“It whirls you around, turns you upside down and stands everything you took for granted on its head.”

The answer: TRAVEL!
Now be honest, who guessed that?
“We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next, to find ourselves. We travel to open our hearts and eyes and learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate. We travel to bring what little we can, in our ignorance and knowledge, to those parts of the globe whose riches are differently dispersed. And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again — to slow time down and get taken in, and fall in love once more.”
Lovely description of why we travel by Pico Lyer posted on Salon.com. Read the full piece here. A must-read for any travel enthusiast!
“Travel in that sense guides us toward a better balance of wisdom and compassion – of seeing the world clearly, and yet feeling it truly. For seeing without feeling can obviously be uncaring; while feeling without seeing can be blind.” (Also by Pico Lyer)
