Whether you already have loads of buddies or not, travelling will force you to bond with people you wouldn't normally get the opportunity to. Hostels and bars are a great way to meet fellow travellers and after a night of drunken exploring, you'll have a new gang of best friends. What's even better is they could be from anywhere in the world which means only one thing...more travel!

2. It's easier than you think!

Maybe the last time you tried to learn a new language was in school. If so, travelling will force you to learn some basic words of different languages. Who knows, this time around you might find one you like and actually stick to it!

5. Tell cool stories.
