Imagine your life in a closed house, which might have beautiful gardens, great decorations, large halls, big sized TV sets and even swimming pools.
Now, you will be fond of such a place.
You will enjoy your life there.
Yet, may be after a few days, weeks, or at a max of perhaps a year or two, you will start losing interest and start getting bored. You will long to go to the outside world. You will feel like seeing what is good, and talk to others, see what is happening outside.
Traveling is something that provides fuel to this inbuilt nature of curiosity in us.
It is not as if everyone is equally fond of exploring new things and places.
Some like me are moderately inquisitive in such pursuits.
Some others like some of my friends are much more in the need of such pursuits.
Then, there are adventurists who like to go and ride on their bikes or cars and travel far and wide, some even doing 1000+ Kms on their vehicle (to and fro journey).
Yet whatever be the traveling, one does learns new things. For example, if one drives on a highway, one learns how to tackle buses and trucks. There are some rash drivers, and there are stickler for rules. Then, one can get to see vast lush green fields, which one misses such greenery in the city limits.
It is a different experience altogether.
Then when one reaches another destination, one comes across people living in a different way. Their daily lifestyle, their aims, ambitions, problems are so different.
We learn that the limits that we live within and the arena to which we limit our thoughts to, isn’t something that is universal.
We realize that we need to broaden our thinking and try to reach out to differnt kind of people and not limit ourselves to our comfort zones or our daily grind.

I love to travel, to see a lot of trees, beautiful rivers and seas. Traveling is reinvigorating!
Yes indeed @acelawrites
Our life is quite busy these days. Capitalism / Globalisation / Inflation and so many others economic concepts wants us to work hard and really hard for just to sustain ourselves. As a result, this is how a week is defined for most of us
Monday = Work like an ass
Tuesday = Run like a deer
Wednesday = Stressed like a goat
Thursday = Shout like a dog
Friday = Play like a Monkey (in office)
... As a result ...
Saturday = Sleep like a Tortoise
Sunday = Probably the only day we can live human life.
Due to busy schedule as stated above, we rarely get time these days. Hence, we are more focused on job, work, internal pleasures, sleep etc. We rarely think of moving out. We do not consider the fact that by moving out, we are learning new climates and understanding new cultures. We don't have time for all that.
Yes, we are getting exposed to diseases due to that but our schedule does not approve caring for that. Anyways, a nice post.
I do concur @thinker
Often it is not the tiredness or exhaustion that makes us sick, but monotonous nature and the additional stress that modern work and family lives bring in.
One wonders as to what they can do to combat this.
Often one ends up with irregular and bad diet, over influence of alcohol or other bad habits.
People with problems are sidelined and even ridiculed.
Travel is one thing that enlightens, breaks us away from our known zones and even makes our outlook more positive.
