@theblondeabroad I love going to the movies to kill time/escape rain while travelling. It always feel like a really nice break (and fun to watch trailers from other countries).
If most of us use stories as a way to give meaning to our lives’ events, it makes sense that travelling could be seen as a way to jumpstart the meaning-making process.

When we travel, everything is a potential story, from the moment we head to the airport to shock of returning home. Each experience feels steeped with meaning. #TravelBlog

Despite the absolutely cliched nature of the leave-it-all-behind-to-travel-the-world-and-find-yourself narrative, the way people latch on to it suggests that there is something significant about the story itself. #TravelBlog https://t.co/Z9rKsvrXVE

Some travellers become so overwhelmed from seeing certain art in person that they experience what is called Stendhal Syndrome, named for the 19th century writer who was so moved by the church of Santa Croce that he had heart palpitations and dizziness.

Many of us travel in search of beauty, and this experience is often influenced by poetry, literature and, of course, visual art.
