Agreed fully with everybody else here - this piece seems to be aimed a very narrow group of people. Specifically, people who travel to be seen and find themselves.
My inherent goal of travel is not to be transformed by the trip, it is to explore and learn about a new place. I find myself transformed by my experiences and gain new respect for different cultures. Traveling is just as transformative as any other experience we can do.
