Travel is all about change of environment where you get lost in a completely new and unknown environment. It offers you a chance to know the unknown. And, more importantly travel helps you discover your inner self. Vacations or even short holidays help us in relieving our body, mind and soul from our daily life of rat race. It provides us with some relief and mental peace.
