Travelling is one of the best ways that you can clear your mind and get to see the world at the same time. And because we live in a digital world, we have a tendency of wanting to capture every moment and post it on our social media platforms.
However, there are some who feel that it is always best to travel without your smartphone and actually no gadgets, to begin with. That means that you will have access to the world that you left behind.
Why People Travel Without Their Phones
Reason For Travel
One of the reasons why people choose to travel without their smartphones is because of the reason for their travel. Take for instance if you simply want time to be alone in a whole new world and disconnect, then leaving your phone is a good way to do it. Some people travel in order to disconnect from the world so that they can reconnect with themselves.
Destination
Another reason why people choose to travel without their smartphones is the location or the destination. There are some places that wouldn’t need a smartphone. Like if you are on pilgrimage, for instance, it is also a form of travel and one that we are sure does not require the usage of your phone.
Period
And then there is the period of travel. People have the misconception that travelling means you have to go for weeks. However, travelling can be a few hours and it makes all the difference. Therefore, for some people who are travelling for a few hours they feel that their phones would just be a distraction as such it is simply better to leave them behind as they and peace and quiet. And as much as we do love our smartphones, they can be quite loud and annoying.
