I don't know if any who haven't travelled before should read this post... But come on! Why haven't you tried that activity yet? You should really because you're surely going to feel more happy than what you were feeling before you did.

And for those who have traveled before... I want to get our minds to thinking of this if you would allow me.
How was your first ever traveling to explore like?
How did you feel when you first saw a sight you've never seen before?
Yeah... Travelling is mainly about adventure and fun but maybe that's just the way I want to define it but I see and hear people say "Travelling is the movement from one place to another" not far from the truth. After all, you need to move from a place to another to get a feel of the adventure that comes with it.
Back to what this post is all about... There is a special feeling to traveling for the first time... The before, during and after the first travel.
Before the first Travel
A new traveler who was never a traveler got a chance to explore a part of the world. I'll use myself as an example to explain what it feels like before a travel.
Excitement would be an understatement for me because I would be so impatient to see the place and what it has to offer. Mind you, it isn't a place you're familiar with but a place you've only heard or read about.
Before traveling to such places, my excitement grows because I tend to find out about how it is to travel to such places before I do so I could be able to wait with my too much excitement.
We tend to look forward to seeing something better and nicer than we normally know.
During The First Travel
You're finally out and so ready for the first experience of going out to somewhere new. You don't know how it will turn out in the end but your excitement would take the better part of you as you watch in awe all the new things and people you come across.
Humans tend to find new things so amusing even if those who have been used to it find those same things not so great. Traveling for the first time would make one have fun with whatever except the traveler really doesn't have a liking to the experience... That is kinda impossible, don't you think?
During our first travel, we find ourselves agreeing to whatever nature has to offer, whatever people say about what we see and whatever the bill boards writes to us.
Taking pictures, writing diaries and blogs takes over, trying to save memories for later.
After The First Travel
I'm sure we've seen a person who was drunk the last night and the next morning, the person still feels the hangover from the other night... Travelling does that too. After your first travel, you find yourself thinking back to the experience over and over again until your next travel.
After the travel, you tend to wish for more travels even if it will be to the last place you visited, you just want to visit a new place again.
I could say the after first travel is the most exciting part because you've experienced how it really feels like to go out of your home's comfort to somewhere new.
Reliving the past travel moments and wishing for another one will just be it.
Traveling is much fun when the resources are there and a heart that loves to explore is there too... If you've never travel before, start planning it. First travels are the most memorable to making more memories.
Ill like to add here what @jeennicious said in her post titled Exploring Bukilat Cave - My First Time Ever
Nature is indeed both unpredictable and astounding. Something that makes you want to discover more, to see how beautiful they are all created naturally.
Try out traveling and watch yourself fall in love with nature over and over because you keep wanting to discover more.
