Planes, trains, automobiles, and rambling walks compel the mind to halt its endless skipping rope workout -- three jumps in the future, two in the past -- getting tangled up and tripping over repeatedly."

She continued, " Routine is commonly described as a fixed time to do fixed things. An elixir to enhance productivity, and a cage. When we travel, devoid of routine, we wander, watch and wonder. What does travel do for you? Let me know in the comments below."
