Let's Explore the World

Nowadays people can explore the world with just a smart phone and a translator in their hands. However, to travel the world is not a monopoly of English speakers only. The truth is that it was never so easy to discover new places and people. Everything you need is a goal and a plan. That’s why in Portuguese we have a quote that says, “who has mouth goes to Rome”, in English it means something like “it’s better to ask than go astray”, cause people who are not ashamed to ask for information and use the technology available, can accomplish great things.

So, if it is possible to explore the world without English fluency, why is speaking English so important? When you speak English, you can make things happen with a peaceful state of mind. You don’t need to worry, for example, about your phone’s battery. You can get lost and ask people’s help. In addition, you might be surprised about how many people will be able to talk to you, so they can practice their English too. You will learn and listen to things directly through the locals thus, you will understand why things are this way or that. This exchange of experiences will provide a deep and a real discovery about not just the place, but the locals. Speaking English will allow a cultural immersion. After all, this is the main meaning of a journey: to make friends along the way, to learn and teach things and to exchange experiences. This sharing involvement will enrich the voyage and make the path much more meaningful and fun.
