Through the World Who never traveled to an island and the company just lost your luggage? I stayed on a beach for three days with jeans and a white t-shirt. Sometimes we have to be prepared for some inconvenience during the travel. There are many benefits of traveling. One of the most interesting features of traveling is meeting and embracing new cultures. It is funny when you find yourself doing the same typical and boring things in a new interesting way. For example, the daily habits like drinking coffee are very different from one coffee to another. In some countries, they prepare your food in front of you while in other countries they might eat things which are not desired by other cultures. For example, Japanese food is mostly cooked in front of customers. One can’t learn about these things unless you travel and live for a while within another culture. As an international student, you have already experienced a variety of other cultures by traveling to Seattle. Getting lost in the bus station or following the GPS in a wrong way are some anecdotes from a good traveler. Another valuable benefit of traveling is getting out from our shell. Once we travel, we lay down our shoulder all the stress and frustration and our typical issues. We clear our minds and learn new things that will help us to go on with a faithful look to our life. Traveling helps us open a new page and be healthy in both body and mind. For example, a friend of mine was living in Libya and there was a war there;he was so stressed and confused about his future. Once he traveled to France to do his major, he was involved into another culture and a new environment. He started to value life and began a new page. Moreover, discovering scintillating places is a benefit of traveling. Out there in the world, there are some historical places that can take you to different points of time. These places could make you forget all life responsibilities and teleport you to a whole different world where only you and history are there. In addition, traveling is the only way for architecture or nature lovers to fill their passion. Places such as The Maldives, Tanzania, and Iguazu Falls are places for nature lovers to see the breath-taking natural surroundings. Never forget, architecture lovers, that places such as the Eiffel tower, the Colosseum, the Taj Mahal, and the Pyramids are places where you will have to get a deep breath after seeing them for their scintillating structure. In sum, the best and most efficient way to explore life and nature is by traveling. In conclusion, traveling is a way for people to run away from routine and life accountability. It is a way to show how big our world is and how enormous its nature is. It is a way to travel in time. Sometimes to the past and some to the future. In historical places, that would be the past, but some museums take you to the future, where it shows how a bright future will be. That is what we can expect from traveling, so people ought to travel to experience a whole new life as many of us are doing right now. Majed Rackel (Level 6 IEP)
