During early adulthood your worldview is still being formed.

It's important to manage this time - to give yourself opportunities

to grow. A good way to do that is to travel. There are three reasons

to travel while you're young：

　　1．Travelling teaches you to live an adventure

　　You should take the time to see the world and taste the

fullness of life. It's worth whatever investment or money or sacrifice

of time required on your part. It's not about being a tourist. It's about

experiencing true risk and adventure so you don't have to live in

fear for the rest of your life.

　　2．Travelling helps you encounter compassion (同情)

　　Travelling will put you in places that will force you to care for

issues that are bigger than you. If you go to Southeast Asia, you

may encounter (遭遇) the slave trade. If Eastern Europe, you may see

the effects of genocide (大屠杀) and religious persecution (宗教迫害)．

　　3．Travelling allows you to get some culture

　　While you're still young, you should get cultured. Get to know the

world and the magnificent people that fill it.

　　There's nothing quite like walking alongside the Coliseum or seeing

Michelangelo's David in person. I can describe the city of San Juan and

its amazing beaches and historic sites to you, but you really have to see

it for yourself to experience it. You can read all the books in the world

about the Great Wall of China or The Louvre, but being there is a different story.
