It is an indisputable fact that travelling around the world plays an important role in sharpening one’s mind.

Although

travelling is associated with some threats like safety and fear of theft, I agree that these play a minimal role when compared with

the advantages

. On the one hand, there are a couple of concerns people face while travelling to new places.

Firstly

visiting new places. But they fail to understand that there would be no proper guidance or supervisor’s set-up to monitor their activities. As there would be lack of expert supervision in
