Five reasons why travel as a student?

Student life is the most free time in the life of every human. You are step away from the parents, and getting money mostly from parents, you enjoy learning and you get yourself some money. Rather than spend all the money on going out, coffee and clothes, it might better be spent on travel and exploring other cultures. We bring you five reasons why it's best to do in your student days.


You become 'adult' when finish college

While studying finances are still somewhat under the custody of the State, and often a parent.  You have no children (I guess), mortgages (hopefully), and neither work full time that imprisons you. As soon as you finish college you become 'adult' and your obligations automatically rise. Students no longer have the privilege, nor the parents, except for those rare, will not look favorably when you spend their money now that you have a 'big mules and can make money on your own.

Precisely because of what awaits you after college, trip in this student days is a great choice, because a lot of teachers would have more understanding for you (if they do not, you do not care to) when you go for ten days by train to nowhere, then your employer will have when he pays you salary each tenth of the month. 



Travel is cheaper when you are younger

Not only because of student status that gives you a number of benefits in terms of transport and accommodation, in an early stage of life you can easily adjust to a lower standard. You don't mind when traveling all night and squeeze at seats, and then during the days merry and discover new things. Less you matter whether you sleep and what you eat.

The important thing is that some hostels receive only the younger population, and after you pass certain age that cheaper accommodation becomes less accessible. All in all, make the time while you still have energy and you do not have criteria.



You will learn more than from books

Knowledge that you can get from the book is absolutely fantastic, but it does not compare with what you can learn on the road. You can read about Sofia Aji all days, view pictures and listen to lectures, but none can convey the feeling when you enter this magnificent building and feel the breath of the time that has passed through it.

In short, the facts mean little and you'll easily forget them, but what you experience by yourself you will never
forget.



Travel expands your worldview

When you whole life stay in your city or state you are like a ship in a bottle. Travel opens up new horizons, meet new people and culture. Therefore you become more tolerant and learn to see things from different angles which is very important in your development.

Student days are convenient because then you're most open to the new things. You are in the age when you and your body and soul yearn to discover something new that will make your world more beautiful and different
.



It can help you in your job search

You probably have a lack of experience. This is normal because along with studying it is quite difficult to get some experience in jobs. Your travel experience can help you in these interviews. You would not believe how much some employers appreciate young people who have seen the world. It gives them the feeling that you are a cosmopolitan oriented and that you are capable of independently solve new situations.
