Q What are the benefits of travelling?
A: Well, I think travelling has a multitude of benefits. For starters, it’s a great way for people to unwind. Many people nowadays are under a great deal of pressure and they may even feel depressed because of it, so it’s quite important for them to do something from time to time in order to relax. I believe travelling is one of the best things they can do. Another benefit of travelling is that it allows people to see different cultures, traditions and lifestyles. In fact, I just came back from New Zealand, and what I found there was that people in this country lived a very slow pace of life, which is really different from where I come from.
