Basic assumption gained from people downright denying the good side of travelling tbf.
Even I as a strong supporter of the statement only mentioned it does help in soft skills, character building and such, not the direct monetary effects.
For interviews, it's all about the wow factor and the display of a person's character and leadership and skills.
While applying for top jobs or decent companies(MNCs for me), applicants are usually sharing a similar set of skills and abilities. It's the individual's characteristics that will make the difference here and I would just say the exposure gained from travelling definitely helps.
For business opportunities, it's more apparent. Seeing something that we don't have here in overseas and just bring it here? Let it be goods, concepts, or just an idea or MLM. Definitely not fresh news.
Networking, well, of course, a more knowledgeable person will be more popular, have more kinds of stuff to talk and you know, more chances for everything if the person can capitalise on it.
And not only sales could be gained, investment ideas, and most importantly, relationships that makes networking so important.
This aspect shines so much in the job listed in my signature.
Truth to be told the free trips were really meh (only got those that went to and go to China lmao), and even for those to Europe and other decent places, those were no different than following traditional travel group
Only good for marketing and let the company and agent feel good and free
I have travelled all over Europa and other decent places with the way I want (weeks long, full immersion on culture and conventional life) with my money mainly (some earned from doing insurance business)
And you're wrong, most people actually do read the policies, just not detailed enough to go through like 20-30 pages of them
It's not a direct effect like I have said, it's subtle, it's soft skills, it's all about character building
Really sound financial view and advice over there!
Hey, I wrote a part of what I want to express in the top part of this reply. Please give my reply to @tippman a read first yeah
Remember my sixth point listed on what can be seen from travelling?
Luxuries are not important. Buy stuffs which are essentials. But don't cheap out.
Like Ikea. Like decent clothes from Uniqlo. Like a good leather bag that lasts forever with no brand. Discounted.
Small stuffs like this lead me to think about cutting commitments in long run. It's all subtle changes.
My goal is not to retire early but build up a business that can sustain itself by the time I need free time to spend with my family (I'm actually below thirties
, have inherited properties from my parents' legacies but for my goal, I'm still a decade away from making my business into what I want it to be)
IDM working for 9-5 as long as not whole day like the bulk of business owners in Malaysia, you know, like those start-ups
Books and people will tell you travelling is a waste of money and I do agree that travelling at old age will be truly waste of money (it's a luxury by the very definition)
Travelling when one is still building or working on something, however, will give the person a boost, however light it is.
Some trips are just fun, but some trips are truly soul-searching and open one's eyes to perceive stuff differently. And I think these characteristics are what make top talents and entrepreneurs stand out among normal people, and lead to big bucks (if that's the goal).
All I say is, in one's capacity, go travel as much as one can!
Ain't persuading you people to travel like rock stars, and ofc careful planning is required.
You first quoted travelling make you accumulate wealth/income and when you are asked to quantified then suddenly travelling improved soft skills. Can you point out to me which statement that I said travelling is not good? Even I as a strong supporter of the statement only mentioned it does help in soft skills, character building and such, not the direct monetary effects.

I would assume you can't point out which statement I have said that travelling is not good, thus, how do you form your basic assumptions? By travelling to a place for a weeks long, is sufficient enough to feel the culture? you must be kidding right?
Against when I ask you to quantify your statement you are unable to quantify.
