The best comment on the value of travel I ever heard was from the comedian Lewis Black. Paraphrasing, he said that the true value of seeing the world is when you come back and can see your own home with brand new eyes.

Perhaps inspired by T.S. Eliot:

We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
