Sentiment: POSITIVE
Travel can also be the spirit of adventure somewhat tamed, for those who desire to do something they are a bit afraid of.
The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.
The two impulses in travel are to get away from home, and the other is to pursue something - a landscape, people, an exotic place. Certainly finding a place that you like or discovering something unusual is a very sustaining thing in travel.
Traveling is one of few zones of experience where you are not directly plugged into the world around you. You're not part of the society you're passing through.

To travel is to take a journey into yourself.
