This is a brilliantly silly post bent on encouraging the introverts
to step outside their house and try overseas traveling!
I grew up in Japan.
I have been to several other countries on various trips.
I married a guy who’s job (Lord willing) is to travel.
But I am an introvert.
Is it possible to love to travel and be an introvert???
Most certainly YES!
1. When you are traveling, you’ll likely be in places where there’s a lot of people.
But you don’t have to interact with those people!
You actually can stay incognito and people watch
because others are distracted by everything around them.
I like to people watch, do you?
2. If you are going to a country that doesn’t speak your language,
you have every excuse not to talk to anyone!
3. Have you ever tried ethnic food in its respective country??
That’s reason enough to go!
And it’ll give you some good conversation topics when you are back with society.
4. Ironically enough, traveling overseas allows me to meet new friends.
And it’s kinda nice, they typically live all over the world
so maintaining their friendships is easier
because you are reduced to social media and email.
(Pretend Skype & Facetime don’t exist!)
Are you an introvert?
Do you like traveling?
So many great memories, Al – love your thoughts and pictures!
Thanks!
I agree, I think that as an introvert I can appreciate being in a foreign land in a unique way. definitely love people watching, definitely love the anonymity it provides.
Good thing we aren’t celebrities or anonymity may be hard to manage 🙂
