“To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries”
— Aldous Huxley

Simplified Meaning:
Traveling helps you see that many things people say about other places are not true. When we listen to stories or news about other countries, we often get a narrow view. For example, some people might think that a country is dangerous or unfriendly because of what they've heard on TV or online. But when you visit that country yourself, you might find that the people are kind and welcoming. Seeing a place with your own eyes lets you form your own opinion, which is often very different from what you were told. This teaches you not to judge places or people based on second-hand information, but instead, experience them firsthand.
