Solution

Travelling has been universally recognized to have great educational values. In Western advanced societies, education is considered incomplete without travelling. It has been a delightful experience of mankind from time immemorial. Going place to place and meeting various people have been enjoying for people.

Today, travelling has become all the more enjoying and comfortable. We have fast-moving trains, deluxe buses, metro-railways, luxury steamers, ships, aeroplanes and many other means of travelling. It does not take too much time in travelling a long distance. We do not have to suffer the severity of weather due to advanced means of transport communication.

Travelling is a powerful aid to education. It provides an experience of the world. By travelling we come in connectpeople of different caste, colour, creed and community to getfamiliarity with their tradition, culture, customs, has costumes and their style of living. This helps in the better understanding. It sharpens our intellect and broaden us our outlook. Travelling offers us the first hand knowledge of things we shed off all our prejudices. It develops our person.The communication skills. Mere bookish knowledge to the development of all around personality. It givestheoretical knowledge. We get only the sketchy picture ofwhich is not complete.

Traveling is always educational in nature. For example when a person travels from a third world country to a developed country he or she gets to learn about the ways and innovation adopted by people in the developed countries to make their lives better.
When I visit another country with a culture completely different from my own it broadens the perspective of life for me. Travel teaches you so many things about life. It makes you more humble and also helps you appreciate you own life once more.
Travel is also used for educational purposes. I have been on college trips that have taught me a lot. Many college courses especially in the fields of engineering and architecture have study tours. For example the students on an architecture study tour go to a city with plenty of historical architecture or modern architecture where they can get firsthand knowledge of the buildings and the great architectural work done in the past.
I love to find out more geographical locations and also love to travel to these locations. We can learn about the natural beauty of our planet by visiting places that have abundant natural beauty. I have been on trips designed as animal safaris where I saw and learned about the life of animals and birds which I saw on the trip.
Whether the trip is recreational, a study tour or a business tour, travelling has always been educational in nature. I love to travel and plan trips every year. Thus, travelling for me has been very educational and satisfying in nature.
