Kangaeru, I like that line of thought. Travel also (depending on where one goes) can *really* bring home to you (a general you, not directed at anyone) what you do have, and see if maybe you've been taking a few things for granted.
As an aside, I am also of the opinion that travel can bring folks together...I know that if I can travel with a partner, or a friend, we really do get along. When stewpid Air France lost Jack's luggage, he had to go on the trip of a lifetime without anything but what what on his back and in his carry-on (cameras and equipment!). I witnessed his behavior the entire time, and I was very highly impressed with how he dealt with the situation the entire time. My respect for him grew so much.
