Travel is a Hobby for Sensual Experiences

Traveling is for the adventurous of heart or curiosity seekers. Open your eyes to new scenery, different peoples or cultures, government and politics, an assortment of different foods, religious practices, poverty and prosperity, activities, and more.

Traveling is for those who wish to see beyond their front yard, their local community or their country. Monies spent will be dependent on the travel destination. It can be from a few dollars to thousands of dollars.

Men, women and children can enjoy the hobby of traveling. How you choose to explore or the activities of participation will depend on your physical abilities.

For example, both men and women can work a camera, but each in their own way. A woman may take her shot from a secure site and a man may want to suspend himself off the edge of a cliff for his shot. Generally speaking, children will mimic their parents. Anything a man can do, a woman may also attempt to do but in a different manner. This is a good thing because each gender gives a different point of view.

Traveling may be defined as sensual because you use all six senses. Going to, being at, and leaving your destination will have you experiencing sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, and your sixth or instinct sense. Travel satisfies the physical, mental, and spiritual restlessness within our being.

• Sight – A camera is a must when traveling. Capture on film whatever gives you visual pleasure. Or time permitting you may wish to sketch or write keeping a journal log for your memory.
• Sound – Listen to exotic birds, sea life such as whales and seals, language, music and much more.
• Smell – There are many odors in our environment. Traveling gives you the opportunity to actually inhale the odors which you may have read about in your wish books or watched on video or in a movie.
• Taste – Foods and drinks from different locations will wake up your taste buds.
• Touch – Feeling the different textures of the environment is an amazing experience.
• Instinct or spiritual sensations – How our inner being or emotions feel from experiencing what was once strange to our being and is now familiar.

It is very easy to become addicted to traveling because it is rewarding in many different ways.

Traveling is gaining first hand experience and knowledge which helps to confirm what you have read or to gather material for your hobby or personal interests.

Looking through books, magazines, videos, DVDs, brochures and pamphlets gives a wonderful way of traveling without leaving the comforts of home. The traveler, however, wants to gain first hand knowledge by seeing, smelling, touching, hearing, or tasting their interest.

Coordinate hobby interests with your senses as you are traveling. Take along a camera for visual memories of still shots or a video camera to capture action and sound. Unfortunately, no one has invented a machine which can capture different odors. Enjoy the sweet aromas of your favorites by being there in person.

In the home we can feel the warmth and soft fur of our pet. Traveling to see other animals will allow us to touch the flesh of many different animals. Touching a snake, alligator, elephant, or a dolphin is a new and exciting experience.

The sounds around the world can be heard on video, audio tapes, and other mechanical devices. However, listening to sounds in their presence results in different effects for the mind and body. As an example hearing a lion roar on audio is rather flat when compared to standing by a zoo cage or on a safari and there is a lion roaring in the background. It can be very unnerving, chilling and numb minding.

The sense of taste is another element for which a machine has not been invented. Traveling to experience foods around the world is very different from going to a local exotic restaurant. These foods have been modified to encourage customers returning or the availability of the “real” food or seasoning is not available and the missing ingredients are replaced with substitutes.

Experience different cultural foods, their utensils or none, and rituals or ceremonies for or involving certain foods is a tasting event gaining gastronome knowledge.

Looking at a delectable dish of seafood in a magazine creates a desire to satisfy your palette. But experiencing each dish in its own country is an awakening reality for our taste buds.

Sitting in an outdoor seafood restaurant located on the shores of an ocean where you can see and hear the ocean waves as they move in and out from the shoreline and smell the salt in the air adds an atmosphere of reality as you enjoy a fresh seafood platter.

Enjoy the treasures of the sea when visiting the seashores of continents or tropical islands known for their oceanic cuisine.

Traveling will allow you to enjoy local cuisine at its finest. Eat fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts of various countries. Pineapples, mangoes, coconut, and guavas eaten from a can or frozen is unlike its fresh form.

Dried squid and fish do not compare with squid dishes from the Greek Isles, Italy, and Orient countries.

A Delicious apple from America does not compare with the Mountain apple of Hawaii.

When visiting the Latin American countries try these particular fruits Tamarind and Cherimoya and two of their vegetables known as chayote, and napal.

Scenery abounds all around us. Visit beaches and oceans, mountains and forests, grass and wildflowers and grass plains, deserts, colossal waterfalls, boulders, rocky areas, and man-made structures. These environments can be explored above ground, at ground level, and below the earth’s surface.
