People travel for many purposes. Some travel for business, some for pleasure and some for educational purposes. The pleasures of traveling are many. For knowing the unknown, visiting the places of interest and for coming in touch with the beauties of nature our ancestors took part in traveling increases our knowledge. Our bookish knowledge is verified through traveling. Traveling makes our mind broad and takes away our monotony. A traveler comes close to the people of the soil he visits.The hazards of traveling teaches him how to tide over unforeseen difficulties. Fellow-feeling,universal brotherhood, love and tolerance are stimulated in a traveler's mind.He becomes a perfectly educated and cultured person of the country. Traveling helps us to sustain for future struggle in life.

Hello. I have had the chance to travel to countries in different parts of the world. Most of my trips were business trips. But, as you are saying, while in the countries, I get to learn many things about the countries and the people there, traditions, cultures, languages, ethics, history, geography, and more. One gets to see some of the most beautiful and amazing places too.

I usually travel for pleasure. I have worked in Finland as a children's nanny. I have done some work in Australia. I have studied in the Netherlands. I read travel guide books and then I buy a flight. I choose accommodation when I get there. I like to travel around a region. I learn some words in the local language and try these out on the local people. I learn about the history and find out about the culture. I enjoy seeing the native wildlife. I am tolerant to all different religions. I have been to fifty different countries in the world so far. Going around the world developed my patience. In New Zealand long distance walking showed me how river tide systems work. Traveling gives a person an excellent education.
