It's like that 80's phrase. "Wherever you go... There you are". You can't escape, (If travel is some means of doing so) your hang-up's and personal foibles.

But I like Mark Twins quote on travel.

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."
