Freedom: Does it really exist


According to google, the first definition of freedom that comes up is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. I would add the unconditional ability and opportunity to do whatever you want.  Travel is thought to be such freedom because it allows one to go wherever they want and do whatever they want. Explore strange new lands, foods, attitudes and customs!  The theory is sound, but the reality is that wherever you find yourself free to explore you’ll also be bound by the customs, attitudes and infrastructure of the land. 

The only option is to truly understand and re-define your freedom.
