Helen Keller once said, “Life is either a great adventure or nothing”. We are now more fortunate to chase after and create our very own adventurous journeys – either they might be the mobility at work, a change in surrounding environment, or simply, a vacation to give ourselves a break. Young people have to admit that as the world is changing rapidly, one of the most important aspects that benefits Millennials is the opportunities to have more and more international travels. Foreign trips have helped defining and exploring the inner self of Gen Y, and also exploring the beauty and diversity of the world.
The definition of travel is now extended to changing location in order to work, to study, or to refresh oneself. Whether it is at workplace, or at school, travelling and experiencing new cultures is always encouraged.

International travelling has opened up more new doors for us all. It breaks the country barriers, and connects all continents. People learn more about the different cultures’ quirks, mannerisms, worldview, history, and politics. Knowing more about other cultures means being smarter. Knowing more about the world also makes you feel gratitude – you learn to appreciate the wonderful things you actually have, compared to friends out there who have so little. According to Nev Schulman, “Life experience is what defines our character… You need the downs to appreciate the ups. Going on the adventure or taking that risk is important”. This was the experience of Chelin Lauer, a graduate in biology from a US college who ended up moving to South Korea to work as a science and English teacher, and then travel whenever she had the chance. I myself had also taken the adventurous journey of my life when I decided to study abroad in Canada, and then was amazed by the beautiful landscape, the friendly local people and the traditional food during my 2 years
Ben Feinberg wrote What Students Don’t Learn Abroad about how students will go to other countries, but when they are asked “what they learned” (Feinberg 1) they answer by saying things like, “I became a risk-taker, or I can do anything I put my mind to” (Feinberg 1-2), but they do not share anything about what the other country was like, instead they talk about how the trip changed them, or taught them something about themselves that they did not already know.
People have many definitions of the word “traveling”, but Dictionary.com states that traveling is defined as “to move or go from one place or point to another”. This is how Suzanne Berne refers to traveling also. “Traveling Close, Very Close, To Home” is a book written by Berne and in the book she gives many examples about people traveling. The main idea of the book is to explain no matter if we travel far or travel close, we all travel at some points in our life even if we our wandering off in our own little world. Berne then goes on to talk about people and their travels in life with examples and descriptions. Berne’s biggest statement about traveling though, is “while some believe traveling means going far away - imagining a trip to Bangkok
When telling their story, the narrators clearly express their aspirations of living an adventurous life. They both view international travel as a vessel for self-discovery and meaningful memories. For example, in Remembering My Childhood on the Continent of Africa, David Sedaris expresses his desires for life-long memories and international travel when he writes, “They weren’t rich, but what Hugh and his family lacked financially they more than made up for with the sort of exoticism that works wonders at cocktail parties, leading always to the remark, ‘that sounds fascinating’.” According to this passage, Sedaris seems to believe that money is less important than experiences and memories themselves. One is able to infer that he yearns for a life that is filled with adventures. He wants to have the ability to tell interesti...

One in ten (10%) plans to increase their budget for vacations next year. In addition, adventure travel, such as hiking, kayaking, zip-lining or skiing, is one of the fastest growing forms of travel worldwide and particularly important with emerging outbound markets. “Customers want to do something different and have more unique experiences when they travel. They want up-close and personal experiences, whether that is through food, culture, activities, or all of the above,” said Lesley Egbert, owner of Live Longitude, LLC, an independent agency in the Avoya Travel Network, in Helena,
Besides the food and beautiful attractions, I learn about different cultures, become aware of what is happening in different areas, and I gain new perspectives. This is one of the many reasons why I love and appreciate traveling; it is eye opening and makes me appreciate my life more. Above all, traveling allows me to gain new experiences to become a social worker and a more compassionate
Frequent flyers now have an edge when it comes to booking flights, hotels, car rentals, and more by utilizing the benefits of various travel reward programs. These programs, made possible by credit card companies as a means to increase usage, offer points for every dollar spent on a purchase. But before you go full steam ahead and sign up for one of these travel reward programs, you need to think about how often you travel, where you’d like to travel to, and your current location (you’ll see why this is an important aspect you shouldn’t overlook). You’ll also want to explore whether a fixed value or transferable reward card works best for you. After all, the difference between both can be substantial, and what works for one person will surely not work for another.
From a young age I knew I wanted to travel, see new places, and experience different and exotic cultures from that of my own.
Starting out as a world traveler can be scary at first, but once you leave the comfort of your home, you realize the value in becoming a world nomad and meeting people from different cultures around the globe. Traveling experiences leave you wiser and more understanding of the cultures you visit and can shift your world perspective in unexpected ways. You actually do not need much to participate in traveling. You come with an open heart, and that will often be enough to give you an unforgettable experience.
Getting prepared and ready to explore something new is just minor compared to the actual adventure for a senior anticipating the departure of their school trip. I was a member along with 30 other classmates of the co-curricular group called Business Professionals of America, a club organized through our school. Our teachers, club officers, and all of the members had been planning and fundraising for our trip to New York City for months. The excitement grew more and more as each day got closer to take off. All of us were anixious to see The Empire State Building, "Ground Zero," a Broadway play, and the spectacular views of gorgeous ocean sunsets. We had all been told and were aware of the different surroundings of the environment, or culture we would be experiencing when we arrived. Different cultures are common throughout the world, even in different places around the United States. Going on a trip to explore New York City really made the differences in cultures aware to me.
...t only learn a new language, explore new concepts, and a new culture but you are also pushed outside of your comfort zone. I believe Students studying abroad can act as informal ambassadors for their own countries, break down cultural stereotypes, and create lasting positive relationships around the world.
