Hey there, and welcome back to English on the Go,

your go-to podcast for learning English in a fun and practical way.

Today's episode is all about something many young people dream of, traveling.

We're diving into the question,

is traveling good for young people?

Whether it's for exploring new places,

learning about different cultures, or even just taking a break from everyday life,

travel seems to offer a lot.

But is it always the best choice?

In today's discussion, we'll explore the benefits and challenges young people face when traveling.

Stick around, because there's plenty to unpack and learn from.

Alright, so let's dig a little deeper into today's topic,

traveling as a young person.

We all know that traveling offers a chance to see the world,

meet new people, and gain experiences that you just can't find in the classroom or at home.

But for young people, it can mean even more.

It can help with personal growth,

learning independence, and building new perspectives.

However, it's not all smooth sailing.

There's the cost, safety concerns,

and the question of whether it's better to focus on studies or work first.

In today's conversation, we'll hear from two friends who have very different views on whether traveling is beneficial for young people.

Before we start, ask yourself,

do you think travel is essential for your development,

or is it something that can wait?

Before we jump into the conversation,

I'd like you to take a moment to think about these questions.

Remember, there are no right or wrong answers.

It's all about your opinion and experiences First,

have you ever traveled to a new place?

If so, how did it change you?

Second, do you think traveling at a young age can really help shape a person's future

or is it just a fun experience?

Take a moment to reflect on these ideas

As you listen to the conversation think about how the views

of our characters align with your own thoughts on the topic Alright,

in today's conversation, we have two friends,

Lisa and Mark, talking about whether traveling is beneficial for young people.

Lisa believes that travel is an essential part of growing up,

while Mark thinks there are other priorities to focus on.

Let's listen to what they have to say.

I just got back from my trip to Italy,

and let me tell you,

Mark, it was an eye-opener.

I feel like I've grown so much just from experiencing a new culture.

It really broadened my horizons.

I'm glad you had a good time,

Lisa, but do you really think traveling is that big of a deal?

I mean, sure, you get to see new places,

but is it really necessary, especially when you're young?

Shouldn't we focus more on studying or building a career first?

I get your point.

But traveling doesn't mean you're not being productive.

It's not just about ticking places off a list.

When you travel, you're stepping out of your comfort zone.

You learn how to deal with different situations,

meet people from all walks of life,

and it forces you to become more independent.

It's like gaining life skills you can't pick up from a textbook.

Plus, experiencing different cultures can really open your mind in ways you wouldn't expect.

It's not just about the places.

It's about the people, the customs,

even the way of thinking.

You come back with a new perspective.

I guess there's some truth to that, but it's expensive.

Most young people can't afford to travel without breaking the bank.

And let's face it, not everyone has the luxury of dropping everything and taking off.

Don't you think it's more practical to save money,

work hard, and build a stable life first?

True, travel does cost money,

but it doesn't always have to be about expensive trips.

There are ways to travel on a budget,

like staying in hostels, backpacking,

or even working part-time while traveling.

Have you ever heard of programs like Workaway or Volunteering Abroad?

You can actually work while you explore new places,

which helps keep the costs down.

And honestly, I think of it as an investment in myself.

The experiences I've gained are priceless,

whether it's learning a new language,

making connections, or just getting out of my bubble.

It's like the return on investment shows up in ways you can't predict.

Yeah, but what if something goes wrong while you're traveling?

Like, traveling alone and you run into a difficult situation.

I mean, doesn't that stress you out?

There's so much uncertainty, and what if you end up stuck in a foreign country?

That's actually part of the adventure.

Dealing with the unexpected is how you grow.

Sure, things don't always go as planned,

but that's where the real learning happens.

You learn how to problem-solve on the go,

and honestly, those moments are often the most memorable.

For example, I got lost in Rome one night.

My phone died, I didn't speak much Italian,

and at first I panicked.

But then I figured it out,

asked for directions, and ended up having the best conversation with a local who walked me back to my hotel.

That's the kind of experience that teaches you resilience.

Every problem you solve makes you stronger and more adaptable.

100

I think those challenges are what make traveling so valuable.

101

I see where you're coming from,

102

but I still think it's not for everyone.

103

Some people would rather focus on building their future first

104

and traveling later when they're more financially secure or when they've settled down.

105

Don't you think there's some value in waiting until the right moment?

106

I hear you, Mark, but the thing is, life is unpredictable.

107

If we always wait for the perfect time, it might never come.

108

And while there's nothing wrong with focusing on building your career,

109

traveling while you're young gives you a different perspective on the world.

110

It can shape your future in ways you didn't expect.

111

I mean, you can find inspiration for your career or business ideas from the places you visit,

112

or even meet people who could help you in the future.

113

You don't have to put your life on hold to travel,

114

and it's about balance, really.

115

You can build your career and travel at the same time,

116

even if it's just small trips in between jobs or study breaks.

117

Fair point.

118

I guess it does come down to personal preference.

119

It's just hard to see myself dropping everything to go travel right now.

120

Maybe I'll take the plunge and try it out one day.

121

Who knows?

122

You should.

123

Once you start, you might not want to stop.

124

Trust me, it's a game changer.

125

And it doesn't have to be a grand trip around the world.

126

Even exploring nearby countries or just visiting a new city can give you that sense of adventure.

127

You never know how it'll impact you until you experience it.

128

Yeah, maybe a short trip would be a good way to start.

129

I'll think about it.

130

It sounds like it really changed your perspective.

131

It did.

132

And you'll be surprised at how much you learn about yourself along the way.

133

You discover strengths you didn't know you had,

134

and you get a clearer idea of what you want in life.

135

Plus, the memories you make are worth every penny.

136

Alright, you've convinced me to at least consider it.

137

Maybe next year I'll start planning something.

138

Just a short trip, like you said.

139

I could use a break from the daily grind anyway.

140

That's the spirit, start small, and who knows.

141

You might catch the travel bug and never look back.

142

Just remember to enjoy the journey and keep an open mind.

143

The world has so much to offer.

144

In today's conversation, Lisa and Mark use some interesting vocabulary,

145

phrasal verbs, idioms, and life-related phrases that are useful for talking about travel and life experiences.

146

Let's dive into a few of them.

147

First off, Lisa says her trip to Italy was an eye-opener.

148

Now, when we call something an eye-opener,

149

it means it gave us a new perspective or taught us something surprising.

150

Lisa found the experience very insightful.

151

For example, visiting different countries is always an eye-opener.

152

It makes you realize how diverse the world is.

153

Then, Lisa mentions that traveling broadened her horizons.

154

This idiom means it expanded her knowledge or understanding.

155

Traveling allows you to see things you wouldn't experience otherwise,

156

so it's a great way to broaden your horizons.

157

For instance, reading books is good,

158

but traveling really broadens your horizons.

159

Now, Mark brings up the issue of breaking the bank.

160

This idiom means spending a lot of money,

161

more than you can afford.

162

He's worried about the cost of traveling,

163

and he doesn't want to break the bank.

164

If you're not careful, dining out all the time can really break the bank.

165

Later in the conversation, Lisa talks about stepping out of your comfort zone.

166

This is a common phrase we use when talking about doing something that feels uncomfortable or unfamiliar but helps you grow.

167

Lisa feels that traveling forces her to step out of her comfort zone.

168

Starting a new job can push you out of your comfort zone,

169

but it's often worth it.

170

Finally, Lisa wraps it up by saying travel is a game changer.

171

A game changer is something that completely changes the way you think or approach something.

172

Learning English was a real game changer for my career.

173

I just got back from my trip to Italy.

174

And let me tell you,

175

Mark, it was an eye-opener.

176

I feel like I've grown so much just from experiencing a new culture.

177

It really broadened my horizons.

178

I'm glad you had a good time,

179

Lisa, but do you really think traveling is that big of a deal?

180

I mean, sure, you get to see new places,

181

but is it really necessary, especially when you're young?

182

183

I get your point, but traveling doesn't mean you're not being productive.

184

It's not just about ticking places off a list.

185

186

187

192

193

194

198

199

work hard, and build a stable life first?
