Who are we? How did it happen and where are we going? Throughout its history, man has not yet answered these questions. However, driven by curiosity, he now wanders the Earth, trying to compensate for this knowledge about himself.
It is possible that the desire for travel in humans is in the genes. Each has a gene that can arouse curiosity, only its work is manifested in everyone in different ways.
The one who has his influence is more curious. Even ancient man, this feeling drove farther and farther from their homes. There, where there was something new and unexplored: exotic fruits and more delicious, in their opinion, water. It was curiosity that made it possible to acquire new knowledge, and this helped the ancient man to survive.
The modern person is also interested in travel. This interest is growing in parallel with the development of civilization. You can remember not so distant times (18-19 centuries). At that time, a person did not even think about resting somewhere, did not strive to distant countries. This is understandable. At that time, high-speed modes of transport were not yet invented, capable of delivering a tourist to anywhere in the world in the shortest possible time.
Nowadays, every year hundreds of thousands of tourists go to other countries for new, unexplored sensations. The French go to the USA or Cuba, the Portuguese go to Greece. And the citizens of our country can be brought to the most remote corner of the planet.
In the modern world, only the economic situation can affect the ability to travel.
What is the reason for such a zeal for travel? Is there really no sea or beaches at home? Or someone doesn't like entertainment? This is not the point. Even if near the house there is everything you need to relax, a modern person will not be satisfied with this. He is attracted by curiosity to other countries to find out what kind of people live there, what they wear, what they eat and how they relax. In second place, nature and wildlife are of interest. And the more differences from their homeland, the greater the craving.
In this case, the term "exotic" is appropriate. For distant countries (for example, Chile and Thailand) it will be a beer festival in Munich or ski slopes. For our tourist, monkeys, elephants and bananas growing on palms are exotic, and in tropical countries they dream of seeing snow.
Yes, travel is not cheap! And if the trip is planned with the whole family? But you don't have to go to distant countries, where a flight can cost more than a vacation. There is an opportunity to get to know your country better.
Some may object, citing the fact that in their native places every stone is familiar. However, this is debatable. Something new, amazing and incredibly beautiful can be found even near the house. The main thing is not to suppress the craving for the new and the amazing. So travel. It is interesting.
