So I was just talking to my mother and the conversation turned to traveling. My mother who thinks traveling is-in her own words horrendous wanted to know why I had this obession with seeing the world.
I started out sarcastically-"so...whatelse is there do?" that type of thing. She said she would rather stay and work. I told her that working ages you physically while traveling ages you spiritually and when asked she had to admit she would prefer the latter.
But then I got really serious. I told her about my travels, the places I went the people I met the fun I had. It really brought it all back, why I travel. Its not about postcards and suvieniers and being able to say-"oh, I've been there" for me its about people and experience.
So, why do you do it? Have you ever had a conversation like this?
