Especially abroad. My childhood and youth were spent in a then communist country with severe restrictions on travel abroad. You had to apply to get a passport for every travel separately with a compulsory interview with security police. Before even applying you had to show you had foreign currency (which it was illegal to buy... but legal to get as a gift from someone who was entitled to have it: a foreigner, for example) or that you had an official, certified by their embassy, invitation from somebody living abroad. I chose my career to allow me to travel abroad - luckily it was within the sphere of my interests :-) And even now, many years later, I still put travel, especially to any new and as yet unknown place as a top priority.
