Travel stirs up my insides. When I am completely and utterly outside of my element, I find that aspects of my life – my habits and thought patterns, even my conscious and unconscious beliefs - become clear to me in ways that they otherwise would not.--Jennifer Jeffrey

Travel is not just sightseeing - even if you've only been reading my work five minutes you've hopefully gathered that's how I think. Personally I believe that travel is essential for overcoming narrowmindedness, for learning about yourself, for appreciating your home and a million other reasons.--Not a Ballerina

I believe the world would be so much better off if people would get out of their comfort zones and travel more. Even if they don't, I will continue to do it just for myself. Although it seems like it has been aimless, and perhaps it has been without a goal at some points, traveling has always fulfilled my own personal pursuit of purpose. --One Girl, Her Backpack, and a Passion for Travel.

Yes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes. Now, you.
