“We
travel, initially, to lose ourselves;
and we travel, next, to find ourselves.
We travel to open our hearts and eyes
and learn more about the world
than our newspapers will accommodate.
We travel to bring what little we can,
in our ignorance and knowledge,
to those parts of the globe
whose riches are differently dispersed.
And we travel, in essence, to become young fools again
—to slow time down and get taken in,
and fall in love once more.”
— Pico Iyer
