It is often said that traveling in foreign countries is better because people will be able to broaden their view as they experience different culture. However I believe that traveling in their own country is more beneficial for the following two reasons: there are still many area that people haven't been before, and it is much cheaper than taking a trip to foreign countries.
To begin with, Although people live in their own country for a long time, there are still many places that they haven't been before. Thus, visiting these area can also broaden their view. Also, different area has different culture, people can enjoy experiencing the difference. From my personal experience, my family took a vacation in the place that is far away from my city, but still in my country. Many historical places that I have seen in my history book were placed in the area. I was very excited to see them in person. Also, since the area was far away from my city, the people there had different accent and lifestyle. As I talked to them, I was able to learn the difference and understand it. In turn, I had a great time traveling in my own country.
In addition, An enormous amount of money is needed to travel in foreign countries. This is because people are not only spend money on buying an airplane ticket but also food, hotel and lending fee, so it is very stressful to many people who have a tight budget. For example, my brother wanted to go to Japan for senior trip. In the beginning my mom signed in because she only considered the airplane ticket fee. However, when it comes to preparing for the trip, she realized that airplane ticket is not all. There were so many extra things that my brother would need when he get to Japan.
In brief, traveling in foreign countries is much better when people consider getting an experience of their own country and saving lots of money. All in all, people need to put the priority on traveling their own country. |
