Travel can alter perceptions and may even rewire your brain. Novelty and unique one-of-a-kind experiences raise dopamine levels, the chemical in your head that gives you optimism, curiosity and creativity.

Travelers have occurrences, while abroad. They cannot be created,   they    undergo them.   They are somatic and     visceral and in-your-face. Too bad my videos don’t include SMELL-avision. The stench to my olfactory is awesome! without imitation, without precedent.   For these occurrences     to become an adventure,    however, it is necessary to recount them later at a cocktail party or blogging about them.
