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.
