Few people directly connect traveling with education, but even if they do, the connection occurs primarily in the form of sightseeing, museum visiting, foreign-cuisine sampling, and, of course, souvenir gathering. The education involved is often limited to what travelers acquire from a museum docent or a guidebook. Ultimately, the travelers return to their normal routines with a set of pictures and some stories to tell about strange architecture, strange foods, and strange people. Besides and beyond these aspects, however, traveling can be one of the most important contributing factors to a person’s educational development. Under the right circumstances, traveling may prove to be equally necessary, if not more enriching than schooling.
