For some people travelling around parts of the world is really important to them, for others they are not as bothered. Travelling around the world can often be expensive and many people have to save up for a number of years before they can afford to go and even then, they may have to try and find work when they are out there to allow them to fund their trip.
Travelling around from country to country can be fascinating and can allow you to find out and experience a number of different cultures and learn about how other people live. These experiences can help you throughout your life and allow you to be more accepting about living with people of different views and beliefs.
Travelling is often said to help people discover who they really are and what direction they want to take their life in, meaning when they return they are focused on their career or life choices.
