Travel to grow

Learn to see, and then you'll know that there is no end to the new worlds of our vision. Carlos Castaneda

I love learning and I try to do these in many ways, I really thing that are many paths to learn, I mean you can learn from the people (my family, my boyfriend, my friends and also the unknown), from the trips, from the books, from the colleagues, in my case from my students, etc. I really think that the years and the experience widen your world vision.
When I was a child the only way that I used to enjoy travelling to other places was through reading books, I used to hate spend hours in highways in order to arrive to someplace. However when I moved to Mexico City, I started to share time with foreign people and it help me to see my own country with other eyes. Two years after I arrived to Mexico City, I had the opportunity to travel abroad and after it to live by one year in Spain; and these experiences help me to grow up in many ways, then since my experience there are a difference between be a tourist and spend few days in a place, visiting the places prepared to receive tourist and spend more money that the usually you will spend per day and being foreign in a place and live an ordinary life and crash with a different culture and it sometimes is exciting but sometimes is frustrating. However is an experience that teaches you be more tolerant, more flexible and be more proud about your own country.
Nowadays I try to travel more frequently. If the travel is long I prefer plan each detail, but if it is close and we (my boyfriend and I) will not spend more than a day or a couple of days I will be more flexible with the planeation.
Finally I think travel is an amazing idea if is your choice and use it in order to rest, learn or known more things .Travel will become in bad idea if it will be a routine that you have to do ( for work reason, medical treatments, etc), then could be a torture.
I really think travel is one but not the unique way to be better and widen your world vision.
Try to do it, but with the condition of be open to feel new flavors and new things.
