Traveling Teaches Students in a Way Schools Can't Amanda Machado, December 1, 2014, The Atlantic https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2014/12/traveling-offers-lessons-that-us- schools-fail-to-provide/383090/ When I turned 15, my parents sent me alone on a one-month trip to Ecuador, the country where my father was born. This was tradition in our family—for my parents to send their first-generation American kids to the country of their heritage. That month in Ecuador did more for my character, education, and sense of identity than any other experience in my early life. During my travel, I often did not have access to hot water, Internet, air conditioning, or even basic electricity. I slept in rooms with spiders, mosquitos, and bedbugs. I rode on public transportation that rarely left on time and often broke down suddenly in remote areas. But these trips didn’t only teach me to appreciate what I had; they also moved me to consider why I had it in the first place. I realised that much of what I thought was necessity was, in fact, luxury and began to realise how easily I could survive with much less.
