4 Ditch the Textbook — Go Travel Instead!
A Textbook Won’t Do You Justice! WHY TRAVELING IS THE BEST FORM OF EDUCATION
As you mark your calendars with upcoming holidays, get-togethers, events, and school activities, there may be one you’re missing: American Adventures Month. This monthlong event encourages you to be adventurous and travel so you can better understand the world around you. While you can research online or open a book to learn more about any part of the world, nothing beats visiting these places yourself. Here are three reasons why traveling is the best form of education. YOU LEARN MORE ABOUT PEOPLE. When you travel to other states or internationally, you can learn a lot about the culture of these places by speaking to residents. They can suggest historical places for you to visit that teach you about their heritage, lifestyle, and what life was
like for their ancestors. You will think about things you’ve never considered before and have a deeper appreciation for the views of others. YOU GAIN A DEEPER APPRECIATION FOR HISTORY. When you walk through important historical locations, you understand the past better because you’re living it! You’re walking the same roads or staring at the same landmarks that civilizations from centuries ago did. When you immerse yourself in the history of a place, you can better understand why its origins are meaningful. YOU LEAVE YOUR COMFORT ZONE. Traveling somewhere new can be nerve- wracking! You won’t know the best mode of transportation or know anyone there — you may not even speak any native languages! By leaving what makes you comfortable, you’ll learn to
depend on yourself and embrace change and uncertainty. These skills can and will help you in all aspects of life. So, travel this month and learn something new! We understand you can’t drop everything just to hop on a plane to another country, so try venturing to a nearby city you’ve never visited and learning about its history.
