Traveling don't you hate it ?
The rush and stress of not being late, is my bag too heavy, endless queuing, stinking unhygienic toilets, the close proximity to people you are relieved normally to walk straight by, terrible tasteless unhealthy profiteering food, constant noise and disturbance, cramped space, arrogant over zealous jobs worth staff, over priced drinks that are never chilled enough, hassle from the beginning to the end. Dirty seats, customs and immigration, security checks, people banging into your seat, kids waking you up, aircraft too cold, more queuing, people leaning on your seat, catching colds and viruses from the flight, mosquitos and other biting things and disease, time changes and sleepless nights, delays and more queuing not to mention a number of possible causes of death !
Never mind all that, why do we do it ?
To languish in warm blue oceans and seas, walk upon hot sandy deserted beaches, the beauty of white snow capped mountains, a hot sultry desert, relaxation, fulfilling our dreams, delicate new smells and beautiful new vistas for the mind and soul, you may be off to see a whale or film a lion, just to be pampered, or get off your head, to climb a mountain, to see nature in it's true form, no cooking or chores, for peace and change from your monotony, to invigorate our mind, body and soul, to have fun and party, eat great food, see friends and family, make love, explore the world, sail the 7 oceans, to do something extraordinary who knows there are a million reasons.
When you write them down the travelling doesn't seem quite so bad !
