Limitations Of Travelling

I love traveling, and not just because it’s fun, but because it exposes you to another lifestyle outside of the norm. According to nbc news, “ Traveling is very good for your health”. Communication skill would improve while traveling because you are less on your phone so you are more social towards others. Traveling can also inspire different ideas based on what was seen. Traveling can also help you get to know yourself because you are away from the hassle of everyday tasks, and you get to learn new things. Traveling on this trip will give me more knowledge as well.

In her essay, “Seeing”, Annie Dillard describes that someone’s perception of the world are based on preconceived judgements and ideas. Traveling is an example that illustrates that there are many different perceptions of the world, depending on the person. When one travels, their impression will be affected by expectations of the trip. Often, if someone has an image in their head of how traveling will be, they aren’t open-minded to diversity. An individual’s perception of traveling can be affected by what people find enjoyable, their tolerance of creating intercultural relationships, and their appreciation for their own life.

Next I will talk about the social situations that affect the travel to long haul destinations. The poverty in a lot of long haul destination countries reaches the extreme levels where beggars are around every corner. Tourists have to be really careful with showing what they have and showing their wealth as the beggars end up making them feel

From my travels, I also learned that there can be more than one solution to a problem. Indeed, having a variety of perspectives makes it easier to come up with approaches to different problems. My travel experience has strengthened my interpersonal skills, as well as my integrity and determination.

Those who make a habit out of traveling the world, more often than not, become more of an extrovert than they may have been prior to their many journeys. It is no secret that those who make the choice to travel more often have a bit of extroversion in them, however, even the least social of any group typically find a way out of their shell when traveling. No matter the destination, it is the various interactions with people from foreign backgrounds, beliefs and cultures that present a challenge to the normality that most individuals cling to. These initial interactions create a comfortability, or openness rather, to engage with new people and see humankind through an altered, more optimistic lens than once

Throughout history, the progressions of mankind has given way to a perpetually globalizing world. Globalization, the “process of interaction and integration among peoples of different nations, has strengthened human ties while our race has formed societies in every corner of the globe. As our world becomes more interconnected, the resulting blend of cultures has led numerous societal features to be shared between peoples, blurring cultural division lines. Globalization’s tying binds may frustrate many modern travelers seeking unique and special travel experiences due to the standardization of destinations resulting from increasingly cozy international social relations, but continued and extensive human travel has demonstrated that the essential human urge to move is a product of our search for fulfillment in what is unfamiliar and will not be suppressed by global interconnection.

For some travelling can be a way to escape it all and even find love.

The average vacation brochure presents images of sandy beaches, luxury hotels, massages at spas and leisurely dinners. Traveler's recline in a world insulated from local cultures with rest and relaxation being their focus. On the other hand, adventure travel often entails adrenalin spiked, curiosity driven activities that test personal endurance with peaceful interludes embracing nature and learning about other cultures. Adventure travel often takes participants to foreign lands, but North America's residents can visit the Four Corners Region of the United States and discover cultural and athletic adventure travel at their fingertips. They need no passport to touch a sovereign nation's rich history.

In Amanda Machado’s article: “How Millennials Are Changing Travel,” she argues that due to seeing people’s retirement being wiped out, young people have realized that they cannot trust putting off seeing the world for late in life. This, coupled with the fact young people have little opportunities at home, has led Millennials to choose to take longer and more meaningful vacations than the previous generation. Millennials not only see traveling as a break from their boring home-life, but as an opportunity to reflect on their future, bolster their education, and better understand the world. Being one of these “Millennial travelers” I can identify with many of the arguments the author makes. For the entire 2014-2015 school year, I was studying

Ever since I was a couple months old I have been travelling. Flying from coast to coast and country to country. I have flown on nearly three hundred flights domestically and some internationally. Internationally I have been to Paris, Toronto, Jamaica, and Cancun. I have been to Cancun twice as I vacationed there for my final spring break before high school graduation. Domestically, the most notable place I have flown to constantly is Buffalo, New York where my father’s family is from. Traveling has allowed me to experience new places, foods, and culture.

“Oh the places you’ll go” by Dr.Seuss was my favorite book ever since i was young. Hearing the title brought my mind to countries, cities and oceans waiting to be explored .As I got older I learned that there was much more than just sites to be seen. I learned that there was human geography, international relations, comparative government and politics, and international law and much more involved into becoming apart of the world .I’ve gotten opportunities to travel to Portugal,Spain and Puerto Rico. Usually when people my age travel they want to be the beach and go to waterparks when I travel i like to learn the government, geography and their politics. I’m very interested in the world around me. In intermediate school and elementary school

After reading the article, one point that most caught my attention was how the writer said that there are many more nice people in the world than there are bad people. I find it unjust on how humans tend to emphasize on the bad acts of other people rather than the kindness shared and kept in the minds of the generous. Another interesting point that the writer concluded the article by saying how much of an experience you would lose than gain if you stayed at home. I like this idea that you have to get up and attack life. Live life to its full potential and live in the moment because you will lose much more than you gain if you stay complacent.

Traveling can broaden ones mind and make them more creative. When traveling, the different culture can give a person new ideas and allow them think in a different way. One study by Galinksy, an American Social Physiologist, proved that traveling makes people more creative. Throughout the study, they examined directors in two hundred and seventy high-end fashion houses, and“ researchers found a clear correlation between time spent abroad and creative output: The brands who creative directors had lived and worked in other countries produced more consistently creative fashion lines than those whose directors had not (Galinksey).” Having a new insight to the world, and immersing yourself into a new culture and language can help open one’s eyes. I experienced this first hand when I had traveled to foreign countries. Traveling has

Travelling is important as it can remove the unintended prejudice that individuals carry out rashly. Sometimes, people unconsciously treat others differently solely based on their own beliefs. Since their judgement is based only on opinion, therefore it may be inaccurate to use when addressing the persons around them. However, exploring the world may lessen your tendency to be prejudice as you will gain detailed insights to the way others think, the way others see, and the way others live. Thus, this will allow you to not make foolhardy assumptions when being in contact with a society or community as you will be more knowledgeable to understand why they are the way they are. Removing prejudice from our lifestyle is very important to us as open-thinkers as we often make many mistakes in the treatment of other human beings. Prejudice is an undesirable trait to possess because

After working for 3 years, I was burnt out at work and wanted to rediscover myself and I could only think of travelling. But I always had this feeling that something is wrong. Neither I’d the money nor intention of wanderlust. I was just lost or maybe I want freedom of expression without being ending up in jail. I don’t know it yet. But one thing was sure and that was: I want to experience the world through the eyes of others. Living the lives of others or living with them provides you a window to enter their lives. I have always believed that travel breaks you free. My mind was conditioned to travel. I had changed almost a dozen schools by the time I completed my graduation. Oh boy!
