You are right @eladnan, travel has an allure around it that is difficult to demystify. And to be honest I like it just like that.
I have had the opportunity to travel to destinations I had only read about or watched on TV but once I was there in person and began engaging all my five senses and truly experienced the local people, their culture, cuisine, dances and probably wildlife in their natural habitat, it's insanely magical! And yes, the stories are a lifetime treasure!
