I have never been able to understand people who don’t see the point intraveling. The mon reason is that traveling is a waste of time and money. I’ve heard some are 1) scared to travel too far away.

I think traveling is also the best thing you could do if you feel 7)depressed at home, don’t know what to do with your future, your life, yourpartner – anything. Once
you are away, 8) preferably somewhere very new andunknown, you are forced to 9) adapt and meet people. This works especially ifyou travel alone.
