You must have heard people say something like "Young people nowadays like to spend the most, usually just traveling, shouldn't that money be saved, it's more important to save it for old age?" or something like this "why traveling, it's better to use the money for more useful things".

Not a few of those who heard those words became hesitant to go on a tour, even though from a financial point of view they were quite sufficient. But the following are things that might change the way people view traveling, that traveling is not a waste.

Reward after saving

It is impossible for people to travel when they do not have a penny of money, to travel requires struggle. A year or two years of small portions of food with a half-full wardrobe and minimal personal care also may not necessarily meet the cost of travel accommodation.

Those who can travel are those who are committed and have gone through periods of suffering when saving, especially young people.

Let this be an award for them by traveling.

Investation

Isn't youth the right time to invest? When we travel, what benefits do we get? Time is a very valuable thing in life, people often say use it well. Of course traveling is not a waste of time, the happiness of each individual lies when they take advantage of the time they have with their own desires or goals. There are people who think to travel around the world when successful later, there are people who have started their journey while pursuing success.

When we have the opportunity to travel, it is an investment that certainly gives satisfaction.

Refreshing

Eating and drinking is a need, clothing is a need, but all these needs may not necessarily provide a satisfaction. When the need demands, there we will work hard to fulfill it. Work is a demand from life and the environment to survive, but without rest and refreshing it is certain that our bodies will find it difficult to support our performance. Therefore, taking a short break by enjoying the beauty of the world outside of work or college can restore the spirit of our main goal of working and of course when we travel, we must be aware of the importance of the work we do or the main reason we go to college.

Confident and independent

When we travel, we will definitely do everything we can to get maximum satisfaction with minimal expenses. Many young women and mothers now do solo traveling or backpackers. With the capital of travel packages in social media advertisements or advice and tips from the internet, they dare to go on a trip. Around 40 percent of women in Indonesia admit that traveling can give them confidence. And not only that, when they travel alone, it also teaches them to be more independent. With the memorable photos they got and their ups and downs, traveling is not meaningless.

So in conclusion, when we are considered wasteful when traveling, on vacation, or refreshing, then we can calm down and remember the things above that we got. Time is a precious thing, take advantage of it while you still have it, and invest not only in money but through everything we have done while time has passed. "Physical and mental health is a necessity, we should not be too immersed in demanding physical needs but always remember to get refreshment through other activities and experiences are important things that can never be replaced by money," said Pak Habibie

"One of the keys to happiness is to use your money for experiences and not desires"

Finally, we no longer need to hesitate when we are ready, wasteful means waste of money, waste of money means we get nothing from spending the money, but on the contrary we get a lot of things from traveling. Traveling is not wasteful.
