It energizes every tissue of the body and rejuvenates one to take on the rigors of life. However, there is one big issue with outings. If the person falls ill or faces some problem in an alien land, how is he going to get out of the rut. In an alien land where one might be oblivious to the way of life and price of things, there is every possibility of the person being thoroughly fleeced.
