About This Quote
There is a certain magic that comes with travel, a certain sense of adventure that makes life worth living. When you look at the world from a different perspective, take a step outside your comfort zone, and see it from a different, more open-minded point of view, you come away with a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you. You begin to realize how much there is to be discovered in the world, and how many new things there are to experience. This is why people keep going on trips – it’s not just about seeing the places you’ve been to before – it’s about seeing new places and experiencing new things.
