To explore, have new experiences, to meet people and have a jolly good time, sure. To change the environment so as to get an epiphany, absolutely. Go travel.
But if you can't escape your mind, it doesn't matter where you go. A new country, another city, it's all the same. The greatest escape is right there between your ears, as is the strongest of prisons.
That's why the prisoner in the tower watches the flight the birds.
When your soul is unfettered, nobody and nothing can tie you down, and the rest is just, fiddly bits.
