Traveling is a great way to gain experiences and knowledge, a good opportunity to learn about different people, cultures, environment, and nature of other countries. Traveling is one of my personal interests because it made me an open-minded person especially when it comes to communicating with people living in other countries. Before having traveling experiences I used to think that I had done everything there was to do and I had seen everything there was to see, but I was absolutely wrong. Thanks to traveling, now I have learned many new things.
 

Each culture in the world has a solid boundary between itself and other cultures, a boundary which can be linguistic, geographical or religious. Each culture has great internal consistency. People within the culture behave more or less the same. Each culture has a stable set of customs that has remained unchanged over time. Through traveling I have learned about many cultures of Asia, Europe and Africa including many new things about different cultures; their customs, way of living, cloths, food, traditions and the like. At the same time while traveling and learning about different people and their cultures, I have learned about my family and myself. Now I am well aware that different cultures may come from different places and practice different traditions, but we do have many things in common.
 

In the meantime I have seen different nature habitats, including basin swamps, wet Flatwoods, sand hills, wet prairies and cypress swamps. I came across very rare plants and shocking wildlife species including red cockaded woodpeckers, gopher tortoises, Flatwoods salamanders and carnivorous pitcher. Everything that I have learned from that nature has put me back in contact with the basic mindset of childhood. Nature has reminded me to embrace and respect life and be curious about everything in this whole world. Before all of this due to lack of interest I never thought about nature at all but after my traveling experience I am really interested in learning and exploring nature.
 

Being resident of United States, I am more comfortable with slight cold weather. While traveling I have experienced different kinds of weather conditions. I think it is very difficult to adjust yourself with different weather conditions when you quickly move from one place to other. Now I have sufficient information about climates of different countries, so next time I would not be having any problems with weather. The most important thing that I have learned is never trust weather while you are traveling; especially weather in Europe is not dependable at all.
 

Traveling is a great way to broaden experience and to gain exposure to other cultures, nature and environments of different countries; thus it is a great way to learn about everything in the whole world.
