If you never travel abroad, you are missing out. Worse, you don’t even know that you are missing out.
Here are the top 5 benefits you will receive by traveling abroad:
1. You will see that there are different ways to live your life
While human nature remains the same, human behavior changes vastly across cultures.
If you spent your whole life in the same culture, your worldview will tend to be rigid. Traveling abroad will open your eyes to a wider variety of ways to live your life.
Human nature is the hardware that all humans are equipped with. The cultural programming and the propaganda you were imposed upon in your home country is the software that operates on the hardware. Most of your beliefs and behaviors aren’t the results of your nature. They are the results of cultural programming, propaganda, and brainwashing.
When you immerse yourself in different cultures, you will broaden your horizons in ways that you can never do when you spend your whole life in just one culture.
The more I travel, the more my fellow countrymen look like programmed robots to me. They think they have free will but in reality, all they have is a way of living that was programmed into them. Moreover, it’s outdated programming that no longer works in the modern world.
2. Traveling abroad will increase your odds of finding better women
We already established that human behavior changes vastly from culture to culture. Women are no exception.
Traveling abroad has entirely changed the way I see women. I learned to appreciate femininity. There’s nothing in the world that can replace the feminine energy that a jolly and sweet woman can provide for a man.
The downside to this is you can no longer tolerate the behavior of women with attitude. My standards for female behavior have risen so high that, not only I can’t tolerate an unpleasant woman in my relationships, but I also can’t even stand observing them.
For example, when I was visiting Amsterdam, I went to a high-end, expensive steakhouse. At the next table, there were 2 young men and 2 young women, all Dutch. The young men apparently brought these girls to an expensive steakhouse to win them over. But, the girls didn’t look happy. When you look at their facial expressions, you would guess that they are smelling a plate of shit but in reality, they were looking at a menu filled with some of the world’s most delicious and most expensive dishes. Their dissatisfied attitudes infuriated me. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for these young men who had to put up with the bad attitudes of those spoiled, unpleasant, and ungrateful girls.
If only they could go to, say, the Philippines, and take a pair of decent girls out, the girls would not only be sweet and respectful but also they wouldn’t even need to be treated in an expensive restaurant. Through a simple screening process, they could find girls who are just happy to be eating noodles with them.
Another advantage of traveling abroad is seeing that age-appropriate dating is a joke. Unlike in Western countries, young women-old men pairings are completely normal in a lot of developing countries.
3. Traveling abroad will increase your value and status as a man
When a woman travels abroad, she will put all kinds of pictures documenting her experience on her online dating accounts, Facebook, Instagram, or any other media. Moreover, she has to tell everybody that she went abroad.
Women do this because of projection. They find a well-traveled, adventurous man attractive and think that men will find the same things attractive. Nothing could be further from the truth. When I see a well-traveled young woman, I’ll automatically assume that she did it on her dad’s or another man’s dime. Additionally, it’s a well-known fact that women act sluttier when they are traveling. I immediately write off well-traveled girls as not being relationship material.
Nonetheless, this doesn’t change that a well-traveled, adventurous man is of high value in the eyes of women. By traveling abroad, you will not only be able to demonstrate high value to any woman you meet but also you will never run out of subjects to talk about.
4. Traveling abroad will build you new skills
When you live in an environment for extended periods of time, you begin to live on autopilot. Everything is familiar. You know how to rent or buy a house, where to eat, where to shop, where to party, how to build a social circle, and so on.
When you find yourself in a new country, you will have to start from scratch. You’ll learn ways to find places to stay, eat, party, shop, and people to meet. You’ll discover some of the talents you didn’t know you had, and build new skills which you didn’t need at home. You will also develop systems that work for you, regardless of where you go.
For example, before traveling, I didn’t think I would ever need to build bigger muscles. I believed having an athletic build is enough for me. Traveling abroad has clearly shown me that I need to build a system that creates instant attraction with the local girls wherever I travel. I discovered that a big, muscular physique is attractive to women all over the world. Being attracted to muscular men is hardwired into the female brain. Bodybuilding is a system that works in your favor to create attraction from the get-go, no matter where you are in the world.
Since you’ll have to start from scratch with the local girls wherever you travel, it’s good to have a system working for you before you even open your mouth.
5. Traveling abroad will motivate you to make more money
I have no idea what I did in the first week of September 2012 because it was a time that I was toiling away in a corporate job. Every day would be the same as yesterday, just like in the movie Groundhog Day.
But I remember every single detail of what I did in the first week of September 2011 because I had traveled to Odessa, Ukraine on that week.
Travel can be regarded as something that extends your lifespan without having to add years to it. When every day is the same, you don’t feel that you are living. You are just coasting.
When you are traveling, you will be exposed to new experiences which have zero chance of occurring in your hometown.
Once you get the travel bug, you will be extremely motivated to gain your financial independence by making more money, preferably from a location-independent business, so that you can travel more.
Conclusion
All the 5 benefits mentioned above will help you achieve an innate masculine desire: Realizing your potential.
When you have no hope for the future, it’s easy to brush off self-improvement because what you think you will get in return isn’t enough to motivate you to improve yourself.
When you see with your own eyes what’s possible, you will find a new purpose in life. You will find new goals worth working on.
I highly recommend every man to travel abroad, even when it’s for shorter periods of time. While traveling abroad isn’t magic by itself, it will help you build your own magic by providing you with the benefits above. Traveling abroad helped me massively to turn my life around and I hope it does the same for you too.
