I love this article “6 Travel Truths You’ll Never Escape” By Jennifer Miller. Especially the first Truth of “No matter where you go, there you are.”
She writes:
“Your basic character, your strengths, your flaws, these all go with you, for better or for worse. You cannot escape yourself, no matter how far you walk. To try is folly.”
