“Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life—and travel—leaves marks on you.”
— Anthony Bourdain
Simplified Meaning:
When you travel, you're not the same person when you come back. Imagine taking a trip to another country. You try new foods, meet new people, and see different ways of living. These experiences teach you new things and give you a different perspective. For example, you might visit a country where people value family time more than work, and you might start to think differently about your own life priorities. At the same time, your presence leaves small changes in the places you visit. Maybe you share a laugh with someone, or your words provide comfort to a fellow traveler. Even small interactions can make a big impact. In short, travel is like a two-way street: you change and grow, and in turn, you make an impression on the people and places you encounter. When you come back home, you're not just carrying souvenirs, but also new ideas and experiences that shape who you are.
