I know there are so many incredible places in the world. Tibet,Sanya,Nepal...beyond describe. I want to explore these place very much.However,my father thinks it is a waste of money.And people who travel is to play to have fun.And I should travel using my own money after I graduate.Always,I thought by travel I can obtain more than watching and eating.I thought my dad is cold-blooded. Nonetheless,I find it reasonable these days.My classmates show their tour photos almost every day in the "Circle of Friend'of wechat.None mentions anything about the culture,the creative buildings.They take photos to show their experiences.When they talk about the place,the only words they can say is "wow I have been there, very impressive".If that is what travel all about,maybe it is not necessary to do it. My father maybe right.

Travelling is an education in itself - I'm all for it. It's great to see other parts of the world and how other people live.

My mom and your father have same thoughts on travelling. I got my first experience to travel abroad last 2015. It was in Singapore and it took me a long time just to convince my mom to allow me to travel. I do have my part-time job and I use the money I earn there for my travel. I still support my family in the expenses in the house with the money I get from my full-time job.

@CaCaCaCa Nothing is impossible. Do not give up on your dream. It may take time but if you believe on it and keep working for it, it will happen.

Most of the people(I mean Malaysian) who stay in the city are like this. They just like to spend money to a place and take a lot of photos to show people that he went there. To me, I would like to spend many days in just one place to feel and experience it.

Every time we travel, we see to it to visit some museums or their place of worships. In those places you can understand their culture and history.. My father too, look at traveling as non-sense expense...

Travelling helps broaden our view in getting to know the place, its culture, its geography, its history, and its people,its cuisine etc. Everyone travels for his or her own purpose and interest. When I travel to a new place, I love to see its history more than the others, as it tells us how this place came into being. History is interesting besides some other aspects mentioned. Of course, photos need to be taken to show to our friends who have never been there and they also help us to remember the places we have been to with a wonderful memory. Have a good day.

Travelling is an incredible experience and if you can, you should travel. Life is too short to be stuck in one place forever and not make use of the opportunity to explore the beauties of this world.

I started to travel from different places here in my country and other parts of asia 3 years ago and it was really fun. The experience was amazing and you can learn a lot of things. Travelling is not a waste of money nor time especially if you want to meet lots of people and experience the way they living.

@CaCaCaCa I am positive you will overcome it because when you in other country you have no choice but to talk to stranger and blend with them, better to act like local too and you will enjoy it.

I am a little shy to talk to strangers whereas I look forward making friends by travelling. I will try to overcome the contradiction when I have a chance to travel.

I wish to travel himalayas and china. But I don't have much money. I wish someday if god permits I may visit these places.

It is strange that people live in these places say there is nothing special there.Maybe that is the reason we go somewhere unfamiliar.

@CaCaCaCa I think these places have peace something our city life and office life doesn't offer. having nothing is having everything when you're bombarded with too much in life.

I love to travel and see and experience new places and learn how other people live. It's educational.

That is also what I think about travel.Whenever I try to start one,before I depart,I will think it is troublesome it will take away my poor deposit.So I never go.Lucky is I have lived in three cities include Chongqing,Wuhan,Guangzhou.And I plan to attend graduate school in Peking or abroad if possible.

We can explore new things by travel - culture of people, history behind the places and it gives real amusement. It also relaxes us. My father is a good traveler, of course, within the country, and has brought me too in some occasions.

For me, there is no such boon like travelling. Whether it is official, with family or with friends, it is always memorable. In vicinity or distance, equally cherishable. Travelling keeps me fresh, adds some experience and give some buddies too.
