“What one learns in a classroom is just a very small part of the learning process. The real learning starts when you cross borders and travel miles for the real knowledge”. This is one famous quote that most of us agree with. Yes, believe it or not, you can learn a lot in a trip or vacation that you thought would be only relaxing and revitalizing.
- Meet, greet and intermingle with different people
One of the reasons why travelling will be a wonderful learning experience is the fact that you will meet, communicate and interact with different people. Communicating with other people can be a perfect bridge for the social, international, political, religious, financial differences between the people of the world.
Interacting with other people gives you a front row seat to their way of doing things and living life; something that might actually impact you positively when it comes to relating to people who are different from you.
- Get knowledge of new places
There are so many places to go that you cannot exhaust all even in a year. The world is made up of beautiful scenery, eye-catching flora and fauna, memorable adventures, sumptuous local and international cuisines, to mention but a few. Therefore, travelling to different parts of the world will not only be entertaining and relaxing but also a wonderful learning experience.
For example, unless you visit the MaasaiMara (a famous wildlife destination in Kenya, Africa),how will you get a chance to witness the 7th wonder of the world? Watching the wildebeest migration as it happens will be a delightful learning experience that you cannot afford to lose.
- Get a chance to try new things
One of the main reasons we travel is to get out of our shell. Travelling comes with a list of surprises and whether it is staring at a menu that has different meals that you know nothing about, or jumping on a train to a place that you have never been to, or even shaking hands with strangers, travelling will for sure make you do things you probably have never done before.
With STS Travel, all you need to do is relax, put yourself out there and turn your situations to wonderful experiences. Step out of your comfort zone and try out even what seems out of the ordinary. This will make your trip more enjoyable and memorable.
- Learn a language that is different from yours
Visiting new places and meeting new people is a step towards learning a different language. Owing to the fact that you have to communicate with the people you find in your destination is indication that you will grab a part of their local language, right? After all, you will have to order a meal from the local menus, ask for directions or even try to understand the street signs. Trust you me, by the time your trip comes to an end, you will learn a word or two.
