That's an interesting question. I had an interim term between jobs, and travelled around a few countries in Central Europe. It's interesting how many places are somehow connected, whether through train, bus, or cars. You get some sense how geography influenced economic and cultural diffusion, thereby affecting city development.
My main takeaway is that even when you change places, you can't change yourself. I finally acknowledged the issues in my life, and began to address them.
My primary interest shifted from the locations to the location's history. Basically, I wanted to learn how a state formed and left its border and society to this day.
With the pandemic nowadays, I live and work in a small room, but have no urge to go faraway outside. There is much knowledge to grasp to help me understand the human condition.
(I hope to reflect further in my travels and extract more novel insights. That will take time writing, but gotta do it soon before I forget.)
