The baggage will also never get lighter when you run from it instead of learning to better yourself from it. People who are scared run. When you run you end up facing it again, because you didn't learn how to handle it the first time... damn,, now ya gottta do this again? don't run...
if you use a cell phone or a credit card, you won't have gotten away from anything. the whole world, or at least the spook shops, who then pass it on to law enforcement, know precisely where you are, every time you do.
which is not say a change of scene can't be a good, healthy and inspiring thing. but it IS absolutely true, that no matter where you go, there YOU still are.
