Travelling is always a part of everyone’s life as we move to different places often. It is agreed by some people that surrounding affects the way people behave while they are travelling. On the other hand, some believed that people act in the way just they are, regardless they location. For this statement, I am inclined to believe that people behave differently from the way they behave at home as to show good examples to other people around them.

One of the reasons people used to behave differently when travelling is to bring the good name of their family, society and nation. This can be obviously seen in the way students behave when they are studying in another country. They tend to be better than they used to be at home, practicing good values and try to suit themselves in the new environment. Try to consider an example of a foreign student who act rude and impolite towards his friends. People may think that being rude is probably not a big deal in the student’s country and they might assume that is the way the society of that particular country behave like. This may lead people in surroundings to give bad impressions to the whole community which student belongs to.

Besides, people behave properly when they are not at home because they are not familiar enough with a new environment. This means that they cannot act like they are at home as different environments are all about adaptations of new cultures, new lifestyles and new ways of thinking. Hence, in order to undergo the process of suiting themselves in the society, they need to behave nicely to make people around them comfortable to deal with them.

In a nutshell, people often behave differently when they are at distinct places. In addition, I am strongly believe that they even have to practice good values to show good instance to the new people around them instead of being themselves naturally. If all travellers behave nicely in their journeys, that would be the most memorable journeys to be remembered of.
