What has made me hate the idea of "travel" or that you have to have traveled somewhere is that text books (especially second language ones) always have some sort of activity where you're required to talk about it. Most of us, having been born to working class families, have never traveled anywhere beyond surrounding states, let alone to another country.
Maybe if your life is really fucked or something really depressing happened to you recently, travel could help. That is, if you have the means to do it.
