escape 🏃♀️➡️,

There are many reasons why people chose to travel. For some, it holds a
deeper life purpose, while for others, it is simply an annual tradition.
Whatever an individual's reason may be, travelling has existed for a very
long time, and it will surely continue as long as humans inhabit this
planet.
In Goethe's time, for example, rich people from Europe went on a trip
called the
Grand Tour 🚂.
Back then, travel agencies already existed, but on a completely different
scale than today. The main purpose of the so-called Grand Tour was to open
people's minds, to learn about different cultures and to become wiser
before entering adulthood.
