There might be some people who believes that it is better to travel overseas than to travel in their own country. However, I personally disagree the above argument with following two subsequent reasons. First, traveling overseas is more time-consuming than domestic traveling. Second, traveling foreign countries makes one be stressed than traveling domestic regions.
To begin with, it requires even more time to travel around countries in overseas. To travel overseas, people usually have to endure long time journey until they arrive the foreign country via an airplane . However, when they plan to travel their own country, it does not demand much time to travel around. Therefore, people can expend left time on other activities during the domestic travel. Let me bring up my personal experience as an example, I traveled Iceland during my summer vacation of the university. Since it required 2 days to arrive the country from South Korea, I cannot experience many leisure activities like spa or glacier walking, because of the lack of time. If I had traveled Yangyang in my own country, I would have used more time with activities like swimming and surfing. Therefore, traveling foreign country is not time-efficient traveling than the domestic travel.
On top of that, traveling abroad makes people be stressed. Foreign people in the other countries often use the other languages, and also live in different cultures. Even if the easiest task in their own country, it can cause a trouble during the traveling overseas. On the other hand, in the domestic country, it is not more likely to occur an unexpected trouble. For example, one of my friends went to Greece in order to see Greek arts. However, he was not able to speak any foreign languages. Simultaneously, Greek people were not able to communicate with him. And then, he missed several chances to see famous sculptures, because he was not able to communicate and translate Greek even if there was an indication about the close of the museum. Accordingly, he was extremely stressed out with the problem that he did not see some pieces of what he wants to see. Therefore, traveling overseas can be stressful with an unexpected trouble.
In conclusion, traveling overseas not only requires much time, but also makes people be stressed with unexpected experiences. In this regard, it is much better to travel domestic country than foreign country. |
