Ben Groundwater has explored the question of “why we travel” in the travel blog on The Age. After considering the curiosity, the food, the buzz and the romance, he narrows it down to one word: people.

The people are what make a destination. There’s only so much joy you can get from nice scenery, amazing wildlife, or good food. In the end, you have to talk to the locals, and that’s what will decide whether you’ve had a good trip or not.

Darned good reason, I figure.
