There is a certain reward – both mental and physical – that comes with the effort of breaking new ground. Travel experiences reveal what we did not know, and in the process, we become new and find truths we did not know before. Journeys do that. They give birth to new insights. They return us to the simple things, to real beauty – unmanicured, uncurated and often unnoticed. They remind us that the perfect travel experience is not just found in a photograph of an elusive animal, or a sunset over water, or a well-prepared meal. It is found in the quiet, in the people and in the slowness of things.
