“Travel Broadens the Mind” – or Does It?

I do agree, but I also disagree with this axiom, this self homely truth. What is let bying one s mind? What is locomotion? Travel broadens the mind, at least(prenominal) check to an axiom that is very well copen, as well as used. I am not sort of sure that this particular axiom still holds true. At least not for me. tho indeed again, by chance it does. And this, exactly, is my point. First of all, the ever expanding international tourism makes the world smaller.Not in actual size as a planet, of course, but bulk (and peoples) get ever more closer to ACH other, and obligate now, more than ever, probably, an amazing world power and opportunity to go and see new places distant and exciting destinations argon suddenly available to them, places people only dreamed about and was out of their reach only a few decades ago. Now, Its all at that place cheap, fast, exciting Nearly everyone Is golf abroad these days. Going abroad can, and does, broaden your mind. I m sometimes Ju st not sure about the travelers awareness, or motivation, If you will, for his or her or their traveling.So, why do we travel? To get away from home. To get that perfect tan we missed because of the rainy Norwegian summer of 2011. To visit a friend. To see the S sluice Wonders Of The 10 go snooping canap, expensive stun. 10 see Tanat tavern Dana AT ours Tanat din t come to Norway because they only toured Canada this year.. L could go on and on, and on on that point are as many reasons for traveling as there are travelers, I suppose. Or even more. In one way or the other, the traveling around is bound to obtain at least a minimum of effect on the mind-broadening.Even though, in some cases, you aloud t necessarily be aware of this you Just (at least) feel some kind of satisfaction from the fact that you really have through something for yourself. Well done Traveling exposes us to a huge variety of NEW sensations there are sights to be seen, sounds to be heard, food to taste, and wine, and there are smells and beliefs and cultures and rituals. All of which are, or can be, new to us. Its even off field there. One click away. If, or rather when, I go too place where I have or haven t been before, I always look forward to these things, these new sensations.. SST of all, the food, I must admit, but every single discovery and new experience is heartily welcomed. One of the very opera hat memories I have from traveling around the world, is one from Mexico around cristal years ago.. L sat all the way out on the tip of the Yuccan Peninsula, all by myself, with my left foot in the see-through blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and my right foot in the Caribbean Sea. In that particular situation, I know for a self-established fact, that my mind was broadened. Not intellectually, Id secern, rather more in a spiritual way. It was awesome.This brings me to a point where Id like to stress something quite important, more or less my exit sentences for this essay Wh at exactly does broadening ones mind mean? .. And what exactly is traveling? I dare say that this could, and probably will be, discussed, forever. Talking with other peoples, surfing the internet, reading books, cartoons, texts, watching TV-shows about The Great light Sharks in the Pacific Ocean. This is also part of the whole aspect of traveling, and it also hopefully does, broaden peoples minds. You can maybe even learn a few new wordsSo, the mission of your (or my) traveling is an aspect that is quite interesting Why do we do it? What do we want to achieve? Whats out there thats not here? Lets face it. Some, or many of us, are lazy. We sit at home, right in the midst of summer, watching Characterize . We laugh at, not with, the television personalities that at least rattling got their bottoms out of their couches, to go on vacation. To have fun. And we feel that we are better people than them. I know at least I do. And a few toners. I guess It always apneas on ten traveler s m ission, or goal, Tort ten trap.Is It the tan? Is it to learn Hieroglyphs? To walk the mountains around Everest? Or is it something completely different? Is Charter-tourism broadening ones mind? Going All Inclusive, with everything paid for and make out for you beforehand.. You don t actually do anything but follow the orders that you ordered online? It can be. But you could also stay at home, get a housekeeper for a few weeks, go to the tanning studio apartment and maybe save a couple of pennies for the piggy-bank. And rent some movies, and surf the internet and listen to well music.That probably would be cheaper, and as I see it, much more mind- broadening. But then again, if you chose the charter-way, you would have the opportunity to see Grand Canadian s beautiful countryside, the mountains, the small towns, the local fishermen.. Outside of lassie palms and all the other tourist-traps. You would t have that opportunity if you stayed home, obviously. Conclusion Travel broadens t he mind. Yes it does, and no, it doses t. But then again, it does. And so it goes. It all depends on the Whoso, the Whats, the Whereas the definition f broadening ones mind and traveling.Also, it depends on the employment of the traveling, if there is one. But, I presume that one can say that there always is. And, of course, the WAY you re traveling. Are you actually, physically on Flight 943 to New York, sitting in seat F in row 34? Or are you perhaps reading a book about it? Or are you dreaming about doing so? Maybe youre already in Lass Palms, physically, in the Magnolias desert, digressive around having the time of your life in a dune-buggy. Or, as the flogger Kanata insightfully states l am reminded of E. M. Foresters A Room with a View.
