Do you consider traveling an education?

On my trip around the world when I was 20 I developed my patience. I became a better person. After that amazing trip I decided to train to become a primary school teacher. I traveled to Kenya and whilst there I went on a safari. I learned about the wild animals. I found out about the Masai Mara tribe. I went on a trip to Israel and Jordan. I learned about three religions of the world. When I was 29 years old I visited New Zealand. There I had first hand experience of working out tides and the safe crossing of some rivers. That experience was far more educational that a Geography lesson. My last trip was with my toddler son to South Africa. We went on a walking tour of a poor township. I learned about poverty, charity work and on the Garden Route I learned about history, architecture and wild animals. I like to meet the local people and find out about their culture. I like to view the native wildlife. I enjoy seeing the architecture and taking photos by some picturesque view points. There are many places on my travel wish list. I travel to see particular sights and have pleasant experiences. I love tropical islands and cities which have lovely looking architecture.

hi p3ks626, if i could afford i would. traveling to the countryside takes me away from the hustle and bustle of city life. where the air is fresher with less pollution to the environment. where there is no traffic jam. where listening to the rooster in the morning or the sounds of the water that runs in the creek nearby is a joy. and i look forward to come back to my job, refreshed and motivated.

I enjoy traveling and try to learn something on every trip. I find that taking my time and look for things I find that I learn a lot about the area.

Yeah, as far as I am concerned, I think It can be a good chance for me to travell ,which can help me a lot in learning about other things. For me, I usually travell to many place around me, just when I have a lot of free time. With the enjoyment of travelling, I am still learning. I enjoy it so much.

Well traveling would be like education in the fact that you are going to some where that you do not normally live at everyday and when you are there you are most likely to learn something that you did not know before. Other reasons to travel would be work, business, or pleasure. with these three you might not actually learn anything new because you most likely are already set on doing certain things.

Some places I travel to I consider an "education". I learn about the people, the culture, etc. But most of the travel I've done in the past few years is to see family and friends, so I wouldn't consider that "education". I like doing both kinds of travel.

I think traveling is the most intensive learning experience you can have! It is challenging and it opens your eyes to how the rest of the world lives. There are so many new things to try, new sights to see, new worlds to experience. That being said, I love art and always try and combine my love of art with travel. My goal is to see all the major art museums in the United States and Europe one day. Every time I go to a new place, the art museum is the first place I head. Of course, that's not my only motivation for traveling, but it is a great reward for me. What do you like to learn about?

Dear friend, I do enjoy traveling that too if my health too is better. Only thing I am bothered is about my health while traveling, otherwise I happy to travel especially to those unseen places with much natural beauty and other beauty. I also consider that traveling makes one to get much of practical education.

Hi,there,my friend Well, I wonder what sort of trip u mean exactly, worldwide trip? or just between states and cities? I think traveling really cost much,not only money but also time,though we could amuse ourselves by that.Almost everyone here likes traveling,the further place we could go the more we could enjoy ourselves,even it's not famouse resort.Coz it's great for everyone to know various cultures in earth village,to have special local dishes,view different scenery... I'd like be on my way of traveling all the time if I had account of BillGates .....hahahah

I have not traveled abroad but I have been to several places in my country. Most of the time, the purpose of my travel is work-related. I do believe traveling is a great way to learn. Maybe it is not the same as being in a classroom but you learn all the same. More hands on. You experience different cultures when you go to a new place. You learn that they do things differently than you are used to, their food is cooked in a different way, and so on. Also, traveling is a great way to appreciate the beauty of ones own country.

yes of course, even if you travel to have a tour or vacation, still you can learn something like for example the culture of the place your going to visit, you will learn why and how they live in everyday life, travelling really gives man a total education on different things

Hi p3ks626! I think people love to travel to be able to learn and share with different cultures from different parts of the world. One thing is we share with their culture through food, lifestyle, history, beliefs, and so on. Then we would have a better understanding on with different places we go to.
