Talk:Travelling Empowerment/@comment-24729606-20190324223511

Firstly I would just like to point out that the greatest benefit of travel (even within ones own neighborhood or street) is merely physical (although neither do I underestimate the benefits of exercise and fresh air on oneself) but mental and psychological. indeed even a walk in a small local woods or park can have beneficial effects. besides residing only within ones own space and one wherein one has control over a greater share than usual of its activities is little more than stagnating and that is rarely if ever beneficial. on the other hand getting out and being surrounded by nature and all its boundless beauty, serenity, and wonder either in ones own company or that of others is a chance to experience things one could not wrapped up in ones own mind, thoughts, and opinions (however will or ill informed those opinions might or might not be). besides outside there is always the chance for a chance encounter that while it might prove of little consequence (ie the people one meets waiting for an airplane) could also be the seed of a relationship that could be life altering (not necessarily a romantic relationship but one that nonetheless changes ones life over time) and while such moments might be initially unwelcome or unlooked for they are usually worthwhile.
