Travel or Heaven’s Treasure?

Traveling to a distant and exotic land is not going to change the state of one's heart and therefore can be futile. The Laodiceans had money, wealth, commerce, and material goods and yet the Son of God said that they were "wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked." Revelation 3:17 (KJV)

Here's the whole verse:

"Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.” Revelation 3:17

Travel, money, and things are external and cannot change the state of the human heart. They are therefore vanity and futile in their final analysis. I would rather stay put and enjoy the love, joy, and peace of Christ than to travel to exotic places with a heart that is void of the very Riches of Heaven - Jesus Christ.

Geographic relocation is not the answer to the deep need of sinful man. Jesus Christ, the very Prince of peace, is our answer.
