It's great for status signalling. Other people are always impressed when I show them my checklist of countries I've been to.

Of course not, friend. It's the American Dream! Travel the world! Go to Disneyland, take a cruise!
And make sure you take on a lot of debt to do it ;)

>>80788794

Yes "traveling" for fucking faggots. Find a few places you want to go. Go there a few times. Enjoy it and don't take fucking photos to put on social media.
Travelling is too broad a topic to properly answer your question.
I definitely think the cliché of travel making you a wiser person is wrong.
I think you can learn from any situation if you have an open mind.
Travel is just one o many ways to become more aware of your surroundings.

>Understand the place you live in by leaving.
How?

With ''the place you live in'' I meant Earth. But, I am sure travelling outside your nation (or even within it) can help you understand your own people better, as you learn the similarities and differences they both have.
I hate every country outside here and Australia, so yes. Traveling to worse countries is what hipsters do.
>he hasn't gone on a soul searching solo sojourn through Europe
It was an incredible experience. All the characters I met, all the stories I witnessed. I went traveling to become enriched by other cultures. Instead, I found myself.
