1.) It teaches you about the world
-Saint Augustine once said "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page". Any university course can teach you about countries, but you can learn so much more about the traditions, culture of the country you visit. You can interact with the locals, who will, most likely, be more than happy to teach you about their ways of life
2.) You can learn about your homeland
-You can not only learn about a new culture, but you can also learn about your own homeland. You will notice unique cultural differences
3.) You can learn a lot about yourself
-It's been said that those who want to travel abroad want to "find themselves". You are given the chance to reflect on what it's like to be far from your home, what you feel about your homeland, how you feel about foreign people or what you do/don't know about the various places in the world.
4.) Tolerance is key!
-Everyone says that they are tolerant of everyone. But is that really true? You can often meet others who are different from you and that will teach you to be more accepting of people different from you and also more open
5.) Times you'll never forget
-Everyone looks forward to creating memories they'll never forget when travelling. You tend to change slightly by doing activities you never thought you'd do. You'll see beautiful landscapes and areas you never would have seen at home. You'll talk to people you never thought you'd ever meet
6.) Confidence and independence can be yours
-Travelling makes you feel more confident and independent. You realize that any situation can be mastered. You find out that you can survive without help from others. You realize you are stronger than you thought
7.) Knowledge is key!
-You can learn a lot through travelling. You can learn all sorts of things, such as a new recipe, find something pop culture-related you may never have known about, a new way of solving problems, a new mindset or more
8.) The language of travel
-Every country has its own language and dialects for different areas. Travelling can improve your language skills. If you go to a country where they speak the same language as you, you can learn some new local words and phrases only used there. If you go to a country that speaks a different language, you will learn even more about that language, especially if the local culture is what interests you and propelled you to go to that country in the first place
9.) Motivation!
-People will often say that when they return home from a long journey, their motivation is higher. You might learn things you want to try at home. These experiences will give you a new energy, a new sense of purpose
10.) Bragging rights
-Everyone loves to tell a good story about the places they've seen, the things they've done. With all this travelling, you can have a few good stories for the kids and grandkids. You can look back on life in your older years and realize that you have lived a full life, that your life was not in vain. You can be satisfied you have done so much. This will give you unlimited satisfaction and happiness
