Would Traveling Be Quite As Fun Without Borders?

• 14 years ago

One of the joys many travelers delight in after arriving in a new country is seeing a fresh stamp in their passport. That common souvenir is a rare metric in terms of travel, so imagine they disappeared due to vanishing borders around the globe.

Say for a moment all of the borders around the world disappeared – would traveling for you be quite as fun?

Personally I don’t think it would take the fun out of traveling and with the lack of borders we’d find something else to count, even just for the sake of counting. I’m guessing that for many people who enjoy traveling, borders are a small guilty pleasure and I’m interested to hear your thoughts. I appreciate your comments and will share some of them in an upcoming post early in the new year.
