Travel makes me know more about the world

There is a Chinese proverb that says it is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. Even with today's advance technology, one can learn about the culture, see the landmarks, hear the sounds on television, and even interact live through the internet with people from different places but not feel the local weather, touch and mingle with the people, smell and taste the food with the ambience. Moreover, the impression can never be deeper than getting them first-hand and what can be written or captured on film is limited.

Wow, that is realy something. I do envy you your travels. I want to see the world. I have been to 3 countries and have seen lots of the United States, have been in two oceans, the Atlantic and the Pacific. I wish you safe travels.

wow, you are lucky! i would love to travel. i am quite fortunate because i work with a non profit organizaiton that deals with countries all over the world and so i get to know a little about each place.

50 different countries??? WOW, you're so lucky! How did you get to travel a lot? Was it all for pleasure? Anyways, what I learned from my travels was all about different cultures. I got culture shocked it was unbelievable but I got over it and I learned how to accept other people's beliefs. I think it was an important contribution for me to grow intellectually and view the world from other people's eyes.

Hi Maximax. I haven't been in other countries yet but I do travel around my country. My term for it is that I am a tourist in my own country. lol. Anyway, the greatest lesson I have learned during my travels in the Philippines is how great and beautiful my country is. I can somehow say that even though we are a third world country, our sites are world class and our people are very hospitable and friendly. Maybe we are poor but we are not poor in spirit and I think everyone in my country should travel in their own country first before traveling in other countries to learn this valuable lesson.

I love travelling too. I have travelled quite a number of countries too. I am going to do it next year again. May be this time to South Africa, Turkey, Alaska, New Zealand (South) and many more. I like to learn about the different culture and see God's creation. May be you like to share which other countries I should visit next.
