What a Classroom Cant Teach You!!! Im absolutely fascinated with
learning about other cultures and traveling. Its an
indescribable feeling when you get off an airplane and enter a
whole new world;
everything is so different from what you're used to. Before I go
anywhere just like most
people I go online and read about it. I started traveling when I
was about 14 years old
which has opened up my mind more than anything. !
! Ive traveled to Egypt, Morocco, Israel and Germany. Being
tremendously
interested in these countries I did a lot of reading about them.
I was never the type of
person who liked to read but once I started traveling I was
exceptionally intrigued in
knowing more information. Youll be surprised how much knowledge
you acquire from
reading something youre interested about. One of my favorite
things is learning other
languages and trying different food. Although in Egypt, Morocco,
and Israel the main
language is Arabic, each country has their own dialect which I
had no choice but to
learn. I remember when I was in a restaurant in Jerusalem and
while I was reading the
menu I discovered that most of the food is named something
different. !
! Traveling to a new country expands our awareness and allows us
to put things
into perspective. On my recent trip to Egypt about a month ago I
was able to broaden
my mind by reading about their political system. I would read
out of the newspaper
which was very difficult at first because standard Arabic is
used, not like English where
the way we talk is how we write. When youre in a different
country youll be so amused
