I would have worded this differently – We travel for distraction; we wander for fulfillment. Does this make more sense?

It makes perfect sense. I think either serves, depending on your state of mind or personal philosophy.

I’m not familiar with Belloc’s work, but man, his picture reminds me of an old boyfriend….it’s almost freaky.

Is that good or bad? And I do not mean visually speaking, either, as Belloc was a cutie.

My initial reaction was that obviously Belloc had a brain beneath his physical beauty, but the fact that I’m commenting about a man that I knew 25 years ago indicates that there must have been more there than I thought!

Ha, nice. I wish that there was a man from my past with Belloc’s particular looks. Of course, if phantom boyfriend lacked a brain I would have sent him to the curb. You are correct: your ex must have had something else going for him, too.
