"هیچ سرزمین خارجی وجود ندارد این تنها مسافر است که خارجی است"
— Robert Louis Stevenson
Simplified Meaning:
When someone travels to a new place, the land itself isn't strange; it's the visitor who feels out of place. Imagine someone from a small village visiting a big city for the first time. The city, with its tall buildings and busy streets, is normal for the people who live there. But for the visitor, everything is new and unfamiliar. This shows that feeling out of place comes from within the traveler, not from the place they are visiting. To feel more at home in new surroundings, one could learn about the local culture and try to connect with the people there. By doing this, the new place can start to feel more familiar and less foreign.
