I believe that if a person wants to be able to really understand other peoples opinions, and where their views come from that they must travel to other countries to see different cultures. Going to Canada and Mexico is great, but their is so much else out their, and so much to see that you should hop on a plane and go somewhere. I know that travel is expensive, and that it just wont work with some peoples budgets, but if you can you should.
My travels started young, mainly through the states with my family. We would take vacations all over, we would do and see so much. Seeing new places when I was young captured my attention and I have been doing it ever since. My mom started traveling when she was young, living in Italy and Sri Lanke for a year. She also did a lot of week long vacations through out Europe and America, and spent her summers in Vermont. She instilled these values in me and I have wanted to travel ever since.
I don't want to brag but I do have an impressive travel list of places I have been: Australia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, I ate lunch in Canada, and have done mission work in Mexico. I have also been all over America and seen so much. It is funny, my dad has travled through out the USA, with family vacations, but never been abroad.
I really just believe that people should travel. If you ever get the chance do it. You will never be the same.
