Many people travel to far away places on vacation to get away from everything, and focus on themselves and relaxing. But other people travel to learn about the world, and to understand customs of the world. It is important to travel because when you travel you immerse yourself in other cultures, instead of just staying home, and not learning anything new.
Do you think that people travel to get away from everything? Or do you think people travel to get a better understanding of the world, and to create themselves as a wiser person who understands other cultures and customs? And Why?

Many people take vacations to get away from the every day stress, but don't do much besides staying at a hotel and relaxing by the pool when they go away. I think traveling is really valuable because you can learn a lot of things about the culture and history of a place. To actually experience a place is a lot more fun that reading and learning about it from a book. In my family, every vacation we went on, we'd go on trips and visit places with a lot of history behind them and I really enjoyed learning about different cultures and actually getting a taste of them.
As Marcelina said, many people do travel to get away from their daily lives and to just relax. Although that is good and needed, it is also very important to go on vacation for a morning intellectual experience. When traveling to other countries it is good to experience the culture that you are currently in. You should go and visit monuments and other important places to that particular culture. It gives you more knowledge on a wider range of subjects and gives you depth as person. Learning about other places besides where you live is an experience everyone should take at least once in their lifetime.
I think many people use travel as a means to escape their monotonous lives, however, through this travel they can learn a lot about themselves and the world around them. Whenever you are in a new place with different people or customs you are bound to learn something new, that you never would have learned elsewhere. This causes people to become more tolerant and open minded about the world and others. I have done very much traveling in my lifetime and I must say that with every journey I not only learned about other countries and their inhabitants, but I learned more about myself. Traveling taught me independence, resourcefulness, critical thinking, street smarts, and various other traits and talents. If I had not been allowed the opportunities I have to travel I feel that I would be a very different person, possibly a "worse" person.
I think that people do travel to get away from all the chaos going on in their lives and when they travel they do find themselves and learn new things that they wouldn't have known if they haven't traveled. I also think people go traveling to soley find themselves, it depends on the person.

I think people deffinately travel to get away from chaos and the get rest from stressful lives. Most people go on vacations and travel to get away from everything and go for selfish reasons. However, there are plenty of people who go to get new world experiences
people travel for different reasons some to see the world and experience new things but others travel strictly to get away from things and isolate themselves from everyone they know. hwoever, many people travel just to see the world and not to get away and i think that is the best way to travel
