Visit Your ‘sister City’ for Economical Traveling

What is a ‘sister city’ and how can you travel to one on a budget?

A number of cities all over the globe have adopted a sister city in another part of the world to promote greater understanding, among other things, between the two cities and their nations. The sister city ‘movement’ began at the end of World War II and was instigated by America.

Participating cities aim to develop friendships and foster relationships between their chosen sister cities (some cities have more than one sister) and to encourage peace and understanding between nations. This is done in a number of ways – encouraging business and economic relationships through trade and technology, stimulate cultural and creative networks, develop partnerships between cities and countries and to wage the opportunity for sister city citizens to experience other cultures through travel.

Traveling to your sister city might be something you wish to do and it can be done at relatively low cost if you are healthy to become part of an exchange program. Cultural exchanges between sister cities are generally paid for by your home town. Some cities select students to travel to their sister city for a period of time, (it could be weeks or months) and pay all expenses. If you are a student, investigate what opportunities are acquirable for this type of travel.

Traveling to a sister city is not only for students. Other residents might participate in the program as well. You might be selected as an ambassador of your town to travel to the sister city and take part in projects fostered by the sister cities. You will then likely to be asked to host visitors from the sister city when they travel to your country. If you are healthy to get on one of these exchange programs you can anticipate accommodation and food to be taken care of (you will probably be living with a sister city family) but you might have to get involved in fundraising for your trip.

If you think this sounds like a fun (and cheap) way to travel, visit your town’s web site and find out about their sister city program. You’ll need to become a member and join in the volunteer program to help with fundraising. You could be asked to host visitors from your sister city and you might get the opportunity to travel. Becoming involved in the sister city program means becoming a part of creating community links and learning about other cultures – exactly what traveling is all about. You might even have ideas for your community’s sister city program and how it can further foster its global sisters’ relationships.
