Renuka Vaidyanathan, an erstwhile finance professional, opted out of the corporate rat race and now likes to think that she wears many interesting hats. She is an events’ organiser in the cultural space and also writes every now and then about people, places and events. She is an avid advocate of 'green living' and dabbles in some sitar-playing as well, albeit as an amateur.

Hi Renuka
It would be interesting to hear from you what you think children can learn from travel. You mention that travelling has taught you some important lessons, can we teach our children anything through travelling? For my part, I think the biggest thing that travelling teaches children is to, as you rightly mention, accept other cultures and lifestyles as equally valid and important as our own and to open their minds to differences. It does not even have to be a foreign country – just going to a different state within India can help break stereotypes and teach children to appreciate and celebrate differences.
