to travel is worth any cost or sacrifice.

The line frames travel not as leisure but as a formative, even necessary, undertaking—something that justifies financial expense and personal hardship. Read this way, “cost or sacrifice” points to the trade-offs travel often demands: leaving familiar routines, enduring discomfort, risking uncertainty, and reallocating time and money. The claim elevates travel into a kind of moral or existential priority: the expansion of perspective, self-knowledge, and empathy gained through encountering other places and lives is presented as outweighing what must be given up. It also implies an ethic of intentional living—choosing experiences that enlarge one’s world over the security of staying put.
