Travel as a Part of Education

Education means the all round development in ourselves. It can by physical, mental or moral development. In a broad sense it can be defined as the drawing out of the individual’s personality and intellectual ability.

Early travelers were the Dutch, the Scandinavians, the Portuguese and the British. They explored and conquered the trade, commerce and diplomacy. They considered themselves teachers. Travelers with a scientific outlook became explorers, others empire builders and adventurers. Among the great names of travelers, Clive of India, Sir Stamford Raffles of Singapore, Huen Tsang of China and Marco Polo are worth mentioning.

Now we look at another purpose of travel; it is for love of ‘culture’. Italy and Greece are living reflections of ancient classical love. The

‘educated’ young man, rich and sophisticated, is not considered completely ‘finished’ until his classical education has culminated in a ‘Grand Tour’ of Europe.

Travelling teaches us many things. It makes history real. It also gives us a true idea of the industrial, agricultural and mineral resources of a country. By extensive travel one is able to learn the geography of many countries. It creates in us the desire for investigation, exploration and discovery of many countries of the world.     

The theory of travel in the modern age is completely different. Every intelligent person today, regards travel as an intellectual  venture and goes abroad prepared to learn rather than observe.
