Is it the thrill of being away from ‘home’, of discovering new places and seeing how other people live? Is it to experience, firsthand, the joys of visiting an amazing ancient destination? Or maybe it’s that adventure that you’ve always wanted to have?</p> <p><img src="https://cs7051.userapi.com/c636828/v636828418/49d9a/xmgnDgHehU4.jpg" width="1280" height="650"/></p> <p><br> <img src="https://cs7051.userapi.com/c636828/v636828418/49d75/zpKzKytONoI.jpg" width="807" height="605"/></p> <p>We are fortunate to be living in a time like no other in human history. Travel has become so easy <br> </p> <p>- You went to Venice last summer? Great, we were there too!<br> </p> <p>That fantastic noodle place you discovered last night in Hongkong? It was reviewed by the New York Times last month.<br> </p> <p>The palace of Knossos in Crete? Get in line along with the million other visitors the palace receives every year!</p> <p><img src="https://cs7051.userapi.com/c636828/v636828418/49d7e/0nMPbvMM2DU.jpg" width="1280" height="960"/><br> </p> <p>There’s no denying that the world is a small place these days, and it’s pretty easy for anyone to get from one end of the earth to another. Come to think of it, nothing is really ‘exotic’ anymore, either: Google Earth can bring the sights from inside Colosseum and the Acropolis into the living room of a virtual traveller anywhere in the world.<br> </p> <p>So we know we no longer have to leave the comforts of home to see the beaches of Normandy, or the ruins of Angkor Wat, so why do we still travel?<br> </p> <p>Travel broadens the mind, they used to say. Now that sensory-overload mechanism called the internet ensures that we have plenty of other ways of broadening our twenty-first century minds, thank you very much.</p> <p><img src="https://cs7051.userapi.com/c636828/v636828418/49da4/6Bj_bb3vcUc.jpg" width="960" height="1280"/></p> <p><br> <img src="https://cs7051.userapi.com/c636828/v636828418/49d91/nP8k4DAyMo4.jpg" width="2560" height="1896"/></p> <p>But more than ever, we all need to pack our bags and just go off somewhere from time to time. It invariably involves leaving behind the the usual, the ordinary, the quotidian.<br> </p> <p>And that includes that laptop and its screen on which, if you wish, the world can come to you. For most of us, every journey we make can and should be one of self-discovery, of getting us back in touch with our overloaded senses and selves.</p> <p><img src="https://cs7051.userapi.com/c636828/v636828418/49d87/W-7Q4PJpPr8.jpg" width="1280" height="960"/><br> </p> <p>We need to get out there and explore that unfamiliar road, because travel can do for us what all that information we have access to can never do:<br> </p> <p>It can tell us about ourselves.</p> <p><img src="https://pp.userapi.com/c638923/v638923269/1d652/8ATO-GCrst8.jpg" width="865" height="960"/></p> <p>And - we might find we like that person we learn about! </p> </html>
