Have you seen a long canyon? The canyon
has many hills and plateaus. Believe it! It’s
a canyon that is 446 kilometers carved by
the Colorado River. The name of the canyon
is The Grand Canyon in Arizona, the United
States of America.
My mom, my dad and I visited the Grand
Canyon last year. We went for the helicopter
ride first. The helicopter took us over the
Grand Canyon to get a better view of it. We
took the ride to reach the Colorado River
because there was a boating station on the
side of the river. We went inside the boat and
saw the Grand Canyon from both sides. We
got out of the boat and waited until another
helicopter took us to a higher place of the
Canyon. We saw that the Grand Canyon
is very wide stretching and stretching and
stretching all over the place. After that, we
went to the bus station and waited for the
bus. When the bus came, we went to the
parking station and went back. Believe me,
it was the most beautiful place I have ever
been to and do you know why? It was very
colourful and big.

No matter who you ask, everyone says they
have a dream travel destination, some place
that sparks their curiosity. But, travelling
and visiting new places is a lot more than
just sightseeing. Listed below are three
reasons why travelling is more than just a
visual experience.
1. It introduces new cultures and dynamics.
When you travel you learn about other
cultures, other traditions and communities.
It helps develop your communication skills.
2. It widens your educational skills.
Hitler’s reign of terror feels a lot more real
and not just like a story in a book when
you stand in the gas chambers of Auschwitz
concentration camp. Travelling makes
history come alive. It turns what once were
boring history lessons into unforgettable
memories.
3. It helps you see the bigger picture.
Travelling opens your eyes to the suffering
that millions endure. The stories in the
newspaper take a whole new meaning
when you see it with your own eyes. And
it compels you to help people and give back
to society.
