The most popular conception is that travel enriches the soul. It is because the more we explore nature - different places, people, culture, and tradition, the more our vision can be widened. We can find out how even contrasting lifestyles or ideologies can be equally right and how there are endless possibilities in the world. Nature, in no two places on this planet, is exactly the same, and that's where the beauty of the flora and fauna lies. With a wider view, more of a bird's eye view of the world, we can understand how nature, in its completely unique and different qualities, still coexist in harmony without losing their elements. A more spiritual reason to travel would be to explore ourselves and people, and places. We often connect to a place or person more than others in strange ways. And while we travel, we find out our preferences a bit more specifically. While the most popular choices lie between seas and mountains, there is perhaps this one place you feel connected to, in ways and reasons unidentified. We cannot explain why, but our heart and mind have these few places with their culture, flavour, view and experience imprinted on our mind forever, even attracting us back to them once in a while. These certain places with their major elements (i.e. wind, water, earth, fire) can act as the catalyst to grow a wider perspective for our mind and soul or act as an inspiration for our art. We may discover stories otherwise unknown to us, or flavours otherwise untasted. Hence, we often discover our 'It' place for life.
