But on a 'seriouser' note.. don't listen to people who tell you if you haven't worked your ass off on a rye field on the Yangcy for 10 years you know shit about traveling.
I mean those who wrote most of the stuff above.Just go if you've got the itch. For me, even a weekend in a touristic European capital is always an inspiration and I come back loaded with fresh energy. New food, new tastes, new wine, new accents, new visual stimuli. For instance, every country has a different typographic style that you can only get a handle on if you walk its streets. You won't get it browsing flickr. Then I always bring a kilo of leaflets, folders and even newspapers - they're usually an inspiration.
Every landmark looks very different in reality than what I had imagined from pictures and films - be it TransAmerica pyramid, Le Louvre or Lisbon funiculars.If you want to and you can properly travel for long times instead of just visiting it's a bonus, but don't let that be an excuse to sit on your arse.
Also, if you found women in Derby that arousing.. boy, you need to travel asap.

I think the only thing which I want to see, after giving this some thought, is this. Those funny wee monkeys that bathe in the hot pools in Japan or wherever it is, I think this is what I want to see most in this world.
- I'm going to email Japan the now and see if they are up for letting me look at their monkeys for a while.chossy

"You lean from the window, your last pipe reeking whitely into the darkness, your body full of delicious pains, your mind enthroned in the seventh circle of content; when suddenly the mood changes, the weather-cock goes about, and you ask yourself one question more: whether, for the interval, you have been the wisest philosopher or the most egregious of donkeys? Human experience is not yet able to reply; but at least you have had a fine moment, and looked down upon all the kingdoms of the earth. And whether it was wise or foolish, to-morrow's travel will carry you, body and mind, into some different parish of the infinite."
- Robert Louis Stevenson (Walking Tours)
