Don't drink the water. There is a whole world full of interesting people and places. They are different from what we are used to in our own home town and worth the visit.

People and cultures are different. Some you stare at. Some you join in. Some you never care to return to.

So many, many things! Often about yourself too.
I know most of my travel has opened my eyes to how spectacularly good we have it here in Oz... Very lucky.

Travel has thus far taught me that I can be a bit irresponsible and thoughtless when it comes to organising things. (I book holidays and then forget about them whilst being in possession of an expired passport! Last minute rush is NOT the word!)
It's also taught me that the guys in a Rome airport are absolute jerks. I don't use that term lightly either, but believe me every time I go they manage to annoy me.
Nor do airlines mind me carrying sharp instruments on planes, but they do have a problem with me carrying water that they can see me drinking and not dying afterwards/growing horns.
Oh, and cars are NOT the best way to get to France.

dont forget anything.
by capiz blog on October 13th, 2008
Travel has taught me a lot of good things in life and it is mostly about nature and how we should care for them because it brings in the smile in our faces and it awakens our captivating senses into a new dimension.
The last place I visited however is in the captivating Capiz island and I really enjoyed it being there close to nature and beaches. If ever you have an interest to travel somewhere in Asia, I would gladly suggest that you come to Capiz, in the Philippines. You can read it from a source below.

that there's no place like home and that you are a small fish in a very big pond which after seeing more of the world is yet again, bigger than you think!

Cultural diversity, maybe a foreign language. Travel increases knowledge-increases wisdom.
by 2highspeed on September 3rd, 2008
What a great country the United States is. I have been in SE Asia, the Middle East and Europe. I loved every country I have ever been in, but it was always great to be back home.
No other country I have been to had the freedoms and privileges we have. Though some offered their people great freedom, while others didn't, the United States stood alone in its offerings of liberty for the people. The United States is truly a blessed nation.
God Bless America.

Different: Cultures, Languages, Foods, Customs, Laws, Architecture, Religion...

And you never realize how different the rest of the world is until you've experienced it.

That the best part of the journy (for me at least) is always when you're home again.
In other words, it teaches me how much I appreciate my home and staying there
by Clancy on May 12th, 2008
That a lot of places deserve their stereotypes and that there are still people like you and me in these countries, that people need to travel outside of their state or country to get some true perspective of how things really are, that there are so many things to gain educationally that one won't necessarily find in a book or hear of one's travels, and to appreciate what you might have long taken for granted and realize that where you are "planted" is the best place in the world!

It teaches us that everybody doesn't live exactly like we do. It opens our minds to different cultures and ways of life. I think it might teach us to accept others more and be more inclusive.

Travel teaches you that language isn't that important. Gesture and environment can fill most communicative needs. If one is reasonable one can get along anywhere that men can live.
by _x2uiw_ on November 3rd, 2007
Thanks for the warm welcome! ^^
by _x2uiw_ on November 3rd, 2007
It teaches you about how the world is as diverse as it is vast. Open-mindedness also comes to mind. At the same time, one learns of the importance of differences. Basically, a great way to enjoy life!

How thankful and lucky I am that I live in the US. While there are some wonderful places, there are also places that defy any real thoughts of how people live or sustain life. Even the worst places in the US are not like so many places totally absent of any hope.
