Well everything in life is ultimately part of a person's "experience", but some kinds of experience can be more valuable than others. Of course we gain knowledge from any experience, but that knowledge starts to become more limited the longer you have the same experience over and over. Like if a person lives in the same town their entire life, sure they understand a lot about that town, its people, its "cultural identity" I guess you could say. But that identity is completely different in context with the rest of the world. Someone who's lived in many different places and traveled a lot has a better understanding of the world as a whole.
