According to BusinessDictionary.com, travelling is the act of traversing through a geographic region or moving from one place to another. This can be temporarily, as is often the case, and can be for a short period of time.
Some people might agree with this definition, but some may not. The meaning of the word “travel” is vague, that is what I think. It may have different meaning depending how an individual would understand it. To me travelling is going somewhere, be it familiar or new. It doesn’t matter if it’s the place next your hometown, a mall nearby, a country, or even a place on the other side of the world, as long as you get out of your comfort zone, for me, that is travel. In order to travel, one must have a reason of why you would go to a place and leave your comfort zone. It may be because you would like to know about that place,

And because of this travelling has become a part of my life. The experience of having to travel, is like venturing out to some place but allowing me to bring back the experience to share. Just like what I had shared about what I had experienced and learned when I went to Puerto Galera (https://geodorant.wordpress.com/2015/09/21/s-quad-sea-sun-sand-and-shaira-squadgoals/). With that experience, I was able to see how different Iraya-Mangyans’ way of living was from a city girl like myself; living in an environment where I could have access of almost everything a person needs in order to survive. From how they survive every discrimination the society has given them down to how they (society) learned to treasure them, these questions have been on my mind ever since then. Because of travelling I was able to seek answers to these question. Travelling did not only made learn new things but it also made me experience the so called “time stop.” Just like when we went to Cagbalete Island in the province of
The trip being her reward for having completed school, basically her childhood. The way she connects these separate thoughts and the evenly distributed connotation of the two, signifies
Journeys often confront a person with arduous ordeals which makes them susceptible to transformations. You can see this in 'I am Malala ' when Malala clashes with countless obstacles, causing her to adapt to her situation and speak out. This ultimately allows her to transform from a normal schoolgirl to a world known symbol of peace and equality. In contrast, though, some journeys are detrimental but inevitable due to prevailing circumstances as seen in Peter Skrzynecki’s 'Sailing to Australia '. This is because, even though Peter was deported to Australia, mentally he resides in his fond homeland memories.
As we all know Christopher Columbus made his discovery in 1492 as opposed to Charles Lindbergh who became the first american aviator to ride solo in the 1900s. Therefore the major difference in years leads to many differences in travel, the things people had available, why people traveled and many more differences. I will specify the differences in the years and the advances that went along after world war 1. People travel to find new lands also to find new sources, gold and silver, and other valuables. Others will travel for money,for example just like Charles Lindbergh that had won an 25,000 dollars prize to become the first solo transatlantic.("Charles Lindbergh Biography.")
There is an old Moorish proverb that reads, “He who does not travel, does not know the value of man.” That quote resonates deep within me because I have a yearning to use my education to empower those in need. In order to do so, I need to see and experience the world outside of the one I am accustomed to. Curiosity is one of the traits that define the person that I am; because of this trait I always ask questions about the world around me and the people I meet. This is one of the driving forces behind my desire to venture outside of the United States to learn a new language and culture.
People choose to move away for various reasons, including extreme jobs promotions, traveling for experience, spreading culture around the world, etc. Exquisite developments such as cars, trains, and planes have made these activities attainable to people who choose to move away from their birthplace. Since moving is an open option, transportation is another step towards independence in humans all around the world. “Life goes by in the blink of an eye. So be sure to appreciate the many moments with family and friends that make your life complete.”
For example, Sasse views travel as, “...an opportunity to help our kids to get out of their comfort zones, learn to see different social and economic arrangements.” (Sasse 18). Ben Sasse views travel simply as a way to get out of one’s own bubble to learn about the various living situations that people, even a neighborhood away, experience. Therefore, although traveling is not the only way for a kid to be made aware of the different circumstances that people around the world experience on a daily basis, it is one of the most effective ways as they will be able to experience them firsthand. This sentiment holds true in my own life as well as for many others.
Moving is a burden that has profoundly altered my outlook on things. Going back a few years, I moved to the United States, which meant I’d have to be placed in a new school. This transition was truly and utterly difficult for me, because it happened in the middle of the school year and I was not ready for what was about to be thrown my way. I was scared out of my mind, it felt as if the walls were crumbling down on me and I had no escape route.
IDENTIFY AND RESEARCH A TOURISM ATTRACTION Introduction Tourism has experienced continued growth and extensive diversification and competition on the last decades, becoming one of the fastest growing economic sectors in the world and by consequence, one of the main income sources for many developing countries. “Every time we travel we are part of a global movement that has the power to drive inclusive development, to create jobs and to build the sustainable societies we want for our future,” says the actual UNWTO¹ Secretary General, Taleb Rifai. “This movement also contributes to build mutual understanding and to safeguard our shared natural and cultural heritage,” he completes. A sustainable and responsible approach to tourism means that neither the natural environment nor the socio-cultural organisation of the host communities would be compromised by the arrival of tourists.
Moving is always hard. It is harder if you are moving from your birthplace to a culturally different country after spending most of your teenage years. I moved from Bangladesh to New York about a year and a half ago and let me tell you, it was not easy. I had to leave the place I grew up in, my friends and relatives and start a new life here in America. Probably the only good part was that at least I was with my family throughout this hardship.
There are a handful of things more exciting than traveling internationally – unless it’s for medical treatment. That’s because when you travel abroad, you get to experience all the beautiful cultures first-hand and see life from the locals perspective. This is what makes the journey to another country so exciting for many. Unfortunately, not everyone is a fan of traveling abroad, fearing that it could be dangerous leaving their respected native country. For the vast majority, however, traveling throughout the world internationally is a lot safer than most people think.
Travelling helps us to know more about different lifestyles, cultures, cuisines and festivals. Visiting new sights and exploring new places increases our knowledge and widens our global perspective. We get to learn so many things about different cultures and customs. It makes us open minded and gives us a new viewpoint about life and it also changes some of our bad habits.
Rural development is as important as urban development. Alleviating the hardships of the rural people is fundamental to rural development. Efforts at developing the rural areas are aimed at creating industries and employment opportunities. Any initiative towards this end would be welcomed with open arms in Nepal. This would also reduce the population density in the cities.
Most people dream about sudden trips to exotic lands or planned voyages to previously familiar locations, but what is it that drives us to seek to leave our home? Why is it that we travel, even if we are completely comfortable in the country we live in? Pico Iyer, in his travel essay titled ‘Why We Travel’ states different reasons why he believes we seek the unknown. One of the points he claims that we travel for the “self and anonymity”. As he expands on this idea, it is clear to the reader that Iyer believes one of the reasons we travel is to be able to be “free of caste and job and standing” in order to better comprehend ourselves.
“With 8 million people flying each day, the concept of travel as a rare escape is outdated. Obstacles that prevented people traveling, like high costs, continue to fall away. For those with the means, travel has become a lifestyle. Barriers like language are disappearing with the advent of smart translation apps. Cheap flights are empowering time-short travelers to jet off for weekends.
