Reasons you should travel while you’re young
I have been very lucky to travel around the world while still young. According to my experiences, I advise every young person to get out of their hometown and see what’s out there. Here are three ways that traveling has changed me forever. 1. Traveling changes the way you connect with the world.
I grew up in a small town. 36 When you travel to other countries and see the amazing beauty of sunset overseas, monkeys swinging through rain forests, and so on. you realize the world is full of more beauty than you are able to see in a lifetime. But, you still want to try.
2. Traveling changes the way you connect with others.
Everyone in my hometown looked and acted basically the same. 37 I realized that my life could be enriched by developing friendships with people who didn’t look or act like me. Far from my hometown, I developed friendships with people who were nothing like me, but were exactly what I needed. 38 3. Traveling helps develop your interest in education.
39 Just reading the stories in books seemed boring to me. However, when I visited the Palace of Versailles in France and walked in the halls of the Louvre, I couldn’t help but have interest in history. 40 A. Traveling taught me not to fear. B. Traveling makes history come alive. C. Sadly, I never liked history in school.
D. When I traveled, I learned about other cultures.
E. It also taught me the importance of communication skills.
F. The older I become, the more I realize I actually know very little about life.
G. If I hadn’t had the chance to travel, I would have a difficult time imagining much else outside my country.
