Nowadays, the younger generations, in which i'm included, gave to "Travel" a new meaning. It is no longer a representation of economic status in society, it is no longer book an hotel and go to the beach, it is no longer sun and sand. the real "new meaning of travel" goes a little bit further than that. It's all about experience new cultures, learn from it and let it change you.
Until we are around 14 - 16 years old, traveling means nothing to us, we don't really care about the experiences that we are going to find outside the place we are living in, the people we are going to meet, the culture... That is information that we are not ready to receive.
But then, it comes a time in your life that you feel that necessity. You feel that you are bigger than the 4 walls of your room, you feel that you know nothing, but that you are ready to start searching.
As the world and the people grow, to travel is very important, now more than ever, otherwise you are not capable of following them because travel it's a way to grow up
