Why Do You Encourage People To Become Travelling Pigeons?
I often encourage people to become travelling pigeons. The world is full of experiences if you find them. The reasons are that I learnt to speak French. English is a popular second language for most parts of the world, so you will get along. It is so much better to be able to speak a few words like “hello, goodbye, thank you or how much is this?”(c’est combine?)
You will pick up some slang, intonation, or vocal expressions by the locals. And if you can converse it will expand your cultural horizons.
Further you will come across cultural differences by having an ice cream in Italy known as Gelato?
Then there is the range of cuisine that you will experience. Some of the best seafood pastas I have had were in Italy with clams, prawns, mussels it was delicious. The ploughman lunches in England and Shepard’s pie, the curries in Dubai the bouillabaisse in France, the cheeses in Holland, and so on.
The amount of history that you pick up is immense. Its the oft remembered comment “once seen is better than ten times heard” or read. I shall never forget the battlefields of Gettysburg.
You will see plays, art, churches, monuments, museums (the British museum where the Rosetta stone is housed or the Louvre where the Mona Lisa is) and famous of Stone Henge. You could in all likelihood meet different people from all parts

As I age I realize it is more difficult for me to get around. Being on pension funds takes longer to save for a holiday these days. If I could be blessed with one more trip before I depart this earth that would be to spend a holiday in exotic Japan inspired by the much loved Joanna Lumley travel series to Japan. Its one of the best travel presentations I have seen on destinations and being an actress herself she conveys such a pleasing aura about her presentation. It is done with so much affection, respect and wonderful subtlety and with inimitable humour you have to love her. Japan looks amazing to see and

    Throughout my life, I have always been a person who loved traveling. I will always love traveling and someday, I hope to have a job where traveling is a requirement. When I travel, I hoped to come as close to emersion as possible in the time span I’m there. I believe interacting with other cultures can seriously give you a whole new outlook on life and learning perspectives of different cultures and humans always fascinates me which is why, next year, I am planning to take a year off to work at a bed and breakfast in France. People from all over the globe come to bed and breakfasts, which will give me a lot of face time with a lot of different cultures and learn a little bit about everything. My housing and dining will be paid for while I meet people, make lifelong connections and put all the things I learned about in cross cultural communication to work.…

    Firstly, I would treasure visiting England because I would travel to London, the capital of England and is considered to be one of the most sophisticated places in the world. Another cousin of mine got to study abroad there and has “mastered the art” of observing the whole city in two days! I would also love to tour the Beatles museums and walk down Abbey Road because their music is as beautiful as one’s childhood. Secondly, I would want to journey England on my European adventure is because I would travel to the primary beach town in England, Brighton. Brighton would be an incredible place to go because not only do they have a beach, but they have charming shops and restaurants that are widely known all throughout England. The final place I would visit in England while on my Europe trip is the city of Oxford. This city would be so pleasant to go to because of their college, Oxford University, which is one of my dream colleges. C.S. Lewis’ house is also present where you can explore the house and examine where he wrote his most widespread series, Narnia. As a result, my respect for England and my yearning to go there brings me back to my desire to travel through…

    A three-hour bus ride, a modest amount of time standing in the heat and a short walk through history. Standing where the Battle of Horseshoe Bend took place, words from class float through my head as I picture the battle taking place. I can't express how much more I appreciate having been able to walk where the men and women before me made history. Regretfully, I am reminded of how little I cared for history and wished I had. Teachers would tell me that we study history because if we don't, "history will repeat itself." What a terrible sell for history! If I were to sit down with my son, future children, and leaders, I would paint a story or take them on an adventure like we did today. History is the language we all must learn to speak.…

    For example world war 2 and the Holocaust. I feel learning about these things and visiting a Holocaust museum was very impacting but help me grow as a student by expanding my knowledge. For starters, before learning about World War 2, I had no idea why Hitler had so much hate towards the jews and why he wanted to exterminate a whole race. Now, I understand he was a soldier in world war one and was upset about the Treaty of Versaille and how Germany was in serious debt. He believed that the Aryan race was superior and wanted to take over Europe. It was also shocking how Hitler manipulated the minds of germans and wanted to kill and wipe out an entire race. Hitler had a way with words most these soldier had families after they would kill human beings they’d go to there families later and act as if nothing happened. The fact that 11,000 people were killed and 6,000 were jews is mind blowing. German Nazi’s would make the jews dig there holes and then shoot them and they'd fall right into the whole. When they saw this wasn’t being efficient enough they moved on to gassing the people. Many children died innocent children. Hitler actually got really far with taking over Europe and parts of Africa before the USA, Great Britain and the Soviet Union interfered So when we visit the museum of tolerance it really had an impact on the way i think and it seemed more real to me having more background information. It’s important to expand your knowledge on things like this so we prevent history from repeating…

    You may find, if you are friendly and courteous enough, that you will soon start to make friends with the locals. If this happens and you are invited to a meal, it is good to keep in mind some of the local customs. For example, you will usually take off your shoes when entering a house. You can follow your host’s example in this regard. Also it is a good idea to take a gift of some sort with. If you are in a home in the city you might take some pastries or some sugar with you.

    <br>The Eiffel Tower, The Arc de Triomphe, The Lourve, The obelisk, La Place de la Concorde, and Notre Dame are all located in the heart of Paris, France. Paris with its French cuisine, romantic atmosphere and historical self-being fills you with a sense of complete contentment. I'll never forget sitting at a French cafe, eating a baguette, drinking mineral water, and watching the Parisians walk by. Paris's metro system makes going anywhere a fast and easy trip. With my knowledge of the French language and an idea about French life I came to love Paris.…
