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.
Isn't it ironic that so many ppl in their explorations are drawn to countries with such strong traditions, India being just one such example. For whatever reason, nobody goes exploring themselves in Norway...
