Where would you travel if you could go anywhere?
Imagine money and logistics are no problem. Let your thoughts go as you envision your dream vacation. Would you go exploring museums, shopping in fancy boutiques, climb a mountain, lay on a white sand beach and swim in crystal clear water, discover exotic animals or take a luxury cruise around the World.
A change of location can feed both body and mind. There is so much to see and learn around the globe. The phrase “The World is a book and those who don’t travel read only one page”, which is attributed to Saint Augustine, is an interesting way of making an analogy.
One page of a book will only give you so much information. You will never know about what happens in the next chapter, much less at the end of the book. That is the fate of those who stay in one place, and never visit other places.The flip side of that is the person who travels afar, and reads from the pages of each place that they visit. In this manner, they end up reading the whole book, page by page. And like a good mystery, reading a later chapter may just explain something read in an earlier chapter. If you just visit nearby communities with the exact same culture, you’re going to read the same page again that you have previously been reading. For me, the quote is urging us to learn more about each-other, that we may better understand the whole of the book which is the world.

The only question becomes … where to go?
