How much of the country you call home have you seen? Travelling in your home country comes with a host of benefits including, saving on travel costs, learning more about your home’s heritage and much more. Here are reasons to explore the country in which you live!

Make Friends Closer to Home

One of the pleasures of travelling is meeting new people along the way; however, the more distance there is between you, the harder it can be to stay in contact. Travelling within your country allows you to meet people in your own backyard and hopefully build relationships you can continue for years to come. 

Grow Your Knowledge of Your Country

We should all strive to understand the place we call home. Travelling provides us with the opportunity to better understand our country. Staying confined to your own city or town only allows you to experience one piece of the puzzle. Broadening your horizons, to include the other parts of your country, allows you to see the bigger picture and grow your understanding of the country in which you live. 

Travel for Less

Staying within your own country, instead of travelling abroad, can help you travel for less. Travelling in your own country can remove the need for expensive airfare and vaccinations that would be required going into other countries. 

Take Advantage of the Conveniences

Opposed to a trip to another country, travelling in your own country can pose fewer challenges. For example, you won’t have to worry about the currency, will likely know the language and will be more aware of cultural norms and changes than you would be if you were travelling overseas.
