Why Should People Travel
Why should people travel?
This is the story of a woman, who travelled the world to find that the best place is home. However, the journeys took her across continents over oceans. This story began when a little girl was sitting on her porch watching the pedestrians fleeting by. When suddenly a huge noise jolted her out of her day dreaming, and all she saw was a metal bird flying overheard. The noise made her shudder and she ran into the house screaming for her Dad. Running into his arms, with no words to express she stood holding on to his legs, While her dad was trying to question her about her irrational fear. With sputtering words, she explained how a huge metal bird had flown over the house and the noise thundered the foundations of the house. Her dad let out a loud laughter noticing the innocence of his daughter. But it was actually just one of the airplanes from the nearby Air Force base conducting its drill. So he lifted her up in her arms, took her to the porch and pointed out to the airplane in the distance as it faded into the blue sky leaving a trail of white clouds. That was my first experience that initiated my need to fly and watch the world from up above. As I grew older, the need to have a closer look at the world imbibed in me a curiosity to travel.
The world is a beautiful place, when looking at it with an unbiased view because one gets to see it in a pure way. One that has not been tainted with blood, pain and violent that once seen cannot be unseen. Here is what we have known over the ages, the world is made up of seven continents divided by oceans. Every continent has its own set of cultures, traditions, nature, people and countries. Over the course of this essay, I am going to explain my perspective on world travel, while mentioning the beauty of countries that I had the opportunity to tread on.
My first experience of travelling was when I was 9 years old. I went on a trip with my parents to Malaysia. A country known for its tropical

    "Traveling is a fool's paradise," Ralph Waldo Emerson said. "I have no cranky objection to world travel for the purposes of art, of study, and goodwill, as long as the individual is first domesticated, or doesn't go abroad with the hope of finding something greater that what he knows. He who travels to be amused, or to get something he doesn't have within, travels away from himself…" While Emerson's comments may seem extreme to those who enjoy the occasional trip for leisure, he makes an important point regarding the value of travel from both a scholarly and personal standpoint. Studying abroad fulfills what Emerson sees as the deeper purpose of travel, which I realized last fall semester when I studied abroad at the University of…

    You know how beautiful things are when you're traveling.” It was this quote I found while reading about one of my favorite artists, Edward Hopper. I have been to his showcase at the Walker Arts Center three times this summer, each time admiring his sketches, they were raw and true and his paintings looked like day dreams. it was the reminiscent quality that I adored about his work. It's as if he had painted the scenes through the eye of his memory. It brought me back to that time and place of the world, the way he experienced it. It's his work that got me inspired to travel this summer, I wanted to have my own scenes. Although I love art, it was a different love that inspired me to see the world. I am fascinated with Biology: the study of all living organisms. I love to go to each part of the world and see how the vegetation grows and evolved from unique environmental factors, the how animals look , and people express themselves through different cultures - all relating back to biology. This curiosity has led me to some of the most electric cities in the world, NYC, Paris, Chicago, Brussels, Atlanta, Montreal, Tel Aviv, Quebec and of course,…

    Travelling the world is another way in which worthwhile learning occurs. Travelling the world allows you to see how other people around the world live. When you see how other people in other countries live it can really let you see how fortunate you are and allows you to appreciate the things you have. When you see how other people live it can also open your eyes to see how you could be living your life instead of how you are living your life.

    There is a Chinese proverb “Read many books and travel a long way”. In Chinese culture, knowledge and travel are both regarded as the ways to broaden people’s horizon. Or, more accurately, travel is more valued because in this way can what we learnt from the books be tested and verified, which is the Chinese perspective of traveling. However, in Eat Pray Love, Elizabeth Gilbert approaches travel abroad from a more instinctive approach, following her own interests and desires, which means she didn’t read much before she traveled and this might be the typical American view of traveling. In order to make Chinese audience understand EPL better, Elizabeth Gilbert is supposed to present American opinion about traveling so that they could compare and get an insight into what she wrote. In my final paper, I would mainly expound from what Elizabeth Gilbert’s perspective and mine towards travel.…

    It is better to travel by plane then driving while on vacation. It is more convenient in many ways. By fling there is a higher chance of getting to your destination faster. There is no need to worry about falling asleep on the weal so it is easier to stay relaxed. While fling a person has all the entertainment they need because there are normally a lot of shows playing and if one ever gets tired of sitting they can just walk around and still get to their destination without having to stop. If were to be driving it would take longer to get to destination because then one would have to stop at a break area. Also there would be no need to stop for food because the air hostess would bring it to the passenger. While driving it would be another stop and add more time to the destination.

    One day I was at home finishing my chores sometime early last school year. My parents went out for the day and I wasn’t expecting much to happen. Later that day I receive an email from my marine biology teacher stating that there is an internship for me to go to Washington State to expand my knowledge in marine biology field. With this internship I could also earn college credit. I notified my parents about it and in a monotone voice they said we’ll talk about it at dinner. Several minutes later I receive an email giving me an opportunity to go to Germany in a cultural exchange program. I was excited but I was worried that my parents would say no. The summer prior I took part in an internship with The Nature Conservancy. I notified my parents the same way I did before and in their same monotone voice they repeat themselves again and tell me that it will be discussed at dinner.…
