Travelling as a part of education

Traveling has been considered as a part of one’s education. Traveling is no doubt one of the most delightful experiences of mankind. People have always enjoyed going from place to place seeing men and things. Traveling both inside and outside the country is a powerful aid to education. It provides an experience of the world and calls into action and practical use of various qualities of mind and intellect developed by education. Those who travel widely are generally liberal in outlook. They have maturity of judgment and good in their understanding of people and their mind. Traveling is no doubt extensive and sometime inconvenient. But for the broadening the mind, growing out of narrow views, for development of international culture traveling inside the country and also beyond it is absolutely essential. There was a time in India when foreign travel has been not much encouraged, and in fact, there was a time when crossing the seas was declared to be highly sacrilegious. On the contrary, traveling abroad these days are highly encouraged. Traveling helps us in learning new languages and culture of people in other areas. The learning of a foreign language is the first step towards the understanding of that nation. In the present day world the understanding between the various nations of the world is a great necessity. There also can be no peace without international understanding. We are all living in one world and unless the inhabitants of the world understand one another well there cannot be any prospect of peace between the nations of the world
