Travel as a means of education
In the past travel was considered an essential part of education. Poets and writers realised the value of travel and went out to other countries in search of knowledge. A man's education was not completed until he had visited foreign lands.

Early civilization began on the banks of the great rivers of the world, such as the Nile and the Indus. These rivers provided the water, the people on their banks needed for all their purposes. As people in those early days did not...
The importance of water

"I loved seeing fog in the early morning when I was a child. The fog made the city beautiful and therapeutic when it submerged the landscape. Taking a deep breath of fresh air really brought me a feeling of relaxation. Now, I can still see the fog even in the middle of the day, but it no longer brings me the same pleasant feeling.
