Comments so far are missing a major reason travel is likely enjoyable. One of my favorite theories on why time feels like it accelerates as you get older is that your brain tends to only store unique memories. Like that daily commute you do every day and the odd feeling you sometimes get at the end of it where you can’t remember driving…

Travel is a set of unique experiences that form unique memories. Part of what’s addicting and pleasurable is that it helps slow down the perception of the passage of time, among many other positives.

It’s also self reinforcing in that when you think back, you tend to disproportionately remember travel vs other experiences.

There’s clearly a lot more benefits than that, but it certainly seems like a significant factor.

this is exactly how i think about it too. Only diffs counts. so main goal in life is to create as many diffs as possible.

This reminds me of one of the most epic episodes of Money Heist where $character, shortly before dying, says something that resonated a lot with me:

> Mucha gente cree que en la vida solo hay un gran amor, lo que no saben es que se pueden vivir varias vidas. […] Hoy acaba algo pero es el día de tu siguiente vida. Tienes que vivir muchas vidas […], muchas...

(English translation: https://www.deepl.com/translator#es/en/Mucha%20gente%20cree%.... )

I like to think that this can be applied not only to love (like here) but also to switching jobs, careers, places, … anything really that causes a big change (a diff, as you say) in life.
