"I wish travel in the widespread recommendation sense was understood and in a wider or more metaphorical sense. Try out new things. Different ways of living. Associating with different socioeconomic classes. Different kinds of works. Different faiths. Different politics. Different ways of providing for yourself. Testing boundaries."
"I think travel often turns into an exercise of buying an airline ticket to some other country only to do more of the middle class activities one is already familiar with from one's home country---worse if one is only doing leisure activities, which is like 10% of the native experience. The only difference between that and staying at home is that one's first language becomes everybody else's second language."
