Yes, I was talking with a very close friend about this two days ago.

She recently went to South America and we were trying to pin-point what makes traveling such an opening experience. People say "you should travel", but really, for what reason?

I don't know if we came to a definitive answer, but "new eyes." was definitely part of it.

It's interesting that mk said "travel unlocks the present", because to me traveling means putting the present on hold, so that you can reflect and learn.

In terms of new eyes, the trip that I took last year was probably the best thing that's ever happened to me.
