People who speak of travel as if they are above it fail to grasp its power to revive souls that have long felt trapped - to the point that they no longer remember what freedom feels like.
For some of us, yes this is what travel brings. I’d never thought of it in those terms, and you’ve used feminine rather than the masculine language I’d use to describe the effect, yet I could still relate.
I’m not sure it applies to the majority of travellers though. The ones I’ve been on tour groups with who would rather find a McDonald’s to dine in rather than experience the local cuisine. Perhaps they get a similar thing too from travel, but to a lesser degree.

This is why 15 minute cities are the worst idea ever
