10 Best Online Travel Sites in India

“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” – said Saint Augustine. Travelling can teach you more than any university course. You learn about the culture of the country you visit. If you talk to locals, you will likely learn about their thinking, habits, traditions, and history as well. you will not only learn about foreign cultures but about your own as well. You will notice the cultural differences and will find out what makes your culture unique.

After returning from a long journey, you will see your country with new eyes. Some of my most cherished memories are from the times when I was traveling. If you travel, you can experience things that you could never experience at home. You may see beautiful places and landscapes that do not exist where you live. You may meet people that will change your life and your thinking. You may try activities that you have never tried before.
