To get away from one's working environment is, in a sense, to get away from one's self and this is often the chief advantage of travel and change.

Summary

This quote suggests that by leaving the familiar working environment, one can also distance themselves from their own limitations and routine. Traveling and experiencing change offer an opportunity to break free from the patterns and expectations that define one's self. It implies that the main benefit of exploring new places and embracing novelty lies in the ability to temporarily escape one's own identity and limitations, ultimately leading to personal growth and self-discovery.
