You don’t need a plane ticket to travel. A bus to a town an hour away still rewires what “normal” means.

What travel actually does is break the assumption that the way things are arranged where you live is the way things are. That happens at any distance. An hour away, the shops close at different times, people greet each other differently, the streets are laid out by someone with other ideas, and your own town becomes visible to you for the first time.

Go somewhere unglamorous and close this month with no plan beyond walking around. Buy something, sit somewhere, pay attention to what feels slightly off. The value is in the comparison, and comparison does not require a passport.
