Are your opinions really your own?

Every day, each of us is exposed to an overwhelming amount of opinions and views. Do this, think that, go here, eat there. In fact, 48% feel we’re exposed to too many opinions on what we should be doing in our own lives.

In truth, the world has so much more to offer. And life’s too short to live according to others anyway. But that’s just our opinion.

Go see for yourself.

At KAYAK we belive that it’s more important than ever to zoom out and see the world for yourself. The world always offers a different perspective. A different opportunity. It’s too grand, beautiful, diverse, noisy and messy to be neatly enclosed in a screen or someone else’s opinion.

Don’t let others define your world.

That’s why we encourage you to go out and see. Because the more of the world you experience, the more your own world expands.

And that’s actually not just our opinion.

58%

72%

72%

54%

say that travelling helps them trust their own beliefs and opinions more

We recently conducted a study among 1,007 Brits asking about how much the opinions of others influence our travel and life decisions. The findings reveal that many of us feel exposed to too many opinions, both offline and online, about how we should live and travel – so much so that it’s becoming hard to know which opinions to trust. 35% of 18-30 year-olds have even abandoned a travel idea they had because of someone else’s opinion.
