Traveling

When I think of traveling, I say this is part of experience that we should do.

Personally, I believe that we learn a lot during the time we travel around. As some people say, we can meet new people and different cultures. At least, our perspective of life can be more open. If you are willing to perceive it, you would definitely gain a lot. Even from little piece.

The question here is, do we really obtain such experiences.

Let’s be honest here. It is true that some people are traveling in order to please their bodies. Their main purpose of traveling includes shopping, eating out and hang around. It makes me concern about the nature of traveling itself. I’m not so judgmental for those who travel to enjoy. But if you go abroad only for enjoyment or wandering around, it is just waste of time.

Few years ago, I met one of my classmates who had lived in Japan for about 5 years. When we were talking about his experiences in Japan, it made feel disappointed. This was because he hadn’t learn anything about the culture. Maybe, my expectation was high. Actually, I’ve never been to Japan. However, my knowledge of this country, which I’d read from books, was better than his.

All comes into the conclusion, it is important to travel for gaining knowledge, experience and seeking new ideas. If you try to notice, there are lot to discover from destinations. Just be open to absorb new opportunities.
