    Traveling Improves Your Understanding of Other Cultures

    Traveling improves your understanding of other cultures in several ways: - By learning new languages and experiencing different cultures firsthand, it fosters empathy and deeper cultural understanding. - Exposure to diverse perspectives broadens your mind beyond a single viewpoint. Those who don't travel internationally only see the world through a narrow lens. - Visiting places with preconceptions can change your opinions by experiencing other cultures directly rather than through the lens of news reports.

    picking up new words in a different language every


    time you travel and you will see improvements in your brain
    capacities, as Dan Roitman wrote in the Huffington Post. If only
    this, start getting familiar with travel jargon.
    Even more than "just" languages, traveling helps you learn
    about yourself. You might run into challenging situations
    where you need to be resourceful and think differently. I'm
    sure that you will develop a new set of skills that you didn't
    suspect you had within you.

    4. Traveling Improves Your Understanding Of Other


    Cultures
    Why we travel may differ from one person to another, but
    people travelling always develop empathy and a deeper
    understanding of other cultures.

    Being more understanding and tolerant about a culture


    different than ours is part of being smarter, but I consider it
    as a benefits of traveling in itself. There is a quote by Saint
    Augustine, which goes “The world is a book, and those who do
    not travel read only one page”. You could think of it this way:
    if you read what's in the news or watch the news on TV and
    don't question it, you're missing on a ton of information. You
    might think that it makes you smarter and more aware of the
    world, but it's the exact opposite: it narrows your mind to a
    unique and biased perspective.

    Sure, you probably feel comfortable where you are, but that is
    just a fraction of the world! If you are a student, take
    advantage of programs such as Erasmus to get to know more
    people, experience and understand their culture. Dare
    traveling to regions you have a skeptical opinion about. I bet
    that you will change your mind and realize that everything is
    not so bad abroad.
    Have you ever had a delayed or cancelled flight? You could be
    entitled to up to 600€ from the airline!

    5. Traveling Makes You More Interesting


    I have no doubt that you're quite the conversationalist. That
    being said, including a few stories from abroad is likely to
    grant you even more attention. Mentioning something that
    most people aren't familiar with or bring a new perspective is
    always a good way to shine in a social situation. No need to
    write a whole travel essay, just discuss what you've seen and
    where you've been: people who are accustomed to their daily
    life will travel with your words.

    During my trip to Egypt, my Airbnb host and I went out for


    dinner. He had been to some many different places, the
    conversation lasted all night long, and I wasn't bored for one
    minute.

    Who do you think people want to listen to: the guy who spent
    his vacations at home doing some gardening and reading the
    newspaper, or the one who spent a week in Cuba, driving an
    old American car, swimming with dolphins and tasting
    deliciously spicy food? I know which story I want to hear
    about...
