Aristotle started to travel and learn along the way as early as he was 11 years old, and thus he learned a lot about the world that books couldn’t teach him. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart travelled across the Europe with his father and sister whenhe was just 6 years old, starting a ten years long performance tour.Rousseau, who was an influential philosopher during theFrench Revolution < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Revolution>, lost his mother when he was just child and never went to school, however, he travelled across Switzerland and other places in France when he was little, and made the acquaintance with Diderot, Voltaire and Condillac.At the age of 3, former U.S.President FranklinRoosevelt travelled to Europe and at 5, he went to see then PresidentCleveland at the White House.John Pierpont Morgan, a Wall Street legend,travelled to many places in Europe and America since he was a teenager.
