As an individual, we all believe that learning happens outside the classroom also. While coming to learning and get educated on specific and practical things it has to be outside of four walls. To discover more and to get educated, travel is the best way to learn. There are countless things to see, people to talk, cuisines to try, activities to do. Leaving your comfort zone and stepping out to the real world teaches you a lot instead of sitting in one place and learning.
There are so many reasons to say that travel is the best education for us but I would like to share a few things here.
It helps to discover yourself:
Travel, It helps you to understand who you are. You are free to select what you want to do without any restrictions, you are free to choose where you want to go, find your interests, It helps you to find what is your passion and also you can discover within yourself that what are you missing after coming miles away from your home. You can also get to know what is your likes and dislikes, It also shows you whether you can adjust to the situation or not.
Finally, it helps you to discover what you love more. Thinking whether is it right or not? Don’t think, pack your bag and try to know by traveling.
Encourages to develop socially:
Through travel, we can have so many connections with people around the world. People who easily mingle with people it is the best opportunity to understand people from different parts of the World. It also helps in improving communication skills and it can share each other experiences and this leads to friendship. It takes a lot of courage for a person to talk with unknown persons but some do you notice that we will talk with the unknown person if we need any help. Mostly we will do this while traveling. It helps two unknown persons to help each other and to know about them.
Offers you to learn new Languages:
No one can learn new languages in one or two days but traveling gives a first-hand opportunity to learn a new language and to survive in that place for time being with the known language. Often, some people will learn basic words before visiting that place to interact with the locals.
The more they interact they will get command of the language that much. Moreover, this also helps an individual in career enhancement.
Experience Local food and cuisine:
Food! who else will not love it? Through travel, you can discover the new tastes of the world. Always trying local cuisine will help us in knowing more about their food habits. Each country has a different recipe and method of cooking. We can have a new experience in our life that we cannot find anywhere except in that place.
Take us to history:
More than books and stories, travel will take us to history like visiting old monuments, Old cities, Historic places. We can go and witness ourselves and learn about the history of various countries. However when you travel to a certain place you can actually feel the events live.
According to Saint Augustine, “The world is like a book. And, those who do not travel read only a page.” Basically travel is the best form of education that amplifies your knowledge and Personality.
Helps to develop you management skills:
As we know traveling to a destination requires lot of planning and course of action. Starting from packing our bags to reaching our final destination everything needs to be organized in advance. It helps us to stick with our timings otherwise we will miss the best places to see. It leads you to make decisions effectively of what you want to do and we will also be responsible for the entire tour. It helps you to become self-dependent and find out ways to work things in the toughest situation.
Three things what I have learned from traveling is:
1. How to develop our Management skills
2. How to adjust to the situation
3. Interacting with people
