Gonna say it is the Journey not the destination.

The journey itself is once in a lifetime opportunity to travel though many lands, cultures, languages. It had its high and lows, it was tiresome, but rewarding.

But modern travel has focused on profitability that it only has lows and it is generally a bad experience overall unless you are very rich.

    100% travel has been so stripped of wonder and adventure. I loathe "destination resorts" where you take a plane to chill in an hotel with a pool and buffet, which is identical to the thousands of destination resorts all over the world. a vacation in a Thailand resort is practically the same as a vacation in a Mexican resort.

    leaving the traveler with zero personal growth
