs, sculptures, abstract arts, movies, and whatever the artist says art is. You go inside museums, hotel accommodations, restaurants, malls, and other establishments, and you get to see incredible designs and architecture. Interior designs in buildings and places you visit can be outstanding as well.
You know how competitive and of course, creative, designers are today given that people currently pay a lot of attention to their surroundings’ appearance and ambiance. You can expect eye-catching and breath-taking art forms wherever in the world you are as you let yourself travel.
4] YOU WANT GOOD SHOTS!
Probably a bit unexpected one in this list is this. Nowadays, photos and videos are inevitable wherever people go and whatever people do. Especially when you are traveling to foreign places, you need this important documentation of your remarkable travel memories.
When you take your travel photos, you know it’s one challenging thing especially if you’re a photo perfectionist. Many people travel to many places, and if your competitiveness is really “something”, then you don’t want any common pose or angle. That’s when your creativity works naturally. Even your photographer who might not know a lot or anything about taking good photos will learn a lot and might improve too.
Photography is art, and with travel, you are free to take photos however you want. Your eyes are the real lenses, and you use the camera to freeze that moment you see.
TRAVELING AND CREATIVITY
Traveling does many good things to you, your body and mind. It leaves marks of whatever you get from it and the place you visit, and one of them is improved creativity.
