**TRAVELING AS A LEARNING VENTURE**

>Saint Augustine said "The world is a book and only those who do not travel, only read one page".

People travel for many reasons and most of them travel to learn more about the city or community they are visiting. Every community has something perculiar, it could be the way the dress, what they eat, how they dance and even the language they speak. There is always something new to learn. Within a town where we live has so much diversity and thus, so much to learn.

**WHAT TRAVELING DOES TO ONE**

1) IT DEVELOPS ONES INTERPERSONAL SKILLS

When one travels, it brings about interactions between them and those in the visiting town. It takes two to tango for learning to take place; there is a teacher to teach and also a learner to consume what is been taught. When one engages with new people, it has a way of strengthening their interpersonal skills.

2) IT BUILDS YOUR EXPERIENCE

Traveling adds up to your experiences and makes you more informed and diversified. It exposes they Traveller to new things which makes them knowledgeable and equipped in different areas.

3) IT DEVELOPS YOUR LANGUAGE SKILLS

One of the benefits of traveling is learning new languages. Each community has a language perculiar to them. Not just that, a traveler has they opportunity to learn about new cultures (food, costume) and traditions.

When I traveled to the north-eastern part of Nigeria, Adamawa State to be precise, I learnt that it is in the place of a bride-to-be to equip her husband's house with furnitures, utensils and other facilities a house needs before a marriage can be finalized. This isn't so with other parts which is vice-versa. Learning new cultures enlightens and exposes one to new things.
