To travel or not to travel?

Forum members,

Use to be more of a free spirit, then MI got me in a tailspin for quite some time. The MI still remains there among other things, but perhaps I can start venturing out more. See sunrises in different locales with a great cup of coffee. What say you?

Some of the best experiences for me have been on the road. Education is always happening on the road as well. Go for it .

Travel as much as you can.

I would travel if you could, if life allows or enables you to do so. Experience and enjoy as much as possible.

Odd coreference! You would travel if I could, if life allows or enables me to do so? :-k

Are you sure that you have meant it the way you have written it? :-k

Are you sure you read it with the right intonation? At the first of the sentence, I put myself in his situation and used the ‘I’ in the combination of myself and his self. Stating that he should travel if he can, ‘could’ being the future reference of the ability, seemingly in past reference to something he may have already had the ability to do or the opportunity and that he should take the opportunity if he can (is able) should it come up again. Sometimes, just because you are able to do something, life doesn’t allow you to do so for other reasons and just because you are allowed to do it doesn’t mean you have or recognize the ability to do so, which reinforces the ‘could’ in any reference of the word, past, present or future. Just because he wants to or is able to or is allowed to does not denote that he can do so.

Some people thrive at home.

I think that everybody can thrive at home. I certainly did for quite a long time before I did my traveling. If they cared to step out of their comfort zone, they might find it worth doing. Just the same as those who travel constantly to step out of theirs to see the benefits of having a stationary home.

I think it’s not universal.

A lot of people I know tried to travel, and hated it. I personally can not live in my native country, except by night and in places without people, like the dunes in the winter.

I think it is universal and that they focused on the unpleasant moments of said travel instead of the possible pleasant. I think they might have been spoiled by certain comfort zones they might have embraced too tightly and for fear of moving from those comfort zones discovered more the parts of the experience that were merely distasteful and unpleasant, not bad and definitely not worthy of hate for teaching things necessary to life in general.

Has everyone’s opinion been represented or should I feign that I have not made a decision yet? :-" :mrgreen:

Life IS what happens while making other plans and all plans do fall short in the face of.

Yes, you should travel. it will be good for your mind, depends though.
