Why do we chase transformational experiences? Is it because we are mad at or friends and family and we want to get away? Is it because we are bored with our lives? Or is it because we want to find ourselves?

But, sometimes people aren't just bored, they are upset with their lives. They could be mad at their family's or friends or significant other and it drives them to leave or run away. Other times people want to find themselves. Someone may tell them they are a bad person and they need to change, or they just want to better themselves for their own good, so they set out to do that. Whether it's boredom, anger, finding themselves, or just wanderlust people chase experiences that could change their lives forever.
