There is definitely some truth to that but I feel that it is an unbalanced view. It really describes archetypal escapism. Not everyone travels to escape, and even for those who travel to escape it's usually not just an escape, you learn a lot while traveling. It enriches you, not just with memories which make you long to travel again.
You can certainly take the lessons about the mind, to be grateful and staying in the present moment, but also keep the variety in your life, whatever that means to you. That is what optimizes your experience.
