I also think how you travel changes this a lot. When I hear people talk about how they've traveled the world it sounds impressive, but you drill down and all they've done is sit on planes and essentially teleport to different places.

Travel long journeys by car, or even better bicycle or by foot, and it's a whole lot more fulfilling. You see and experience things so differently because you're actually putting the work into travel.

Your method of moving becomes productive, engaging, problem solving. You're using your body and mind.

Flying isn't so much travel, as it it continuous arrival.
