Why do people travel?

There are as many reasons why people travel as their are varied and unique people in this world.  For some, there is an internal pull to seek out new people, places, culture and food.  Some wish to get a better understanding of the world around them.  For others, travel is a way to relax, unwind and let go of the stresses of everyday life.  And still others travel just as a means to get them from place to place.

But travel is not, or at the very least, should not be solely about the destination.  This world is wide and vast, but in travel our horizons and consciousness broaden.  We begin to see the world as as our home and come to understand that people are more similar than different.  We come to accept, appreciate, and embrace the nuances of the differences as special, revered even.  For it is in those differences that we find the spice of life.
