5 Things I learn from traveling I have been to a few countries around the world include Laos, Myanmar, Japan, Australia, Sweden, Germany, France, and Norway. Every traveling experience teaches me about people and culture and it helps me learn more about the world. These are five things I learned from my traveling experience. 1. Local food is amazing I am a foodie and I always try new dishes whenever I have opportunities. I have tried everything from a basic dish like omelet to fine dining restaurants. I still remember I tried omelet in Australia to see whether it was different from Thai omelet and it was. I always cook omelet with oil and makes it a little crispy while omelet I tried in Australia was cooked with butter. 2. People are nice Our experience traveling aboard has been really good so far. Locals have been very nice and helpful to us. I remember when I went to Paris and arrived late at night. I got lost in the city and asked a guy around to tell me the direction. He did not speak English and could not tell us how to get there. So, he gave us a ride to the hotel and I was still thankful to him until this day. My wife also joked to me that I was so brave to get into a stranger's car which I agreed with her haha. 3. There are some amazing places that are not touristy I had a really amazing experience in Sweden when I just walked randomly in the city and made a stop where I wanted. I visited a few places that was really nice and beautiful. I also had really great dishes and snacks during these 'getting lost' days. 4. Experience new things and seeing the city is fun I also stay at an Airbnb apartment in downtown area instead of a nice hotel since I want to spend most of my time outside to experience the city and culture while the room is only for sleeping. This has been working well so far. We spend most of our time outside talking to people, visiting local places, or just getting lost in the city and I am happy with this. 5. Traveling helps you grow Traveling has opened my world view and helped me to be more confident. I went to Japan with an expectation that it would be easy to get a SIM card and I was wrong. I spent one day searching for a SIM card with no luck. I needed to talk to many people asking for help and learned that I should better plan my trip next time.
