"want" is like something you will do someday. Whether it ever happens is based on the person's level of understanding about commitment. "need" is when there's zero time between when it's said and when it's done. so if you need to travel, then by tomorrow/next week you should be out of the country.
similar to your example: i want to eat. because right now, eating would fulfill some part of me. i need to eat. because eating is necessary for physical survival. but need can mean emotional survival too. i love to eat. because if i'm going to do something, i going to find the best parts about it and enjoy it. yep.
need represents a weakness, a vulnerability. want is empowering, and shows that you have control over your decision and your life.
need connotes that your life is out of your control. rather than want, choose is even a better term. i choose to travel demonstrates that you have an awareness of your higher self, and that you are choosing to nurture yourself in such a way.
this distinction has come up quite often in my recent discussions about self transformation and growing. i'd like to talk about it further. i hope we meet online again soon.
if you need to do something, you cannot possibly survive without it. my friend was talking recently about, for example --
i want to make art - i have a desire to make art. it is something i feel like doing. i need to make art - there is a burning passion in my heart that commands me to fucking make art. i love to make art - i seriously enjoy doing making art. besides needing and wanting to, it is something i am happy while doing.
