Traveling as an education for your weakness

THAILAND | Thursday, 8 May 2014 | Views [1157] | Scholarship Entry

Everyone can go traveling but, not everyone travel for a purpose. Not everyone knew that travel could change your life entirely. When I went traveling, my life just changed as well. I really love traveling to educate myself being a better woman. I really surprised how my mind open widely when I am traveling. Traveling around my country made me love my country so much and traveling to another country made me more love my country. I just proved that the negative things that slip on some of people’s mouth are not true. Many people in my country said that when you are love traveling to another country it is mean that you are not patriotism. Well, patriotism and nationalism is not in your mouth it is in your heart.

I’ll never forget the day I went to Thailand. Thai’s people in harmony going to do a demonstration on main road of Bangkok city. No rushing! No harm! No violence! They are doing demonstration peaceful. They just want to shut down the city because they are sick and tired with their past corrupt leader regime. The purpose is to restart Thailand in better way. When I see that, I was amazed. That was my first time journey to another county and I just learn a lot.

In the past, I used to be a clumsy and forgetful girl. After going trough many road, my weakness constantly reduce. When you do traveling, you must keep your money on budget, find hostel, memorizing transportation route, and stick on your itinerary. Traveling will educate you to be precise. Your weakness will be disappeared day by day without you notice it. This kind of lesson is never being taught in the school. Researchers said that learning by doing is more effective than learning by books. When you do learning by doing, your brain just adsorb the knowledge and experience. By traveling, you will do your “learning by doing” things.

Many positive things you can learn when you are traveling. It shaped your character and made your knowledge up. Sometimes, we need to see different perspective to see out of the box. When you met some resident from another country, your mind will be influence by them. You will see something different which is good for you. Beside your courage will increase rapidly. No more time to be scared with little small things in this life because you are going through many things already.
