I don't travel a great deal any more. When I do go somewhere, it's usually to visit one of my relatives. But I like your idea of going somewhere without a particular purpose in mind. Although if I make a trip in the winter again, there will be the underlying purpose of escaping winter!
That is always such a good reason!! :) I hate winter, but all the places close to me (aka also in Europe) are cold as hell during winters as well, so it doesn't make for much fun traveling ;)
