We can improve our knowledge in two ways. One is by reading: the other is by traveling. By reading we get only second hand information. But by traveling we get first hand experience. Traveling gives us pleasure. It educates us, enlightens us and provides us with wonderful experience. By traveling we learn a lot about the world around us.

Traveling enables us to move with different people. We meet people belonging to different cultures and customs. We come to know about their way of life. We learn to mix with people easily and share their joys and sorrows. Traveling enriches our mind. One who travels more and more develops a cosmopolitan outlook.

Ours is a country where most people live like a frog in the well. By traveling they will give up their prejudices. They develop a spirit of brotherhood. They learn to respect their neighbors. By traveling to foreign countries we meet strange people. We study their progress keenly and take a leaf out of their books.

Traveling makes one a citizen of the world. It removes the barriers of narrow mindedness. So educational tours, picnics and excursions are encouraged in schools and colleges. By traveling we learn the heritage of our country. Thus traveling is one of the most interesting ways of learning. For the young man traveling is a part of education. For the old, it is a part of experience.
