First of all I would like to give a definition of «Exchange».

It’s a continuous movement or circulation, including all type of exchanges : people, trade or media.

A society can be approached from the point of view of its cohesion and openness, which raises questions about its place in the world.

The geography of commercial channels and networks of influence, but also the discovery and conquest of new land constitute new cultural areas which often transcend the borders of a States.

The border which limit two spaces will sometimes seen as a protection against the other or otherwise the opening to a larger space.

The space can evolve and take different forms.

One of the most sacred places in all of the Buddhist religion is Bodhgaya.

Indeed, It was at this location 2,500 years ago that a young Prince Siddhartha sat under a fig tree, meditated and found enlightenment, thus becoming the Buddha.

Nowadays, in this little town everybodoy, whatever his or here culture can find a warm welcome.

This point is very important, because the buddhism is so much more than a simple religion : it is a whole culture, philosophy, way of life, that is based on acceptation and respect of each life being.

The mainstay of Buddhism is prusuit of the truth, it suggests to try meditate and think about life etc..

So when visitors come at Bodhgaya they can encounter community of buddhists monks and exchange with them and share their stories and experiences.

These are their simplicity and their authenticity wich are rewarding : they might bring you a new vision of life, that you were not expect.

In many ways, travel broadens the mind, and allows you to find something new.

According to me, travellers hobnob with a lot of people who belong to different cultures, who have a different way of living, which show them how many worlds are coexisting.

Otherwise, travel is a way to challenge yourself because you have the time that you don't have in your usual dailylife, to think.

It is an opportunity to know yourself better, be more tolerante, and release yourself from society's hold.

This is the reason why differences that you encounter when you travel are rewarding : they lead you to reconsider the wholde world.
