What did Søren Kierkegaard mean when he said this?

"People commonly travel around the world to see rivers and mountains, new stars, birds of rare plumage, queerly deformed fishes, ridiculous breeds of men – they abandon themselves to the bestial stupor which gapes at existence, and they think they have seen something."

Generally speaking, Kierkegaard was all about inwardness. He was disgusted by what he saw as people's superficiality and their lack of care for their souls. He felt that people had unthinkingly accepted Christian dogma instead of making a decisive, individual choice to accept or reject the challenge that Christ represents. 

Kierkegaard wrote using a variety of pseudonyms who had different mentalities, so in order for us to tell you what Kierkegaard meant by any quotation, we need to know which of Kierkegaard's pseudonyms was writing the passage.
