There are many reasons why I encourage people to travel, and I know that the experience will make one a better person.

I remember when I was traveling that l began to know the world better. The world is not just about me. my small town and home. Although you will meet different people from all over the world. You will realize that people are similar in their dreams. hopes and feelings.

Enjoy exploring the different cultures. and you will also find that people are different in some of the things they do and how they live. Once you understand their ways. it need not be strange or scary. Often we read stories about other cultures in books. Only when we visit their areas. Do we find that those stories are sometimes wrong?

One thing you may find out is that there are problems all over the world. We cannot just get money to send to these areas and hope that will work them out. The world should get involved(干预) and help wherever there are problems. People everywhere should be given a chance. It is so easy to ignore(忽视) this if one does not travel and explore. One can look around and see that so many people have many challenges worse than ours. One can realize that sometimes our biggest problems are not that big after all.

On your journey you will meet lots of new friends. Talking to strangers and finding about their lives is a great way to spend your time. You will certainly be more confident after having to cope with problems and make many decisions along the way.

When you travel, you have to be on your own in some situations. You will surprise yourself by how well you can do that. All your special experiences could make an interesting book to read. It would be filled with all your adventures and special memories.

Traveling around and seeing so much happening in the world around us is a wonderful experience. If we could an just travel a little more and share our experiences, we would all be better people and the world would be a better place.
