If real, regular, normal, boring life, when you're at home every day, seeing the same people, doing the same things is like sitting at home on the floor surrounded by toys... traveling feels to me like going to Toys R Us with your toy box and getting to trade stuff in and buy new things and explore whole new ideas.
