In today’s world travelling across the globe has become very trendy. While some people feel that it is necessary as it can help gain knowledge about other countries, others argue that there is enough content online and on
television
. In
this
essay, I will discuss both sides of the argument and explain my support for the former.
Firstly
, with the advent of technology, accessibility to information on digital platforms is a blessing. From different kinds of exotic places across the planet to various people and cultures, everything is available.
For example
, anyone travelling to a unique destination will post blogs or Vlogs on the places they have visited, things they did and would share their experience in detail, helping
one
learn about that place.
Moreover
, there are many
television
programs available on travel, food and history
different countries where
one
can learn about.
Firstly
, with technological advancements, accessibility to information on digital platforms is a blessing. Various social media channels
such
as Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat carry information on exotic destinations displaying different cultures, food cuisines and habits.
For example
,
influencers
travelling to unique destinations, constantly post blogs or Vlogs on the places to see, dining experiences, city
trails etc. The detailed journey shared in
such
cases helps people learn about countries without having the need to visit it.
Moreover
, there are many
television
programs available on travel, food and history
different countries where
one
can increase their
span
of knowledge.
On the other hand
, when someone travels to a different land, they will gain practical experience. Meeting new people, getting an opportunity to interact with them and staying among them will definitely help
one
learn about their lifestyle better.
For instance
, I personally lived in four different countries in the
span
of six years and I learnt more about each country better in
person
rather than reading about them online.
Moreover
, I felt more excited when I stood on the London bridge rather that watching it online.
On the other hand
, some people enjoy travelling to new places and learn more when they are out of their comfort zone. A real adventure is felt and could possibly be different to what is written or heard about.
experiences
such
as trying a local dish, establishing real connections or getting a feeling of adrenaline rush while doing an adventure sport can only be felt when done in
person
.

In conclusion, even though there is ample amount of material available on the digital space and on
television
to learn about other countries, I believe travelling can broaden
one
’s horizons as it certainly helped expand mine.
