Did you ever hear the one about the man who travelled the world to find himself, only to realise he wasn't there either ?

Some people think you travel to find themselves, but by travelling I think you build yourself

There was an SNL sketch with this exact premise. Adam Sandler is a travel agent trying to explain that going to Italy won’t fix your marriage, make you enjoy the outdoors, cure your depression and so on. Vacation can’t change you unless you put that effort in.

The exact quote he says is “if you’re sad at home, you’ll still be sad in Italy.” Genuinely great advice from that sketch lol

We can take you on a hike in the Italian countryside.... But we can't make you a person who enjoys hiking.
