Travel never tires, at least not to me. Whether it's a flight, a train ride or a road trip, I love looking at the landscape gliding by and watching all the peculiarities of local mundanity. Farms, fields, factories.

What about you? Do you like looking at landscapes along the way, or do you prefer the familiarity of your own environment.
