I love the title and mood of this thread and will have to come back to read it in detail when its not so late.

Its pretty circumstantial but i'm inclined to agree with my mother who told me before I left home that if you're miserable at home, you're likely to be miserable everywhere you go. Happiness is an inner thing. The fact that misery did follow me across the world helped me realise this so I don't regret travelling for that reason.

On the other hand, travel can do wonders for the miserable type simply because you tend to see and experience things that even the most cynical of souls just can't help but be moved by. These sorts of things seem to stick in your memory and stand as reasons as to why life is worth living.
