Beautifully said, you hit the nail on the head.

Traveling can be the catalyst for growth, propelling you into the best version of yourself. The multitude of experiences and connections happen at such a quicker rate than if one just did the same routine, contributing in an immense opportunity for personal growth.

I love your line "Traveling...update yourself in to a better version of yourself, one that refines you and ultimately dumps all the residual components of your persona, living behind the slavery that your own Ego imposes over you."

Spoken from the heart.
