Traveling to new places opens our minds, broadens our perspectives, and reminds us of the vastness of the world.

I see that it is by no means useless to travel, if a man wants to see something new.

One of the real benefits of any travel is gaining some perspective. You see things from different points of view. That came home to me in a variety of ways: politically, economically, seeing what was going on in other states.

Travel is a fantastic self-development tool, because it extricates you from the values of your
culture and shows you that another society can live with entirely different values and still function and
not hate themselves.

Travel makes the world look new, and when the world looks new, our brains work harder.

Travelling is fun because you never know what could happen!

This is why journeys are useful, they enlarge the space that is around us.

To travel is to live.

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilization, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.

To travel? In order to travel it's enough to be. [...] Why travel? In Madrid, in Berlin, in Persia, in China, at the Poles both, where would I be but in myself, and in the sort and kind of my sensations? Life is what we make of it. Travels are travellers. What we see is not what we see but what we are.

The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.

We travel because, no matter how comfortable we are at home, there's a part of us that wants - that needs - to see new vistas, take new tours, obtain new traveler's checks, buy new souvenirs, order new entrees, introduce new bacteria into our intestinal tracts, learn new words for "transfusion," and have all the other travel adventures that make us want to french-kiss our doormats when we finally get home.

I also love travelling. Before the pandemic, I would get a chance, maybe once a year, to visit a place I have never been to. Even my conferences were opportunities to explore, haha.
