Good morning, Kitos! Thanks so much for revising my essay.

People can benefit more from traveling in his own country than traveling in foreign countries.

Travel has always been a really good option to relax during our vacation. Which way will benefit people more, traveling domestically or overseas? From my prospective, there are surly more advantageous when people travel in their own countries.

First of all, comparing travel abroad, there is no language barrier when people travelling within their home country. It’s much easier for people to deal no matter buying the transportation tickets, booking hotels, asking for direction or ordering dishes in a restaurant. We are all familiar with the scene that a foreigner conducted all kinds of gesture in order to let people understand what they want to express. If we travel abroad, we maybe the one standing in the street and gesturing , or sitting in a restaurant, facing a menu, but having no idea what kind of food the restaurant offer and what we should order.

Moreover, travelling domestically, people can learn the local custom, culture much better and faster, even there are some difference concerning customs and culture between different parts according to the different climate, and geography condition. After all, all the parts of the country have interacted for a long time, shared the culture, and created the history together. Hence, we won’t be utterly strange about them even if we haven’t been there before. It’s easy for us to recall the knowledge amassed before.

Furthermore, it’s economical to travel in our own countries. We can choose train or bus, which are more economical than air plane. We don’t need to spend a fortune on the tickets in order to fly over the ocean to another side. Even if we opt to travel by air, the price of domestic flight is lower than that of international line more often than not. Besides, as we know, in many countries, the vendors sell items to foreigners with much higher price than to their folks. Therefore, we could harvest a bunch of joyful time economically if we travel domestically.

In a word, if I plan for my vocation, I will choose travelling in my own country since it can bring me an enjoyable vocation with lots of benefits.

Not too bad Channelee. You write well, but need to do more reading to widen your horizons.
