This article recounts a personal experience visiting the Parkwood Estate in Oshawa, Ontario, highlighting its historical significance and the transformative power of travel.
Globe trotters or seasoned travelers have often said that traveling stimulates the brain by introducing people to new experiences, environments, and challenges. We saw this gospel truth during the nearly three months we were off the computer keyboards rejigging opinion pieces or chasing the latest in world news developments.There is an apothegm that the constant stream of new stimuli can spark creativity and can allow the traveler to immerse himself in new cultures.
One travel agent, echoing the experiences of travelers, said the tourist or voyager exposes himself to different ways of life, customs, and traditions, the exposure broadening perspectives and fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of the diversity in the world. «We learn to see the world through different lenses, which enhances our empathy and cultural intelligence,» one said, quoting a sightseer. Journeyers say traveling stimulates the brain by introducing wanderers or tourists to new experiences, environments, and challenges. Others say the experiences and memories we gain from traveling stay with us for a lifetime. And the memories become a part of our personal story, contributing to our sense of self and providing a source of joy and nostalgia. Such experiences and memories run parallel to our experience very recently when our children, acting as tourist guides and event annotators brought us to the Parkwood Estate in the heart of Oshawa in Ontario, Canada. As we drove past the gate of the nearly five-hectare Parkwood National Historic Site, declared by the Canada federal government as such in 1989, our daughter Hermione, a family medicine practitioner in her area, told us we were not just entering a grand estate, but a portal into the captivating history of Oshawa, Ontario
