The benefits of travelling.

Saint Augustine told : “ The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page”. I agree with this quotation, because travelling is for me very important and it is a part of my life.

Traveling does not always have to involve big money. A very popular way is to couchsurfing. Couchsurfing is very popular among young people. It is a internet site ( www.couchsurfing.org ) where everyone can find overnight stay all over the world for free.

First of all, for me travelling is an opportunity to disconnect from my regular life. This is a time in year when I do not use the Internet, I am calm and I have a lot of time. For me, this is a method of relaxation away from the daily duties and tasks.

Traveling is a way for me to get to know new cultures. It is a way for me to change the perspective of seeing and understanding the world. Another aspect that is very important to me are memories. Each trip is experience and an unforgettable memory. Thanks traveling I can gain new experiences, meet new valuable people, make friends on the other side of the world.

For me, one of the most important benefits of traveling is that I can practice my foreign language. In my opinion the conversation in Spanish or English while traveling is the best way to test language skills in practice. This method allows for conversation in natural conditions, and topics that may never be discussed during the courses. It is also for me to test my language skills. First of all, this is a very easy, natural and enjoyable way of learning a foreign language.

Nowadays, it is a very popular to combine religious festivals with  holidays. Among my friends, the most popular are the trips in the Easter holidays abroad. This is a very convenient way to spend religious festivals with family in a place other than the family home. This type of trips have only positive side, because we spend time with family, relax and spending these days in a different way than traditionaly.

Another way of traveling is traveling alone. This is in my opinion this is the perfect idea for those who want some time to rest from family, friends and work as well as for people who lead busy lives.

In conclusion I would say that traveling has many positive aspects so everybody should leave and discover new places.
