ISABELA, PUERTO RICO (PRWeb) August 6, 2014 – Jerry Gonzalez of Venezolano loves to travel. As a bilingual hotel owner, one could almost say travel is essential to Jerry Gonzalez of Venezolano’s livelihood. Livelihood or not, Jerry Gonzalez of Venezolano sees travel as one of the best – and most enjoyable – ways to connect with cultures. Jerry Gonzalez of Venezolano has recently begun giving presentations on the importance of travel.

Jerry Gonzalez Venezolano began traveling early in his tourist industry career. Jerry Gonzalez of Venezolano believes travel can help cross several barriers that exist in today’s world. For example, Jerry Gonzalez of Venezolano is bilingual. He speaks fluent English and Spanish and encourages people of all ages to take up second languages. Jerry Gonzalez of Venezolano promotes second languages by pointing out the many industries that require them. These include education, sales, healthcare, and the tourism industry.

Jerry Gonzalez of Venezolano has also noticed a need for greater human empathy in his travels. Whether in abundance or poverty, Jerry Gonzalez of Venezolano says, it can be difficult for humans to reach out to each other. However, people who travel come back with a myriad of new experiences and an understanding of how each nation affects other nations. Travelers often return with positive feedback about how another culture does something differently from what is done at home.

Furthermore, Gonzalez believes travel can and does increase confidence. For example, the average college student may be hesitant to leave home. Yet if that student has traveled – either abroad or domestically – he or she is likely to be more independent and feel less intimidated in new situations. Travel can also help those who do not make friends easily, both children and adults. In an unfamiliar setting, people are often forced to communicate to survive, Jerry Gonzalez of Venezolano explains. Yet, survival usually branches out into new friendships.

Jerry Gonzalez Venezolano encourages all people to take at least one major trip during their lifetimes. A “major trip” need not be foreign. Domestic travel often carries its own set of challenges, such as the cross-cultural need to be polite and patient. No matter the destination, travel can result in different perspectives and better-adjusted people.
