Travelling abroad is a wonderful experience. It allows you to see things with your own eyes that you read about in books. You get to experience other cultures first hand and learn so much about the world, by being out there and exploring it for yourself.
There seems to be something about travelling that unites people. I always come back from a trip with new friends I met around the world, and we still email each other from across the globe.
I believe traveling changes people, every time I return from a trip, I think I come back as a different person. Seeing and experiencing the world and meeting new people, not only teaches me new things, but it makes me want to continue. Travelling exposes me to interests I didn't know I had otherwise, and after meeting new people, I hear about new places I want to go.
Travelling broadens your interest and knowledge, it allows for amazing experiences, meeting new friends and learning about our world.
