Many times when we think about travel, we immediately think about going somewhere new. That kind of travel is all about novelty: new landscapes, new cultures, a new understanding of the world around us.

But there’s another kind of travel, one that may be a bit overlooked or underappreciated: traveling to places we’ve already been. Some of my best trips, incidentally, have not been to brand new locales, but returns to places I’ve lived and loved, from New York City and Miami to London and Madrid.
