Travelingbroadensa person’s horizons. By engaging in this activity, one gets a chance to meet people from different cultures and places. This way, they can learn about customs and beliefs that are different and maybe even modify theirs according to newly acquired knowledge.
While traveling, people can also learn new languages (or at least some words or phrases) or practice the ones they already know only from textbooks. After all, it is proven thatpracticingwith native speakers is one of the best ways to learn.
He expressed that, in his opinion, people who think some places are boring for one reason or another are actually boring themselves
Besides these mentionedbenefits, traveling has many others. It might be said that the list is basically never-ending since everyone can add something positive that traveling brings into their life.
Some say that planning thetripis no less fun than the trip itself. It can be turned into a fun activity of getting yourself acquainted with the place you’re traveling to. Yet, sometimes, there’s one problem that arises in this stage – how do you decide where to travel?
For this reason, you can find plenty of online lists of travel destinations that are deemed worth visiting. Here, let’s take this one fromForbes. It lists 50 destinations that are dubbed the top places in the world. Bali in Indonesia, Sydney in Australia, Paris in France, and many others can be found in it.
The Forbes list isn’t even the most extensive one. With a little bit of digging, it’s possible to find lists of100destinations or even more. But when lists are this long, it doesn’t help with the decision, does it? How do you know if places named in them are even worth visiting?

That’s where the advice of the traveler@gabescocomes in handy. In his TikTok and Instagram bios, he describes himself as an actor. At the same, a lot of his content on both platforms focuses on his travels.
Today’s mainvideoisn’t an exception. Currently, it sits at 306k views, but in our opinion, it deserves way more. And it’s due to the advice, or better said, the opinion, Gabe expressed in it.
In a nutshell, one day while visiting Vilnius inLithuania,the creator decided to film the video and talk about why he chose to travel to this destination. Basically, the reason was that he simply wanted to visit. Nothing too complicated.
To talk about why Lithuania is worth visiting,Bored Pandagot in touch with a Lithuanian internet user,Gerda. She said the country can be a nice travel destination: “As a Lithuanian, I might be biased, but I think Lithuania is very beautiful. It has natural beauty, an interesting culture, and a rich history. We’re like this little gem that many overlook.”
He also said that despite being quite young, he’s sure that he wants to spend his life exploring the places he has never been to
Circling back to today’s main video, its creator thinks that every single place you can think of is worth visiting. It’s gonna be someone’s hometown. And so, these people will have their favorite places and stories about the place, which makes it special. In Gabe’sopinion, not visiting someplace because it seems boring just shows the boringness of a person themselves.

This happens any time the country gets mentioned in any video. It summons the citizens to celebrate their existence getting acknowledged. There are evenjokescirculating about it on TikTok.
Our interviewee Gerda guessed that this happens because Lithuanians feel that their country rarely gets mentioned in the mainstream media: “We’re a small country that many people don’t know about, and hearing our name can be very exciting.”
Well, it is surely fun for us that the mention of ourorigincountry brought so much joy to people. It is also fun that many folks online are eager to explore the world and not let others influence the way they view it. It gives some hope for the future, doesn’t it?
