    Travel Alone? Group?

    • 531 Words
    • 3 Pages

    First of all I would like to focus on travelling alone. As I have explained going alone means travelling to a new country without the company of a friend or a guide. The positive things that you can get are that there are more freedom in adventures you can go to, you can walk on your own pace, you can experience things your map doesn’t tell you like an exotic transportation using a rickshaw, perhaps you have family along the way of your travel you can go visit them on your way, you can choose who you want to be friends with during your trip, and many more. But the downhill of this is that you might get robbed and if you are in another country and you don’t have any relatives you may get conned and get lost in your way, the visa would also probably be harder to get and if you promised to go to somewhere and you don’t get a permit your planned trip will only be a waste of time and energy.…

    Education believes that travelling gives students an opportunity to think and explore for them what the world is about. World now a days use travelling to promote education and there is no measurement system to gauge a person’s learning scale because each is unique in their own way. Traveling has become an inseparable part of modern living. We travel for business, for sight-seeing and for necessity. Travel makes a man perfect though we all knew nobody is perfect. Travelling refines our knowledge gained from books. Whenever we gained some information from a particular book, we often try to imagine those things that we read and then later on we would want to travel to different places to try those things and ideas that we just read from a book. Ideas strike root in the heart we do things we love and part of it is travelling. Travelling make us feel whole and new. Try to imagine a man at the top of a mountain, he realizes the littleness of his own self and he feels the pettiness of human quarrels and conflicts, and a sense of realization raises him to a higher level. Beyond this and above all is enjoyment, which is the main business of both travel and education to increase as they can. Travelling makes we realize those things that Education cannot. Believe it or not youths now days will pick travelling than Education. When as a matter of factly we can pick both. Youths are more aggressive than we expect them to be and even I would pick some thrill than something boring and plain. Why will I stick to something old when something new and educative is waiting for me? But because Education is important professionals today are acknowledging and raising some Educational tours like Fieldtrips and Seminars to make youths more interested in the way that they will also be benefited to the Education and Information that they will gather throughout the tour. This kind of learning experience is like a…
