We recently attended a Travel & Adventure Show and came away energized and smarter about why we like to travel, or visit different places. Yes, it's about the different places (sights, sounds, smells, languages, and customs), but, importantly, it is about fueling our emotional health! Never thought about it that way, but recognize it is true.
This is what Samantha Brown spoke about in her presentation (See Samantha Brown's "Passport" series on the Travel Channel).
It's an investment in our well-being. We gain perspective about our lives. Travel can help us relax and be 'in the moment.' In Europe, the architecture and museums tend to be the defining destinations. In Latin America, it's not the architecture and museums, but the life and culture. Visiting peoples and places help us gain perspective about our own living and appreciation for the diversity of the world. It is energizing. Travel raises expectations. We observe and we compare and we marvel. We live!

Life is simple; Living is complex. How we perceive life and living is such a personal thing that everyone can have a different perspective on the same situation. I look forward to your distinctive thoughts.
