Does Everyone Need to Travel?
Millennials are traveling at higher rates than other age groups, edging out the far wealthier baby boomer generation, according to the research company Morning Consult.
There are many reasons why people travel the world. Some people travel to see new places, meet new people, and experience different cultures. Others travel to learn about the history and different ways of life. Still, others travel to relax and rejuvenate.
Whatever the reason, travel can be a rewarding experience that can open your eyes to the world around you.
Here are a few of the benefits of traveling the world:
- See new places. When you travel, you get to see new places that you would never see if you stayed home. You can visit different countries, explore different cities, and see amazing natural wonders.
- Meet new people. Travel is a great way to meet new people from all over the world. You can learn about their cultures and their lives. You might even make some lifelong friends.
- Experience different cultures. When you travel, you get to experience different cultures firsthand. You can learn about the history, the food, the music, and the art of different cultures.
- Learn about history. Travel can be a great way to learn about history. You can visit historical sites, learn about different cultures, and see how the world has changed over time.
- Relax and rejuvenate. Travel can be a great way to relax and rejuvenate. You can get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy some peace and quiet.
- Challenge yourself. Travel can be a challenge. You might have to deal with different languages, different cultures, and different climates. But overcoming these challenges can make you feel more confident and capable.
- Make memories that will last a lifetime. Travel is a great way to make memories that will last a lifetime. You can share your experiences with friends and family, and you can look back on your travels with a fondness for years to come.
If you’re thinking about traveling the world, I encourage you to go for it! It’s an experience that you’ll never forget.

Vacation spending is equal to about 2% of the total budgets of all U.S. households annually; however, only some households report these costs.
When it comes to pleasure trips, it’s a tale of two Americas: those who hardly spend a night away from home; and those who drop an average of $4,700 on vacations each year.
The average cost of a domestic vacation is $1,550 for a solo traveler, while the average cost of an international trip is $2,300. To ease costs, be flexible with your dates and destinations, use a credit card with travel rewards, and pack light.
As of 2020, the average price of an Antarctic cruise is $10,000. However, the cost depends on which itinerary, ship, and cabin you choose. Prices can start from as little as $6,000 and go up to $50,000.
Telling Life Stories around the Globe Beyond Antarctica:
The Financial Griot is a play on two words (Finance + Griot) that hold significance in closing the wealth gap while embracing our differences. We tell the stories that others don’t. Stories about growth, opportunity, and embracing changes. Beyond that, we talk about Finances. Specifically, how to become Financially literate, incorporate actionable steps and ultimately build generational wealth.
Can you imagine being a Millionaire in 20 years or less?
