It's not wrong either, though. Experiences regularly and radically change people: you might not have been longing all your life to own a French castle looking at rich pictures if you actually went into one and experienced the humidity, gloominess and sheer impracticality of it all first hand.
Sending people to the other side of the world is overrated, but confronting your world views with actual experiences is a price worth paying most of the time.
Same way experiencing at least once a well cooked, well made dish can effectively lead you cook it better for the rest of your life.
As anything, it varies from people to people, and there's no single truth out there.
It's not just about worldviews - it's having to face the unfamiliar and unpredictable that tends to change people. The best travels are voyages of discovery about oneself.
However, not every trip can be that. The more you travel, the weaker the experience becomes, and eventually one reaches a point where there is little left to learn by being on the road.
