Why you should visit a new destination
Just that "going local" in a new place -- the more "exotic" the better -- more memorable, and feels longer.
You can get a lot out of place in a short time by filling it with new, varied activities. I visited Quebec City.
And it's not just new experiences found on the road, but what you bring back.
Not everyone wants the same things from travel. Sometimes there's nothing better than doing nothing on a beach for a week. That's fine, even healthy.
Still I think we need a new travel rule: go to at least one new place every three years.
That way, we can stretch the perceived time of our vacations, expand our memories in a youthful-like way, and return home with more creative ideas.
Plus, we'll know more of what we've been missing.
