presentation. First of all, let me thank you all for coming here today. My talk is particularly relevant to those of you who are thinking about travelling this year and so, I will go over its benefits and drawbacks.
My first point concerns the personal growth and
self-discovery that you will experience. The act of stepping outside one's comfort zone, navigating new environments, and interacting with different cultures can be a life-bending experience. Traveling challenges individuals to adapt, learn, and grow, acquiring qualities such as resilience, open-mindedness, and a broader perspective on life.
My next point brings up to the discussion the
stress-relief of travelling. It offers a temporary escape from your mundane life. Exploring new destinations, whether near or far, can provide a refreshing break, reducing stress levels and promoting overall well-being. The change of scenery and exposure to novel experiences contribute to your mental well-being. Now, I'd like to focus on a major drawback of travelling, which is its environmental impact. The environmental footprint of travel, particularly air travel, is a cause for concern. The carbon emissions associated with transportation contribute to climate change. The rapid growth in tourism can lead to overdevelopment, habitat destruction, and increased waste, posing threats to fragile ecosystems.
In conclusion, travelling is like a double-edged sword,
offering enriching experiences while also posing a problem for the environment.
