You must be wondering what this title is about. Yes, let me carry you away to the beautiful experience of travel.
You would have heard many things about many places but for me, the best way to overcome all these false information is to travel. Actually speaking, travel is a remedy to our fears. I used to ask people about travel. Some of them used to be afraid to travel to far off places but when questioned they would tell me that they have heard some fairy tales or stories from friends about certain places and hence, they were afraid to visit those places.
I would recommend such people to actually travel to those places and experience the goodness and beauty of the place.
Truly speaking, travel will help one to explore the world, get to know many languages, become friendly with different types of people, taste different types of food, wear clothes of different styles and so on.
The world is created for us to enjoy. Its beauty is there for us to admire. So, we should all try to travel to far-off places, at least once in our lifetime.
We would have seen people who travel often are pretty knowledgeable in everything. Especially they tend to learn about different cultures and traditions. Through travelling, we learn that people of all cultures basically share the same hopes and aspirations that we have.
Travel teaches us many aspects like when we travel to an unknown place, we learn how to adapt to the new situations, new culture, tradition, language, food, climate and new people. So travel should be an integral part of our life. Every place is unique, it has its own beauty, so being a part of this world, we should try to travel around and enjoy the beauty of different places in the world.
There are many positive ideas which we can adapt from different countries through travelling. The way of life, the rules and regulations, the respect people have for the environment, the different disciplinary measures they follow, the cleanliness, the economic conditions, the art and architecture and so on.
Travel transforms a person into a refined human being, after all the experiences gained from different places. By travelling we become more independent, we become open to knowledge and we develop the willingness to accept change.
By moving to unknown places, we are able to get out of our comfort zone and we become more informed about the happenings around us. This is good for us and the planet. So let’s become explorers and learn as much as we can from travelling around the world.
