Experience

Travelers in history did not have comfortable transportation facilities as in our age. Some of the roads were eroded by horseback, some by sea and some by walking in difficult conditions. Despite many epidemics that changed the course of human history, discoveries continued and each era was reshaped with these discoveries. People who pioneered the developments that shaped the ages in many fields such as trade, invasion, science, art, religion, geography, philosophy, language, nature, culture and medicine were travelers in history. Though some have hit the road as secret agents of certain empires or states, their adventurous travel continues to inspire modern-day travelers.

According to scientists, curiosity is the drive to learn new things. It causes the secretion of dopamine. People feel happy in this way. Traveling is as old as human history. Curiosity is one of its strongest triggers. The definition of "traveler" of the modern age has changed. The global travel industry has reshaped the concept of "traveler". They have developed many methods to keep people's curiosity alive. One of them is the "travel influencer" profession supported by various brand sponsorships. Modern travelers do not discover but re-present what is discovered. Instead of writing travel books that take months, they blog, vlog and share in seconds on social media platforms.
