The importance of traveling

Traveling means going from one place to another or from one country to another. It is a part of education. There is a wise saying that home keeping youths have ever homely wits. It means that a man, who passes his life in one place and never leaves his home or native place to visit other places or countries, lacks wider outlook. From time immemorial, man has a great thirst for knowledge. He always wants to see the unseen and know the unknown. A man has indomitable spirit to explore the region of knowledge which is beyond his reach. History tells us that man is eager to quench his thirst for knowledge by traveling. Thus man wants to go out and see great cities, mountains, lakes, rivers, seas, deserts etc. he also wants to know different nations, their manners, customs, and religion. Again today, he may want to do business with people of other countries. Sometimes, he may want get rid of dullness and monotony by going out for a travel. So we see that some people travel for pleasure, some for education and knowledge and some other for business. Traveling, no doubt, enriches our knowledge and broadens our outlook.
