“The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are”
— Samuel Johnson

Simplified Meaning:
When you travel, it helps you see the real world instead of just imagining what it's like from books, TV, or other people's stories. For example, if you always heard that New York City is a big, exciting place, going there and experiencing it yourself will give you a true picture. You might find that it’s both more amazing and different than you imagined. Traveling lets you see and understand how people live and what places actually look and feel like. This means that your ideas about the world are based on real experiences, not just guesswork. Applying this to your life means that rather than dreaming about or assuming things, you should try to experience and understand them firsthand.
