Meditation, Try to think what is in it that makes me traveling so worth doing!

That is like whenever you are in a new place for the first time, You are present in the moment, you won't think of anything else, right? that's the reason your mind will love to be in present and that pulls you to save your money just for traveling. And the reason why I am saying is that meditation just helps you to do that, meditation is for being in the present.

Hence another way to get a similar vibe as in traveling.
