Why travel?

I have been searching for a long time for a decent argument for traveling, sure you experience different cultures, but I have grown up in a different culture to where i studied and so i feel that i am well adapted to shifting culture and able to handle any challenges that it may bring, and I did that by myself, this will be important later

Travelling alone seems to be a great way to learn more about yourself but after interrogating a friend a little deeper i got to an answer that almost satisfies me, the entire premise of traveling alone is that you are entirely independent and able to deal with anything on your own, you also are able to be comfortable by yourself, which for me at this point in time is not somewhere i want to be, spending time with my own thoughts is a very scary place, and not one i want to dwell in unnecessarily

The other benefit is it forces you to enjoy the little things, the every day things that we take forgranted because we are too busy getting from A to B, in a rush to get to work, in a rush to get home. So to really force yourself to slow down, and enjoy it, for me personally this is a difficult idea as well because the idea of going for a stroll is almost alien, if i leave the house i want to be doing something, i want to achieve something but at the very least i can understand this sentiment

The third thing is to realize that people are people no matter where you go, they all have similar problems and all face the same day to day struggles you and i do, and this goes a long way to opening ones mind and instead of blaming an issue on an entire race out of laziness you maybe take more time to consider what is a resonable solution to the problem, because sure it might be that it is easier to seperate black people from europeans and so it must be their fault anywhere something happens and they are near by right?, well turns out they have the same issues in other african countries that they have in european countries, people are people and they will do the best they can for themselves to improve their circumstances

Do these answers satisfy? They are all good reasons, but what are we here to achieve, endless education possibly? life is long and life is short, where do we decide to settle?
