I agree with you. Although we go to the same place ( a repeat visit) we always everything new, especially when we are involved in many activities. But it depend on us whether we search for it or not.

I’d like to point out that this guide is well-written and it actually has substance to it. My compliments to the author. I’d like to comment though that even though you may have tried the experience, you’ll go back? Why? Because a typical vacation would last around a month or so, so that’s not enough to satiate human curiosity about an area.

We are currently trying to figure out our next adventure. We’re deciding between Costa Rica, Argentina, Morocco, and New Zealand. The more exotic and new, the better!

I agree with IanMack, you can apply these things to everyday life. It is really important to try to learn as many things as possible and always try to increase your experiences in life, traveling abroad or just around your hometown, even if it is to just stop and have a friendly conversation with someone!

hi Livia, thanks for your comment. I agree, #1 and #6 are probably the most compelling reasons most people travel. It’s interesting to note though, that all of these points can be applied to “living” in general — it’s what makes any day memorable.

Hmm I’ve never really put much thought into analysising travelling like this, I thought it just went without saying.

Well, I’d say I embrace them all. But I think that n 1 and n 6 are the ones that summarize the whole list. You always learn something new while traveling and sometimes you do it because you have met someone special who introduced you to a different world. What’s your take?
