What are the benefits of traveling that young people love so much?
Traveling in many different ways has gradually become a trend for a part of young people. In European and American countries, students spend a whole year after graduation to travel. They call that year a gap-year. And many people even quit their jobs to travel around the world. So what are the benefits of traveling that young people are so passionate about?

1. Smarter
"A day's travel teaches a lot of knowledge." Wise people have one thing in common: they are always "on the move", both physically and mentally. There they take comprehensive classes on: history, geography, architecture, language... All are real-life experiences that no book can teach.
You may not be rich financially, but your knowledge bank will definitely be fuller every day. As Augustine once said: "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page."
2. Communicate better, be more open and friendly
When you go to a new land, you talk to the locals to learn about the history and culture. Thanks to that, your communication skills will improve. Communicating more with strangers also makes you more open and friendly to those around you. In addition, traveling is one of the fastest ways to learn a foreign language.

3. More engaging
Living in a strange city, eating new foods, discovering a fascinating place, immersing yourself in fairyland beaches, meeting some new friends, telling about your experiences in a faraway country... these things will somehow help you become more attractive in the eyes of your friends.
4. More confident
As you become more open, friendly, intelligent and charismatic, your confidence levels will also improve greatly.

5. Make more friends
Along the way, you will have the opportunity to meet new friends. They can be your fellow travelers, or local people. Regardless of who they are, it is great to have more friends, especially those with similar interests, right?
6. Stronger, more independent
When you travel on a tour, you will rarely notice this, everything is taken care of by the travel agency. You have nothing to do but pay, pack your bags and go. On the contrary, when you travel independently, you will prepare yourself from the smallest things such as: buying tickets, booking rooms, finding locations, renting cars...
You may encounter unforeseen situations such as missing the train, not being able to find a hotel, getting lost... However, at that time you will discover how strong you are. And after such trips, you will become much more independent.
7. Understand yourself
Traveling will help you discover your hidden potential. Set a specific goal and conquer it. You will see that you can do many things that seemed impossible. Then you will realize that you lacked a little determination and daring before.
8. Happier
When you leave your home - your comfort zone, you will have time to think and reflect on your life. Successes, joys, happiness and even sadness... will become easier to accept.
And with each new land, new landscapes, new friends... will make your life more joyful. Traveling teaches you how to find happiness in simple things.
9. Love your homeland
Indeed. Only when you travel, you will see how beautiful your homeland is. And not only will you be proud, you will love this beloved S-shaped strip of land even more.
10. Love your family more
On every trip, you will miss your loved ones. Seeing them every day makes you forget how important they are. Therefore, only when you are far away, you will understand their importance.
11. Change your child in a positive direction
Smart, confident, attractive, strong, independent, happy, loving family and hometown more... doesn't traveling completely change people, in a positive way?
There is no denying the positive benefits of travel for young people. However, along with the benefits, there are still downsides. We only hope that those who travel will be more aware and find meaning behind each journey.
