Whether it be traveling locally, or traveling to places outside our country, both have their charms and their challenges. Traveling in the past was always a challenging activity. Meeting different people, with different views and different dialects or languages is not for the timid soul.
It is a better thing to have local knowledge. When we go out for buying something, we interact with people whose daily experience is totally different from ours. We develop ourselves when we meet them. We understand their emotions, their need and desires and also how we can align ourselves to others. It is a complex process of adjustment.
In history it was Alexander, Huan Tsang who traveled. Obviously, both traveled for different reasons. Alexander for conquering other countries, where as Huan Tsang went merely for increasing his knowlege about different cultures.
Traveling, now a days is very job oriented. We forget it is also an opportunity to meet diverse people. New experiences to share, new places to visit, this is traveling as a part of education.
