I just traveled because I enjoyed it. However, my bad reasons for traveling started to show up when I began writing. When we are traveling all the time, there is no time to sit back, analyze, and take it in. Writing is a chance to do that. So is staying at home or traveling locally. Neither traveling or not traveling is bad. It's what you do with your experiences and what you learn from both that can make a huge impact on the rest of your life.

Great list. Definitely working on using travel to overcome fear, it may be highly selfish to want to better myself, but when I do I am a nicer person to be around for others. Ok, off to stuff myself into a flying aluminum tube. Thanks for the inclusion. Great list.

I will have to check his stuff out. At times I do struggle with being more "unselfish" when I travel but I admit that travel has really opened my eyes. For that, I am thankful. This post was definitely an introspective and analytical approach to travel. In the end, I think travel is meant to change us and teach us about other people. Those are the lessons I hope to take with me, carry forward, and share with those closest to me. Thanks for your thoughts Jenna. I will have to check his stuff out.

You made some good points with your reasons we travel -- I liked that you included both the good and the bad. And I also liked the "My reasons and why this matters" conclusion at the end. You've definitely got me thinking! Thanks for the mention of my guest post, too! So glad people liked it. I really enjoyed this post!

I constantly struggle with this because I naturally love to travel and always have but know that there are more important things in my life and the world that need tending to. One person whose journey has inspired me is Raam Dev. I don't think he will ever travel just for the sake of traveling again (and he really just started traveling recently). If you haven't, check out his site for some serious introspection and look at why he travels and what he gets out of it. Good question.
