Four ways travelling in India prepares you for every trip you’re about to take

If you’re a traveller born and brought up in India- you’ve hit gold.

Using public transport while travelling in the country unconsciously trains you to survive all odds and strengthens your will-power.
If you think about it, it kind of prepares you for any situation you’re faced with when you’re travelling in a foreign country and is a blessing in disguise. Trust us.

Don’t believe it yet? Fine we’ll give you proof.

Here’s listing four ways which give you enough practice for any trip you’ll take in your life-

1. There will always be enough space: There is no bus or train that is ever crowded enough. Travelling in Bangalore buses, Delhi metro and the famed Virar local has taught you the most important thing you’ll ever have to know- There will always be enough space. Crowded spaces don’t make you scared any longer- you’re used to being the fifth person sitting in a seat meant for three. This ability of yours will come in handy when you’re staying in travellers’ hostel abroad.

2. You’re used to all the waiting: Long queues are synonymous with travelling in India- be it waiting in line to catch a bus, enter a musuem or getting a train ticket. No amount of waiting in any part of the world will ever match up to all the waiting you’ve done while travelling in India. Moral of the story? Waiting in the elevator line to get to the top of the Empire State building, queuing up for concert tickets or waiting for the subway is all a piece of cake for you.


3. You can digest anything: Consuming street food and eating the oiliest snacks all your life has been enough practice for your cast-iron stomach to digest almost anything. Thus, when you’re travelling abroad, you’d be the first one to gorge on all the exotic food the country has to offer.

4. You’ll always find your way around: Living in a country like India, chances are that you’ve been lost or ditched way too many times in India to not be able to find your way around when travelling abroad. Getting lost in a foreign country won’t scare you one bit- instead it’ll give you extra determination to find your way around.
