Do you know that somewhere out there, perhaps far far away, across the globe, the mountain and the seas, there is a place specially made just for you? That place can be dubbed as your 'home of your soul"apart from your first home? when you found it you'll be thoroughly amazed that such a place exists. No, not heaven. Ever heard of The Lotus Eater? About how Thomas Wilson was so mesmerized by the beauty of The Island of Capri and decided to spend the rest of his life there with his planned savings? It isn't quite a good example of living life- as life is short as it is.
“A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.”
― Lao Tzu
Anything will happen tomorrow- the best thing is to live the present to its fullest.I believe each place has its own beauty to offer. But it isn't healthy to be crazily obsessed with any place at all to the point you could not rationalize over logical thinking.
Also, most importantly, not forgetting yourself and where you belong to. Looking at Malaysia, I've long got over the racism because this is where I'm born even if you think we still live on trees chew on banana leaves for food or travel by foot or even if you can't find it in the globe so what?
If there's one thing that Malaysia has taught me, is to be proud of the country and its unique cultures. The world out there is just a temporary escape to experience a different reality.
and so when you finally travel-
You not only go with the purpose just to have fun but with the intention to take upon something, learn it and nail it into life. You'll be able to broaden your view about the world and even come back to your homecountry feeling more appreciative of your homeland.
Who needs it most?
Basically, everyone. Whether you are proud of your own country or not, there will bound to be changes in your views after experiencing the world out there.

The classic place with its calming view at night. Imagine riding on a boat with that typical tall boatman singing for you with his opera voice. Does this scenery look familiar to you? Remember those classic romance French/English movies? They were filmed here.

A picture says a thousand words- how could anyone not feel the urge to travel upon looking at the pictures of these beautiful places around the world?
“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”
― Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky
