On a resume, visits to less-traveled places imply independence, confidence, and energy. People temporarily overwhelmed by a lost job, a failed relationship, or the daily treadmill, may travel in search of breathing room. Others, looking ahead to career and family, feel it might be now or never for the big overseas experience. More than a few people hit the road with romance on their minds. They've heard about the allure of men or women in foreign lands and decide to see for themselves.
Some relationships pass with the sunset, some are vivid for years, and a few last a lifetime.
After the daily exercise and mental stimulation experienced on the road, you return full of energy and plans, eager to get into action. The longest-lasting travel memories are of people. As we travel, we trade life stories, speak our minds, break free from familiar roles. Staying in touch with friends made on the road, local people as well as other travelers, is one of life's pleasures. Travel stimulates many emotions, mostly positive.
