Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, , language: English, abstract: Travelling may mean many things for many people. If we open up dictionaries, they give
many meanings of travelling. Someone may be on a trip or journey. For another group,
travelling may mean going from one place to another as a travel agent, salesman, for business
purpose, or studies. Light also travels from one object to another. Again, in some games like
basketball, breaking a certain rule may mean travelling.
However if we take all the definitions of travelling, they are all directly or indirectly related
to learning. All these activities make us come into contact with human beings, places and
experiences. But there may be some travelling which are specifically for learning purposes.
The most popular of them are related to students and researchers. In today’s systematic
learning process the Arab saying “Seek knowledge even as far as China” is much suitable.
Travelling automatically suits here as process of learning. It is the literal movement from one
place to another than watch television to acquire knowledge. Journeys shown in television
and internet videos still seem quite metaphorical. When we travel, we literally collect
valuable facts about those places. The Chinese proverb also stresses upon travelling saying
that “Traveling ten thousand miles is equivalent to reading ten thousand books". The visual,
auditory and sensory gets engaged in travelling. We also get emotionally engaged when we
literally travel for knowledge and learning. And when we share back our travellingexperiences
then our own creativity gets explored too. It is a holistic and wholesome exercise.
Some travel permanently. That is part of migration which has been a common phenomenon
ever since ages. They may settle in another place forever. Greater cities like London and
other cities of Europe and North America have been known for having settlers from all over
the world. They have become boiling pots of mixed cultures, religions and languages. Some
work outside their root-places or abroad where they may spend a major part of their lives.
This also helps them learn and pick new ways of life. Sometimes they pick new cultural
habits and languages which become part of their lives too.
