I wanted to write and essay about how modern stressful life affects us and how travel can help us about this. Please if you find mistakes or weird expressions correct them. Thanks in advance for your help.
Our modern life is a frantic struggle. We have to deal with lots of responsibility that sometimes even don't give us a chance for self-reflection. Long work hours cause us to feel overwhelmed. Lack of connection with nature makes our life dull and grey. At one point we need renewal. Traveling enables us to get that renewal. For me traveling a destination surronded bu nature is the best way for renewal. Exposing stillness in a upland can be a rewarding activity. Actually the main purpose for all of this is staying away from responsibilities, burdens and problems just for some time so that I hae time to know myslef. When the one thinks he or she will understand how hard to know himself or herself. It's surprisingly hard and modern life style makes it harder. We don't know ourselves because we can't hear the inner voice. What we want, who we want to be with, where we want to be... All of this have already been answered by the society. When I ponder about this now I understand why Montaigne chose to write his book in a remote place. He even said ''otherwise it wouldn't have been mine''. İn order to appreciate the world around us I think firstly we need to understand ourselves. When we view traveling from this perspective it can be a life-changing activity. It can leave indelible marks.
