In his letters, Horace Walpole reflects on the experiences of travel and how they change one’s perspective. He suggests that with each journey, the novelty of new places and customs becomes less surprising. As time passes in a new environment, people quickly adapt and find familiarity in their surroundings.

Walpole observes that despite geographical differences, human behavior remains remarkably consistent across cultures. This idea emphasizes that the essence of human experience transcends locations, making the world feel increasingly interconnected. Each new place feels less foreign as one recognizes shared traits among people.
