Travel fever
Why do people leave their homes and go to the other end of the planet? These days being a traveler makes you super popular and cool. People makes money by just traveling and showing all world the “better way of living”.
Expanding your outlook and learn something new
Exploring other cultures helps open your mind. You realize that there are other ways of living your life.
Meeting people from other countries and cities can show you that there is another view on things and
it's not the same as yours. Well, you can say that it is enough to find any tourist and just talk with him
about his home and culture. But it's not the same. You can't imagine how different life is in a different
place until you visit that place. Experiencing new, unfamiliar things and living with new knowledge and skills can teach you more than any book or story. Starting with history,
geography or sociology and ending with languages, cuisine, aspects of different cultures or even deep
dive in spiritual and religious life.
It is quite possible that you will find something in yourself, understand what kind of person you are. Some people really think that
they can run away from their problems or responsibilities by traveling as far as it possible.

Having an adventure or challenging yourself
Conquering a new territory is exhilarating. Going off the bitten track, traveling with a backpack,
surviving in a difficult conditions. Without all modern amenities it could be challenging. No phone,
no cosy bed or even normal food and obviously no unlimited bank account. Quite exciting but not for
those who are too nerves about what could happen the other day. But for others it's like jumping with a parachute.
You will discover how resourceful you are when you are exposed to new places, people and
experiences. And if your trip ends successfully you can feel proud of yourself, it will bring you joy and energy for future life challenges, build your confidence. Also
life in difficult conditions can teach you to appreciate what you have.

Escaping
Loss of a loved one or relatives, bad breakups, a depressing job or everyday routing. Desire to get
away from it all, hiding your feelings somewhere far into the depth of the soul. Stepping away from
your problems can help you look at it from a different angel. So travelling has the power of healing not only escaping. You return home more at peace with yourself and your
problems.

There one way to travel without leaving even my home :) it's called google maps in satellite mode and google street view :) and even not need to by expensive tickets :)
I want to travel to the moon and maybe mars but with possibility to return back because I think that I will be miss by the earth :)
I’m not pretty sure but nowadays we hear more and more about virtual travels so maybe this is (or will be in near future) good alternative allowing us to ‘travel’ without leaving our chair but to be honest… I think that nothing can replace real travel with lot of adventures.
Maybe I will travel to another planet but… who knows? 😉
Do you think that there is another better way of exploring the world without leaving your home town? I heard that Google street were not so bad 😄 Honestly, no augmented/virtual reality, Google street, etc is not able to replace all those feelings that you experience during the sightseeing in particular country. They are only able to give you a general idea what kind of place it is. Your impression is actually a combination of lots of factors, every single breath you take, every single move you make it all make an overall impression. Would I go to another planet? It’s really complicated question but it depends on the landmarks. If we are talking about an expedition to a real planet that rather no than yes. I don’t like exploring the ruins(except the Pompeii) where everything is literally dead. Maybe it’s because I am scared of such horror and lifeless places
Yes, I do like travelling in general. If I have a possibility to choose the destination and I can plan my trip on my own, it's great. I love to pretend that I'm not the tourist but a local man - I'm walking on the streets, drinking coffe, visiting local shops...
I hate visiting those places which are "mandatory" for tourist, because there extremally crowdy there, usually You have to wait in the queue and all "climate" is gone.
2. Do you think that there is another better way of exploring the world without leaving your home town?
No - You can watch some documentary series or read articles, but it will always be author's point of view, and his/her perception.
3. Would you consider travelling to another planet someday?
Yes, but I don't know if I will live long enough to have such possibility
There are a lot of methods to see every place around the world but, to be honest, it’s a way different feeling when you stand in front of outstanding monument, walk around beautiful park or do any other activity, then sitting in front of the screen and scroll down photos. I’m sure then almost everyone agree with me that when you experience something it will stay in your memory for long time and when you see the same thing on the computer or photos, it will make you smile and you will forget about it very quickly.
I love travelling, but I’m not sure if I would like to travel to another planet. I can guess that in the future it will become more viable and popular, then I will consider it for sure.
I love traveling and would like my work to be based on trips. I like traveling alone or in company, I feel free and happy then.
Everyone has their own opinion on this subject which strictly depends on what we expect from departure, sightseeing, convenient, low prices or something else. It's difficult to say anything about it.
I don't know, it's still an abstract concept for me, for now I prefer to focus on discovering my planet.

I know another way of exploring the world without leaving home town but it’s worse then common one. It’s watching video on YouTube or on something similar to YouTube. But watching video will not give those emotions that you get when visiting another country.
Yes, if travelling to another planet will be fast and there will be ways to back to Earth.
Yes, of course, I like trips to new places. I think traveling is a very good way of self-development and discovery of a new world for yourself.
2. Do you think that there is another better way of exploring the world without leaving your home town?
I think not, you need to go to the places that you want to explore yourself. This is the best practice, I think so.
3. Would you consider travelling to another planet someday?
I would not mind. If I have opportunities, I will definitely take advantage of it.
The best way of exploring world without leveling home is google earth mouse and vr headset ;P.
Unfortunately I think it would be one way ticket so I wouldn’t go. If it would be possible to get back i would consider it.
I don't. I like activities that are connected to the goal of that travel but not the process itself.
2. Do you think that there is another better way of exploring the world without leaving your home town?
Books, books, books, films, series, just anything. Art, food, games. All you can have is part of the world or creation of its inhabitants. A book is an outcome of authors culture. And etc.
3. Would you consider travelling to another planet someday?
I would LOVE to. Even die on another planet. At least, not during the landing. ;)
Yes, I like to travel. Travelling makes me free and I really love the feeling of being stranger in the city or place. During my travels I often like to cut off myself from duties which I have and focus on my trip and enjoying it to the fullest.
2. Do you think that there is another better way of exploring the world without leaving your home town?
No, I think the best way to explore is to experience. It is impossible to really explore the world by staying in your pyjama in front of tv. By watching or reading about a world you can gain knowledge about it but you won' t gain experience.
3. Would you consider travelling to another planet someday?
It depends what would be on this planet. I think generally I would like to travel to another planet to see world from a different perspective.
No, I think that the best way to discover the world is to leave your city.
Yes, I would like to go to Mars in the future.
I love it and I wish I had a job connected with that. I would like to try being 'digital nomad' some day.
2. Do you think that there is another better way of exploring the world without leaving your home town?
Nope. There is no better way of doing that. Maybe only World Of Warcraft
3. Would you consider travelling to another planet someday?
Yeah, whenever it is possible. I just need to pack my stuff and I'm ready
I think that exploring the world involves leaving your home town, so there is no other option to do so.
Why not! But I am afraid that it's not gonna happen during our lifetimes. It is sad, that we are stuck on Earth and won't explore other planets, on the other hand it is still so much to see here.
I think not. There are of course games that simulate trips in other countries, but the real experience will be when you explore these places yourself.
That's how I would like to go, recommend it to a planete where no one was. Discover unknown things
2. It is good to be conscious that we should also explore our own home town because when we live in the interesting city there are always places where we have never been and which are worth to check. But in fact I think that the best way to exploring world is simply traveling around. ;)
3. Maybe it will be possible during my life but I think that I won't be able to go because it will be too expensive.
Maybe there is another way to see another country or place without leaving your home town, for example watch discovery channel videos or reed some staff about another country in book.
Yess I want to go to another planet, because this is next level of travelling. Just feel different gravity field, and different view/moons/suns.
Sometimes I like to see some new place, but that's rarely a city. I'd rather go explore some wilderness area. But I'm also not a kind of person to enjoy camping. So for me, all the travels should rather be comfortable and not very long.
What I wonder sometimes is why people put so much emphasis on travel. Meeting new people, finding new places, seeing other cultures. I don't really miss it. I tried it, it wasn't fun, I don't really want to try again.
I really like my home, my city, my friends - all the things familiar to me. If I want to see some other side of the world, I can do it from home - watching it on a TV screen is often enough. And visiting other planets? No way, not really interested. Good luck to you on your travels, I'd rather stay home.
- "National Geographic Channel", show us many different cultures around the world are exposed in detail, but I like to see the world with my own eyes.
- Yes, but just in my imagination, I didn't think about in a real way.
I like a lot. Cause it's interesting to see world around you with all it imperfectness and natural beauty. Also it's good to see that people in other country are different and the same simultaneously. I think that people become more open and kind when they travel, because when you sit your homeland, then you start to think that foreigners are different and become more antisocial and less friendlier.
2. Do you think that there is another better way of exploring the world without leaving your home town?
I think there no other way than get out from your home and start to explore.
3. Would you consider travelling to another planet someday?
I hope so, but I think I will be glad to return, and in near future it seems impossible, because all planed missions are "one-way".
To explore the world we should, well, explore. We should take the backpack and go to our adventures. There’s no other ways. Watching travelers instragrams or YouTube channels is not exploring.
I would like to travel to another planet, but only if I know that I will got back to my planet. Staying forever at another planet is definitely not for me.
No, I think that there isn't better way of exploring the world than 'normal' travelling. At the other hand, we have one good website for that - Google Maps. I don't have information about which countries were scanned but when you are watching Poland you can throw figure on street and drive as Google Car. It's very funny and interesting.
I would consider travelling to another planet only when I will visit every country on the earth!
In my opinion, traveling without leaving your town can't be called traveling. The journey takes some time and preparation. It can also be spontaneous if only with a good attitude.
We live in such times that the colonization of Mars is only a matter of years. It will once be popular enough that flights to Mars will take place several times a year. I hope that I will be able to stand on a different planet one day.
There is a social pressure to say you like traveling. It is a lot like music. No one asks "do you like music?" They assume you do and ask instead "what kind of music do you like?" But it is obvious from how often or seldom they listen to music if they like it or not.
I think travel is the same. People feel the need to say they like if while a huge portion of the population, my bro included, don't. My friends who don't travel and are more... Strong willed... Defend their anti travel stance and I find it fascinating to be honest. Not everyone wants to step into the wild, and that's okay.
