[QUOTE="Celestial, post: 1090122, member: 10984"] Travel seems to keep coming up here, but I think it's important to specify what travel gives you specifically and that not all travel is equal. Case in point, if you go to France or some other western country and stay at a hotel with beach access, you don't really learn much or become more interesting, since that's what every other American does every Summer. If you instead go running around in Venezuela, take the Trans-Siberian and hang out near Lake Baikal, go on a pyramid tour in Egypt or jungle slashing in Papa New Guinea, now your actually getting somewhere, as you have something other's don't. Thing is, you gotta do it for yourself, and not just to impress other people. If you come back talking about the 500+ photos you took and are on Facebook, that's not saying you were into it. You were focused on showing others what you did rather than doing it for yourself. You do a few interesting trips enough times you'll get some breezy stories and experiences that make you a better and more experienced man, which is itself attractive. [/QUOTE]
