There are various reasons as to why a person love to travel. They might do it for fun and pleasure,  for relaxation and self-discovery, to escape reality and to discover the wonders of the world.

Traveling gives a person various experiences, and from these experiences, they learn. Some learnings people can get from traveling can either be direct, indirect, formal and informal. 

When one travels, they don't only discover more of the place but also the culture and tradition of that place. Being able to talk with the locals can bring a traveler a new perspective in life.  People can learn how people from other culture think and live. 

Through traveling, a person can also learn about himself or herself. They're exposed in a place which can be entirely different from where they live. And so, they discover a new side to them. The can even search for what they truly want to do in life since they learn a lot of things and gradually widen their horizon.

In traveling, we can also learn more about the place that we visit. We can learn by going to museums, checking out various architecture and even by exploring the natural places in that place. Traveling is indeed a fun way of learning things.

I really hope I could get to travel the world someday! <3

I travel because I like seeing beautiful places and eating delicious food. 😆 Honestly, I don't travel for the purpose of learning. I just want to look at beautiful things and relax. 😂 Well, okay if I'm interested in something, then I'll research or ask around but most of the time I just want to look and touch, if allowed. Like in museums, some things you can only take a look, and sometimes you can touch it :)

But when you travel, you can't help but learn a thing or two. It's not intentional, but you get it anyway. For example, remember when we went to Osmena Peak? When we had to ride the habal-habal? - the motorbicycle ride of death? That was an experience! It was my first time to ride it and suffice to say, I may not ride it again. I've learned my lesson. 😂 It was definitely not intentional but the lesson was ingrained in my memory...and on my knee 😂
