Explanation:

A complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one dependent clause.

• "Some people travel to cities; other people travel to rural areas." is a compound sentence (two independent clauses joined by a semicolon).
• "When you experience a new place, it enhances your understanding of other people." has the dependent clause "When you experience a new place" and independent clause "it enhances your understanding of other people".
• "After traveling to a national park, people feel a greater appreciation for nature." has the dependent clause "After traveling to a national park" and independent clause "people feel a greater appreciation for nature".
• "You should travel somewhere you have never been because you can explore a new place." has the dependent clause "because you can explore a new place" and independent clause "You should travel somewhere you have never been" (with an embedded dependent clause "you have never been" as well).
• "You can even travel to a new area near your home, and some people call this a 'staycation'." is a compound sentence (two independent clauses joined by "and").
