“What I’ve learned in my travels is that people are more alike than they are different. Yes, I may have a different home or lifestyle than a mom living in Shanghai, but deep down we are still mothers who hope for the best in our children. I always find so much in common with those I meet on my travels – and that provides a genuine connection that cultural differences can’t erase.”
Janna Graber“It is my hope that this book will help to demystify the origins of travel writing and show that when thousands of travelers follow a guidebook word-for-word, recommendation-for-recommendation, it not only harms contemporary international travel but can also do serious harm to places in developing countries.”
Thomas Kohnstamm, Do Travel Writers Go to Hell?: A Swashbuckling Tale of High Adventures, Questionable Ethics, and Professional Hedonism“The pleasure we derive from journeys is perhaps dependent more on the mindset with which we travel than on the destination we travel to.”
Alain de Botton, The Art of Travel“If a local doesn't have to pay it, there's a way for traveler's to get around it.”
Russell Hannon, Stop Dreaming Start Traveling: The Ultimate Guide to Traveling More and Spending Less“Before he sets out the traveller must possess fixed interests and facilities to be served by travel. If he drifted aimlessly from country to country he would not travel but only wander ramble as a tramp. The traveller must be somebody and come from somewhere so his definite character and moral traditions may supply an organ and a point of comparison for his observations.”
George Santayana“Travel makes me feel like a bird,Travel gives me a sense of freedom,Travel makes me come alive!”
Archana Chaurasia Kapoor“Unless there is a strong sense of place there is no travel writing, but it need not come from topographical description; dialogue can also convey a sense of place. Even so, I insist, the traveler invents the place. Feeling compelled to comment on my travel books, people say to me, "I went there"---China, India, the Pacific, Albania-- "and it wasn't like that." I say, "Because I am not you.”
Paul Theroux, The Best American Travel Writing 2001“Travel has a way of making the world a much smaller place.”
Janna Graber, Chance Encounters: Travel Tales from Around the World“Every perfect traveller always creates the country where he travels.”
