“There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.” – Robert Louis Stevenson
Travelling is the best Teacher. We really cant learn everything inside a classroom. Travelling widens our horizon's , broadens our thinking and yeah most of all teaches us about values and to respect other cultures.From the snow clad Alps to the deserts of Sahara , everything is a new experience and its a great adventure .
Well right from ancient Chinese to all the greatmodern sea farers have earned respect and are viewed with awe and wonder just because they travel far and wide and even today we have a great esteem fora person , who travels a lot .The fantasies of far lands have always driven man to explore and to travel.Wonder what would have happened to our history text books if we didn't have those famous travellers "http://www.silk-road.com/artl/srtravelmain.shtml" , check out the link for the famous and most important ones .
Travelling also teaches us compact life-style and we think out of the box if in case a problem arises , we make even a tooth pick useful to us .It most importantly teaches us to respect each other and respect nature .
Travelling is like a mystery novel ,we don't know what to expect and when to expect ., it keeps us alert , and yeah it "makes us penny and pound wise".
My hats of to those ancient travellers , they must have great will power and confidence to come to a new land , and to acquire knowledge about different culture and people without knowing the local language or the demography , what an effort it must have been to travel to ancient India .!!!.
History would have missed a lot of snippets if not for these travellers . The mode of travelling too is fun , it doesn't matter whether we travel by land , sea , rail or air . Each of them gives us a new experience and some give great friends and at last the moments are to be cherished life long.
My dream destinations are The Land of Pyramids , The ancient city of Rome , The Mythical Land Greece and last but not least The land of Incas.
