A RTW trip allows a person to absorb new cultures, which consequently (if they're open-minded) would hopefully transform them into a more evolved human being, with an understanding and tolerance of the differences that exist in this world. And perhaps, allowing said individual to develop a more balanced perspective of life, and not be so myopic in their views about the world in general.
