TRAVELLING

Travelling : A best hobby

 Travelling is one of the best hobbies that one can have. Travelling offers an opportunity for adventure, it satisfies one's sense of beauty and gives one a feeling of  power over the things around. It also helps one to see someone else's point of view. It opens up many new worlds to the traveller. Travelling provides adventure and adventure keeps us from growing old. As long as there is something to look forward to, the mind remains young and healthy. Adventure stimulates our imagination. It offers change and movement that are necessary to keep ourselves from getting bored. Nowadays many of us turn to the television or films to fight our boredom. Real adventure is not undertaken by many of us. The entertainment that the television can provide is pale in comparison to what adventure can provide. 

One of the main reasons that one travels is to go in search of beauty. Beautiful tourist resorts often attract many people. When one travels, one witnesses the beauty of certain places and one cannot help being inspired by them. Travel brings people together. One comes into contact with many people of different lands and customs and this leads to a great deal of understanding between them. A man who has travelled a lot is more mature and likely to understand the others point of view with more case and open mindedness. One comes home from a long journey and feels much better too. He comes home and begins to appreciate all the comforts of home and this prevents him from taking anything for granted. He remains in touch with reality and travelling helps a person to become down to the earth and realistic. 

Travelling is the best way that one can educate oneself about the ways of the world. Nowadays, travelling has become common to all sorts of people - tourists, students, politicians, businessmen and others. A tourist, for example, is interested in seeing places and observing the ways of other people in thw world. Students go on educational tours with the intention of enriching their knowledge. Everyone who travels long distances, does so with some purpose.

Travelling has great educational value. First, seeing places with our own eyes leads to assimilation of knowledge. The scene directly witnessed and observed makes a deeper impression on our minds than what we read in a book. When we travel to other countries, we come across different cultures, different customs and habits and different manners. We learn not only about the modern advancements in those foreign lands.

During oue travels, we come across many kinds of people, speaking different kinds of languages and having a different sets of beliefs, and we learn to move with such people. Travelling, therefore, reinforces a freindship between people of different regions of our country. We probably learn other languages, which is an advantage. It also helps us to see the historic monuments of our country.

Travelling brings us closer to nature. We can enjoy the beauty of snow-clad mountains, huge waterfalls, forests, seas and the rising & setting of the sun. Travelling exposes us to different weather condition. It also promotes trade and commerce. It gives us practical knowledge of trade and commerce. It is also training for the mind and the spirit. In order to take full advantage of travelling, one must have eye to see, ears to listen and an intense desire to learn. Travelling is thus a wonderful experience in our life.
