Everyone keeps saying how important it is to travel. So what's all this fuss about? Why do people travel and love travelling?

More importantly: why should we travel more?

The benefits of traveling are not just a one-time thing: traveling changes you physically and psychologically. Having little time or money isn't a valid excuse. You can fly for cheap very easily. If you have a full-time job and a family, you can still travel on the weekends or holidays, even with a baby.

2020 has been a tough year for travel - to say the least. But don't let that discourage you from making travel plans in 2021!

Here are some of the main benefits of traveling, in case you need convincing. And I'm sure that once you get started, you'll find some more yourself!

1. Traveling Improves Your Health

From cutting down on stress, to lowering your chances of developing a heart disease, the health benefits of traveling are huge. You may stay sitting on a chair all day long at the workplace: including some walking to your trip is sure to make your body feel better. For some people, wandering abroad is even a cure for depression and anxiety. Of course, it's not a foolproof cure, but it might help you feel better, both physically and psychologically.

Traveling more is likely to have a tremendous impact on your mental well-being, especially if you're no used to going out of your comfort zone. Trust me: travel more and your doctor will be happy. Be sure to get in touch with your physician, they might recommend some medication to accompany you in your travels, especially if you're heading to regions of the globe with potentially dangerous diseases.

2. Traveling Lets You Disconnect From Your Daily Life

This is closely related to my previous point. We tend to get so caught up in our daily lives that sometimes, by simply sticking around, we may do ourselves more harm

than good. Your boss is taking over your life? Kids are driving you mad? Your parents are trying to make you live the life they want? How long do you think you can handle this pressure before you burst and everything falls apart?

Sometimes it is best to take a step back, take a deep breath and take go that Tower Bridge selfie. In all seriousness, travel is not a bad option - it is the most natural way of inducing the feeling you miss someone or that you are missed. The trick is to leave with a bit of preparation to avoid making a mistake during your journey. Plus, if you're flying, you better start thinking about booking your tickets sooner than later.

3. Traveling Makes You Smarter

Get used to picking up new words in a different language every time you travel and you will see improvements in your brain capacities, as Dan Roitman wrote in the Huffington Post. If only this, start getting familiar with travel jargon.

Even more than "just" languages, traveling helps you learn about yourself. You might run into challenging situations where you need to be resourceful and think differently. I'm sure that you will develop a new set of skills that you didn't suspect you had within you.

4. Traveling Improves Your Understanding Of Other Cultures

Why we travel may differ from one person to another, but people travelling always develop empathy and a deeper understanding of other cultures.

Being more understanding and tolerant about a culture different than ours is part of being smarter, but I consider it as a benefits of traveling in itself. There is a quote by Saint Augustine, which goes “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page”. You could think of it this way: if you read what's in the news or watch the news on TV and don't question it, you're missing on a ton of information. You might think that it makes you smarter and more aware of the world, but it's the exact opposite: it narrows your mind to a unique and biased perspective.

Sure, you probably feel comfortable where you are, but that is just a fraction of the world! If you are a student, take advantage of programs such as Erasmus to get to know more people, experience and understand their culture. Dare traveling to regions you have a skeptical opinion about. I bet that you will change your mind and realize that everything is not so bad abroad.

5. Traveling Makes You More Interesting

I have no doubt that you're quite the conversationalist. That being said, including a few stories from abroad is likely to grant you even more attention. Mentioning something that most people aren't familiar with or bring a new perspective is always a good way to shine in a social situation. No need to write a whole travel essay, just discuss what you've seen and where you've been: people who are accustomed to their daily life will travel with your words.

During my trip to Egypt, my Airbnb host and I went out for dinner. He had been to some many different places, the conversation lasted all night long, and I wasn't bored for one minute.

Who do you think people want to listen to: the guy who spent his vacations at home doing some gardening and reading the newspaper, or the one who spent a week in Cuba, driving an old American car, swimming with dolphins and tasting deliciously spicy food? I know which story I want to hear about...

6. Traveling Allows You To Try Amazing Food

Speaking of food, I bet you're one hell of a chef and your home meals are delicious. But there is no such thing as trying a typical local dish from another country. Don't trick yourself into going to the Sushi shop next door: you don't know what sushi tastes like until you've been to Japan. As you travel, you discover the real thing, and discover that it's usually very different from what you're used to.

Eating local food in a new country is an entirely new experience. All the flavors are different. Here me out: I'm French and I love our local recipes. You do to. But let's not kid ourselves: some change would be more than welcome in our daily diet. If only because we're naturally curious. Some food bloggers travel thousands of kilometers for a specific dish! The least you can do is travel to the next region and try something new.

7. Traveling Makes You Feel Like An Adventurer

Despite the fact that the world has never been as well connected as today, there are still places that are little known to the average tourist. Setting up a list of places you want to visit is extremely motivating. You have something tangible to go after. I'm currently working on my own bucket list, and I think I'll never see the end of it, with all these amazing destinations.

The benefit of traveling to a new place is that it forces you to face the unknown and think differently. You don't need to go spend a month in the jungle! If you live in a large city, just going on a hike over the weekend will make you feel different. Adventures require novelty, so get out of your comfort zone. It might be scary, but in retrospect, you'll see it as the best decision you ever made!

8. Traveling Expands Your (Real) Social Network

Believe it or not, social networks was once like a real thing - in real life. Crazy, I know. One of the main reasons why I love traveling is that I believe that establishing connections and building a network abroad is one of the smartest things you can do in today’s world. It is sometimes hard to build long-lasting relationship with the people you meet abroad, but it doesn't mean it's not worth meeting new people!

Take this example: I've spent last year's New Year's Eve in Tanzania. I slept for two days at the flat of an Egyptian expat. I met him on Couchsurfing, once of the best ways to find cheap accommodation when you travel. Now, a year later, this guy invites me to his wedding in Egypt! How amazing is that?! Some connections you make over your travels are surprisingly strong.

9. Traveling Let you Create Lifetime Memories

My grandfather was an amazing story-teller and he used to tell me stories of the trips he made when he was younger. One of my favorites is how he tried eating with chopsticks in China for the first time. He regretted not traveling more as a young man. Years later, he still remembered everything in details: because traveling made a real impression on him. And it probably will on you too.

No matter how insignificant it may seem, the fact that you've had an experience abroad, something that was out of the ordinary, creates a memory that you will remember for a long time.

I think that creating those memories is why many people keep traveling.

10. Traveling Makes You Love Your Home Even More

“The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back”. You will truly understand the meaning of those words by Wendy Wunder, only upon your return home. On the one hand, it would seem that you’re back where you started, same setting, same people, same problems. Yet you’re not the same - you’re new, full of new knowledge and ideas!

I know that I was getting bored after living my whole life in the same place. I needed to get out, I need a change of scene. I was focusing only the negative: how there isn't much to do around, how you always meet the same people, how nothing changes. Now, when I come home, I'm glad about all of this and I see only the positive.

Final Words On the Benefits of Traveling

I hope that this travel article makes you want to travel more in 2020. As you travel, you realize that the world is a much better place than what you can see on TV when watching the news.

There is a quote by Mark Twain that I love: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.” Cliché as this may sound, the money you spend on travel, is an investment in yourself. Travel doesn't make you feel as bad for spending money.

There are several reasons why you should put green house cleaning on your list of yearly garden tasks. We all know that plants need the right conditions to grow, and one of the basic requirements is light. But if you’ve been spending more time looking down at your seedlings, rather than up at the windows around you, you might not have noticed how grubby greenhouse glass can get! 

Since cleaning greenhouse interiors regularly can also minimize the spread of harmful bugs and diseases, we’ve put together this step-by-step guide to getting your greenhouse thoroughly clean.

How to clean the greenhouse interior

A warm, sunny day in spring or autumn, or a dry day in winter ­– when the greenhouse is fairly empty – is the best time to get started. Make sure you protect your clothes and put on rubber gloves before you set to work:

1. First, remove any plants from the greenhouse and put them in a sheltered spot in your garden.
2. Use a brush or a vacuum to sweep down any tabletops, remove cobwebs from corners, and completely clear the interior of debris. Make sure you also remove debris from the floor.
3. Using a commercial greenhouse cleaning product (read the instructions on the label), or soapy hot water and a microfiber cloth, clean the glass, metal, and plastic interior parts of the greenhouse. Make a mental note of any damaged panes of glass that need to be replaced. Then rinse with clean water. Allow to dry.
4. Next, use a commercial antibacterial spray like Cif antibacterial multi-purpose spray and a microfibre cloth to wipe down your tables. Remember to follow the instructions on the label of your product.
5. Depending on your floor type, consider washing it down with an appropriate floor cleaner, making sure to follow the directions on the label.
6. Disinfect any empty pots and tools before replacing them inside.
7. Once everything is dry, reposition your plants before tackling the outside of your greenhouse.

How to clean exterior greenhouse glass

Cleaning greenhouse glass needn’t be that complicated – just take care while you’re up the ladder, and be careful not to press too hard on the glass. Also, it’s best to clean greenhouse glass on a moderately windy day to allow the breeze to help the drying process along.

1. Gently clean away any moss or dirt that has built up on the outside of the greenhouse, then you can start washing.
2. Use a commercial greenhouse cleaning product (read the instructions on the label), or hot soapy water and a squeegee mop or a sponge.
3. A ladder can be helpful to reach high up areas or you can try attaching a sponge to the end of a broom. When using a ladder, make sure it’s placed on steady ground and wear shoes with good grip.
4. Remember to watch out for any broken panes of glass (wear gloves to protect your hands when cleaning greenhouse glass). Replace these once the rest of your greenhouse is clean.
5. Let the glass air dry and your greenhouse should now look sparkling clean.

Like the depths of the ocean, much of what lies within our jungles and rainforests remains undiscovered. The mystery and beauty of these landscapes lure in nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts alike.

There are hundreds of jungles and rainforest across the globe, housing most of the planets known animal species and hiding many more. They are an environment worthy of our protection and admiration, and how better to learn about these biodiverse landscapes than by visiting them. These are our pick of the top 10 rainforests and jungles well worth making the trip to. Just don’t forget the Deet.

Top 10 Rainforests and Jungles

The Brazilian Amazon, Brazil

When people think rainforest, they likely think Amazon, and understandably. The Amazon rainforest is huge! It covers 6% of the surface of our planet and produces over 20% of our oxygen! A majority of the rainforest, over 60%, is found in Brazil. Something to consider when deciding which of the 9 countries, over which the Amazon spreads, that you want to visit.

 Sinharaja Forest Reserve, Sri Lanka

At only 21 x 7km² what the Sinharaja Forest Reserve lacks in size, it makes up for in biodiversity and untouched wilderness. Spared from over-logging due to its difficult to access terrains, the reserve provides for it’s bordering villages with tourism and fertile soils. It is estimated that 60% of the reserve’s trees are endemic and many of these are considered rare. Beyond the trees, the Sinharaja Forest Reserve is also home to a variety of native animals found nowhere else on the planet. Like the green pit viper and hump-nosed vipers.

Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda

Deriving its name from the thick forests of tall bamboo and dense ground cover of ferns, vines and other plants the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, is difficult to enter on foot. ‘Bwindi’ also means Impenetrable in the Runyakitara language, so you know it’s got to be hard to access if they’re saying it twice. The Impenetrable, Impenetrable Forest!

The Daintree, Australia

The Daintree is the world’s oldest tropical rainforest, estimated to date back over 180 million years. As a result, in the lush rainforest, you’ll find some pretty prehistoric plants. The Daintree is more than just old plants. Within its borders, there are also gorgeous white sand beaches and an array of insects, birds, reptiles and mammals. Many found nowhere else is the wild. You can explore the rainforest on the many walking tracks throughout or even drive around, stopping to explore the towns and butterfly sanctuaries as you do.

Manu National Park Cloud Forest, Peru

Manu National Park is an incredible reserve in southern Peru with a wide variety of landscapes, flora and fauna. One of the most stunning environments is the Cloud Forest. Cloud Forests are forests at such a high altitude that they are quite literally up in the clouds. The climate is generally much cooler leading to some unique and furry inhabitants like the spectacled bear. The Manu Cloud Forest sits at an altitude of over 4000m above sea level and, fun fact, is also home to Peru’s national bird, the Cock of the Rock!

Monteverde Cloud Forest, Costa Rica

Another cloud forest in our top 10 rainforest list :/. The Monteverde Cloud Forest in Costa Rica can be explored in more ways that one. There are extensive trails through the park that you can explore on your own, or with a guide. A guide is often a good idea as these protected lands are full of hard to see animals, a guides eye is trained to seek out. The Cloud Forest is in fact home to all six species of the cat family jaguars, pumas, oncillas, ocelots, margays, and jaguarundis. You can also discover the forest from above from the hanging bridges or whiz through the treetops on a zip lining tour.

The Kanha National Park, India

The inspiration for Rudyard Kipling’s famous novel ‘The Jungle Book’, The Kanha National Park, is a mix of landscapes. From lush bamboo forests to grassy plains it’s easy to see why Mogli would have wanted to stay in this jungle rather than return to the world of man. The National Parks biggest drawcard, however, is not The Jungle Book but the tiger! The core of the Kanha Tiger reserve, these elusive cats are regularly spotted roaming around. There are other rare animals as well like the Swamp Deer, which the reserve saved from extinction!

Lacandon Jungle, Mexico

Stretching from Chiapas, in the south of Mexico, down into Guatemala the Lacandon Jungle is the definition of tropical. Lush vegetation, humid climate, stunning coastlines and an abundance of jungle animals and plants. The Lacandon is also home to some of Central Americas most incredible archaeological Mayan sites. Unfathomably far from the source of the rocks carved and carried to build them, hidden in the dense jungle you can explore the Palenque, Yaxchilan and Bonampak ruins. You may even hear or be lucky enough to see jaguars in their natural habitat.

Danum Valley, Borneo

For most of human history, there were no human settlements within the Danum Valley. As a result, this paradise escaped much of the destruction caused by industries, like logging and farming, other rainforests have faced. The rainforest is home to some of the most unique and rare animals you’ll ever see in the wild. Think, Bornean orangutans, East Sumatran rhinoceros, gibbons, mousedeer and clouded leopards. All very “wow” sounding animals am I right! You can explore Damun Valley at night on a night jungle tour, or try your luck at seeing the animals during the day. There is also some incredible bird watching and river swimming to be done!

Papua New Guinea

Over 70% of Papua New Guinea is covered in tropical rainforest, and for this reason, the whole nation makes it on to the list. It is one of the most rural nations in the world, with only 18% of the population living in urban centres. It is also one of the least explored, both culturally and geographically! So what are you waiting for! Go and explore this incredible country.
