> and for god sakes, travel
I'm very fortunate to have a position where I work exactly 40 hours (some of which is programming). This has allowed me the freedom to pursue other activities, such as meeting and developing an extremely deep relationship with my girlfriend, being an active participant in my church, completing Financial Peace University, joining a local Toastmasters club, and joining CrossFit and getting in the best shape of my life.*
However, I have not yet done any major traveling. Why do you put such high importance on it?
I'm not asking why traveling is generally good, but why _you_ specifically are recommending it so highly.
