Benefit - you will be amazed and inspired with the people, culture and history of a foreign place
Challenge - difficult to communicate
Pro tip. Whenever I travel in a foreign country, I try to study basic words and phrases, and numbers 1-10 :D

The biggest benefit is how humbling it is. Also as others mentioned, I agree, learning new languages, cultures, traditions etc is so enriching.
Traveling to a country where you don't speak the language can be like solving a complex coding bug; challenging yet rewarding when you finally crack it! Plus, it's a great excuse to perfect your charades skills and learn to communicate like a true global hacker!
